Welcome to Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu! In this high-energy episode, Tom Bilyeu and co-host Drew dive headfirst into the seismic shifts happening across tech, business, politics, and culture. Kicking things off with a breakdown of Jack Dorsey's dramatic AI-driven layoffs—where half of Block's staff was cut because AI simply became too powerful—Tom Bilyeu lays out why this is a shot heard around the world. Expect a rapid-fire update on groundbreaking headlines: from AI hacking governments and overhauling finance, to AI-written sermons landing priests in hot water with the Pope. But it's not all tech talk. The conversation expands to explore how AI advances are fundamentally reshaping the job market, with real ramifications for unemployment, entrepreneurship, and even the future of society. Tom Bilyeu and Drew debate whether we're headed toward a new wave of prosperity or staring down socioeconomic upheaval. Politics are front and center too, including analysis of bold diplomacy moves, the housing crisis, and a no-holds-barred criticism of performative government antics like congressional dog shows. Plus, the hosts tackle pressing global issues such as growing Middle East tensions, media consolidation, censorship, and fresh developments in the Epstein scandal. Always candid, sometimes provocative, Tom Bilyeu brings sharp insights into the exponential speed of change and what it means for all of us. Strap in for actionable takeaways, unfiltered opinions, and a preview of the complex future we're all rushing toward—whether we're ready or not. What's up, everybody?

On this episode of the MeidasTouch Podcast, we break down the accelerating fallout from the Epstein Files, including the stunning resignation of the World Economic Forum's CEO and new revelations about the DOJ burying deeply troubling allegations involving Donald Trump and a minor. We also cover the chaotic closed-door Clinton deposition that was briefly derailed after Republicans leaked images to a MAGA propagandist while continuing to block public transparency. Meanwhile, JD Vance's latest attempt to sell Trump's economy goes off the rails, Trump's wellness influencer–turned–Surgeon General nominee faces a brutal hearing that raises serious concerns, and Netflix pulls out of its bid to acquire Warner Bros.

How has the idea of ethics been affected by the rise of AI? This week, Technology Now is exploring the ideas of ethical and responsible AI. We examine how integrated into society AI has become, we ask how we co-exist with AI, and we look into how regular people, organisations, and governments are having to respond to the increasing adoption of AI. Kay Firth-Butterfield, CEO of Good Tech Advisory LLC and the world's first Chief AI Ethics Officer, tells us more.This is Technology Now, a weekly show from Hewlett Packard Enterprise. Every week, hosts Michael Bird and Sam Jarrell look at a story that's been making headlines, take a look at the technology behind it, and explain why it matters to organizations.

Rare diseases are often thought about in terms of the financial burden they create, but a new paper from the World Economic Forum urges policymakers, payers, and business leaders to see them as one of the greatest underappreciated opportunities in global health. In “Making Rare Diseases Count: How Better Data Can Unlock a Multi-Trillion Dollar Opportunity,” the organization argues that high-quality, patient-centered data must sit at the core of any rare disease strategy. We spoke to Will Greene, lead author of the paper and a board member of the Foundation for Prader-Willi Research, about the need for smarter collection, sharing, and analysis of data; how doing so can unlock outsized returns in human health, and what it will take to mobilize a broad set of stakeholders around that vision.

Er begründete den Schritt damit, dass das WEF seine Arbeit ohne Ablenkungen forsetzen solle.

Send me a text and let me know!!The Longevity Dividend: Why Aging is the Single Largest Business Opportunity of the Century What if the "silver tsunami" isn't a crisis, but the most significant economic engine of our time? While the world worries about aging populations, the data reveals a startling truth: the 60+ demographic now accounts for 27% of global spending and possesses the cognitive power of people decades younger.In this episode of Business Conversations with Pi and Piet 2.0, our AI hosts dismantle the "gloomy narrative" of aging. Using 2026 data from the IMF, World Economic Forum, and Interreg Europe, they explore the Longevity Economy—a shift from managing decline to supporting vitality.

In Part 4, we pull back the curtain completely—connecting transgender ideology, transhumanism, ESG control, global governance, and the spiritual battle unfolding behind it all. This episode asks the hard questions: — Why has the church gone silent? — How are corporations, governments, and financial institutions enforcing ideological compliance? — Why is transgenderism a means to an end, not the end goal? — What does Scripture say about standing firm when truth is under attack? From the World Economic Forum to the erosion of parental rights, from grooming in schools to the Church of Laodicea, this episode is a call to courage, clarity, and action. “We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers…”

Een Europese oorlog met Rusland, het einde van de oude wereldorde en de onthullingen rond de Epstein-files. In deze Holland Gold Maandupdate spreekt Yael Potjer met Sander Boon over de meest opvallende geopolitieke ontwikkelingen en machtsverschuivingen. Ze bespreken onder meer de NAVO, de strategie van Donald Trump, de speech van Mark Carney op het World Economic Forum, de ideeën van Ursula von der Leyen en de toekomst van de Europese Unie.Ook komt de toespraak van Marco Rubio aan bod, waarin de Verenigde Staten volgens Sander de hand uitsteken naar Europa voor een alliantie op basis van gedeelde waarden. Tegelijkertijd plaatst hij vraagtekens bij de koers van Ursula von der Leyen, die volgens hem mogelijk andere plannen heeft voor de toekomst van Europa. Volgens hem woedt er een fundamentele strijd over de waarden van het Westen.Daarnaast bespreken Yael en Sander de vraag of Europa daadwerkelijk afstevent op een oorlog met Rusland, nu de oorlogsretoriek toeneemt en er steeds nadrukkelijker wordt ingezet op de opbouw van de Europese oorlogsindustrie. Is de kans op verdere escalatie met Rusland reëel?Tot slot bespreken zij de belangrijkste lessen uit de Epstein-files en de mogelijke consequenties van deze openbaringen. Ook komt de rol van goud in een nieuwe wereldorde aan bod.Bekijk de website van Sander Boon: https://boonknopers.com/Volg Sander op X: https://x.com/Sander_O_BoonOverweegt u om goud en zilver aan te kopen?

Big goals are easy to write and hard to live.When strategies promise transformation but leave people asking what do I do on Monday, momentum dies and the execution gap widens.We sat down with Andrea Olson -  behavioral scientist, Harvard Business Review contributor, TEDx speaker, and founder of a change agency that works with companies from $300M to $36B. She's helped some of the biggest organizations in the world figure out why their strategy looks great on paper and dies in execution. We unpack how to move from lofty visions to daily behaviors that actually change outcomes.We'll chat about:Why "getting the right people in the right seats" is nearly meaningless without a definition of rightThe mistake most companies make at the top with their strategy that cascades down into chaosWhat Andrea calls a "Rosetta Stone" — a simple tool to translate high-level strategy into real behaviors for every person, from the CEO to the janitorWhy SMART goals aren't the answer at the strategy level (and what is)The 2 things that actually change behavior at work: confidence and beliefWhy culture and strategy aren't two separate things, and why treating them that way is costing youHow to help your team make better decisions in uncertainty without just telling them what to doThe Undercover Boss move every executive should be making right nowWhat AI adoption really requires, and why "everyone just use it" is not a strategy...This one is for every leader, business owner, and striver who's tired of watching great plans go nowhere. Expect concrete language, role-level guidance, and a step-by-step way to cascade strategy without crushing initiative.Subscribe, share with a leader who needs a clearer path from plan to action, and leave a review telling us the one behavior you'll change this week.Connect with Andrea:Personal website: andreabelkolson.comPragmadik: pragmadik.comLinkedIn: Search Andrea Belk Olson Andrea's work:Articles on Harvard Business Review, Entrepreneur Magazine, Inc.

AI-generated content and deepfakes are rewriting the rules of creative ownership. So what are writers, artists, and performers doing about it? In this panel discussion from the AI House at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, SAG-AFTRA National Executive Director and Chief Negotiator Duncan Crabtree-Ireland joined multidisciplinary artist Emi Kusano and MIT Technology Review Editor-in-Chief Mat Honan for a discussion about how performers secured contract protections for digital replicas, how artists are using AI ethically in their own creative practice, and how journalists are setting boundaries around AI-generated content in newsrooms. The panel was moderated by Nicholas Thompson, CEO of The Atlantic. *The views expressed by guests are their own and do not necessarily reflect the views of their organization or SAG-AFTRA.

Case Western Reserve University turns 200 One of Ohio's oldest colleges, Case Western Reserve University, just turned 200 this month. It traces its founding to Western Reserve College in Hudson in 1826, named after the region which was known then as the Western Reserve of Connecticut. At the time, Northeast Ohio's population was growing, and the Industrial Revolution was leading to opportunities for technical and scientific advancement in Cleveland, with the help of philanthropists like Leonard Case Jr. 200 years later, colleges and universities across the country are facing a completely different environment, from threats to federal and state funding, major enrollment decline, population loss in Ohio and changing attitudes over whether a four-year degree is worth the cost of admission amid major workforce changes and the rapid integration of artificial intelligence. Several long-standing universities in Ohio have had to merge, severely cut staff and programs or close completely as they deal with financial uncertainty and debt. On Thursday's "Sound of Ideas," we'll start by talking to Case Western Reserve University President, Eric Kaler, about the role of higher education today, and how he plans to not only weather the current storm but lead on a global level. Case Western Reserve University was recently named one of the top 30 colleges in the world by Time Magazine. Guests:- Eric Kaler, Ph.D., President, Case Western Reserve University Frederick Douglass' historic speech resonates todayThe power of education and the ability of young people to reshape the world were among the broader themes of a historic commencement speech delivered by abolitionist Frederick Douglass in Hudson in 1854 at what was then known as Western Reserve College. The speech sharply debunked so-called scientific racism, the belief that different racial and ethnic groups have innately differing levels of physical, intellectual and moral development that distinguish them as superior or inferior. Douglass' words are getting renewed attention in an award-winning documentary that features academy students. The film, "Just and Perfect" is being shown as part of this year's multi-city Black History Festival which begins this weekend. CeCe Payne the writer and producer of the film, and Iiyannaa Graham-Siphanoum, the Associate Dean for Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging for Western Reserve Academy spoke to us recently about the film and how the speech still connects to students today. We originally had this conversation on Jan. 21 in advance of an event at the school commemorating the speech and a campus visit by a descendant of Frederick Douglass. That show was pre-empted by President Trump's speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos Switzerland. Guests:- CeCe Payne, Writer & Producer, "Just and Perfect"- Iiyannaa Graham-Siphanoum, Associate Dean for Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging, Western Reserve Academy The Menu: Fish Fry Lent began this week. It's the 40-day reflective period observed by Catholics and with that another cherished community tradition has returned as well: fish fry season. From church halls to local breweries, diners will be filling plates with beer-battered cod, fried Lake Erie perch, pierogies and coleslaw. We're talking fish fries on this installment of The Menu, our biweekly look at Northeast Ohio's food scene in partnership with Cleveland Magazine. We're going to talk about where to participate, what to expect, and why this tradition continues to bring people together year after year. Guest:- Dillon Stewart, Editor, Cleveland Magazine

Send a textIn deze aflevering van blckbx Today bij Doelah Verzijde aan tafel: Gideon van Meijeren, Arno Wellens, Caroline Franssen en Karin-Maria Keser.Jarenlang werd kritiek op het World Economic Forum weggezet als complottheorie. Maar uit recente onthullingen in de Epstein Files blijkt dat er achter de schermen méér speelde dan gedacht. Zo wisselde Børge Brende, CEO van het WEF, e-mails uit met Jeffrey Epstein over ideeën rond een nieuwe mondiale architectuur — en zelfs het vervangen van de VN. Wat betekent dit voor democratie en transparantie? FVD-Kamerlid Gideon van Meijeren schuift aan om deze ontwikkelingen te duiden. Daarnaast spreken we met Caroline Franssen, bestuursvoorzitter van Voor-zij. Met een petitie vraagt zij aandacht voor vrouwen in gevangenissen die noodgedwongen verblijven met mannen die zich identificeren als transgender. Wordt er nog voldoende rekening gehouden met de veiligheid en rechten van deze vrouwen? Ook bespreken we de plannen rond de nieuwe Savings and Investments Union van de EU, die tijdens de recente Eurotop nadrukkelijk op de agenda stond. Wat houdt dit financiële project écht in? Financieel journalist Arno Wellens legt uit waarom dit plan volgens hem grotere gevolgen kan hebben dan op het eerste gezicht lijkt. Tot slot: wat zegt je gebit eigenlijk over je algehele gezondheid? Holistisch mondhygiënist Karin-Maria Keser pleit voor een andere kijk op tandheelkunde. Zijn de materialen die we gebruiken wel zo onschuldig?

Dr. Adam Dorsay introduces SuperPsyched and frames the growing misinformation problem, citing low trust in traditional media , the rise of influencer-based news consumption among 18–29 year olds, research that false news spreads faster than truth on Twitter, and the World Economic Forum ranking misinformation/disinformation as the most severe global risk in 2024 and 2025. He interviews Dr. Avi Tuschman (Stanford StartX serial entrepreneur; Stanford doctorate in anthropological science; expert on human political bias) about Cricket (C-R-I-C-K-I-T), an AI tool that provides real-time in-stream fact checks for social media videos, starting with YouTube on desktop. The discussion covers why misinformation spreads (high-arousal content, negativity bias, suggestibility, and attention scarcity), why it affects everyone (including errors/omissions/exaggerations in reputable content), and the relationship between media ecosystems, polarization, and a global democratic recession. Avi raises concerns about TikTok's influence, urging people over 30 to review its “society” content, citing examples of high-production misinformation, alleged foreign influence efforts, elevated WWII revisionism compared with Instagram (UNESCO figure of 5.7x), and medical misinformation (e.g., a study finding ~25% of asthma content has significant misrepresentations and is overrepresented in viewing). He describes Cricket's user experience as subtitle-like overlays with a pause expansion panel summarizing evidence in ~40–50 words, and positions it as a tool to build media literacy and critical thinking—like a flight simulator for evaluating persuasion and uncertainty. Plans include mobile support and additional platforms, potentially later in the year, though TikTok is not supported yet.

More than half of Americans say job insecurity is crushing them with stress. So how do some people look like they've always had it figured out? Spoiler: they haven't.  Host Elizabeth Weingarten traveled to the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland to pull aside C-Suite leaders, entrepreneurs, and founders from companies like BetterUp, Zoom, Bain & Company, and more to talk about the moments when work inexplicably shifts—the layoffs, the pivots, the feeling of being completely stuck.  From Dr. Becky Kennedy discovering that admitting "I don't know" was actually the path to knowing herself, to Ray Wang's father asking him "what are you worth?" before he started his own company, to Josh Kallmer's "happiness matrix" that pulled him out of his darkest professional period, these leaders show that navigating uncertainty is what makes great leaders.

On this special episode, join Pete as he catches up with Nicole Sahin, Founder and CEO of G-P, who shares an insider's POV on the World Economic Forum's annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland.  Together, they unpack what Davos is and what attending entails, and the value in the density of global CEOs, heads of state, founders, and policymakers converging annually on the small alpine village.  Nicole shares what that proximity reveals about the direction of business, talent, and technology, and how geopolitical tension and macroeconomic uncertainty are shaping executive conversations. They discuss why business leaders worldwide are seeking stability, cooperation, and frictionless cross-border operations. They explore the evolving reality of global hiring and talent mobility, and how countries like India and the UAE are accelerating digitization to attract innovation and entrepreneurship, and what that means for governance, compliance, and cross-border employment in the years ahead.  Plus, Nicole shares her lens on AI's evolution from disruption narrative to enterprise reality, and why enterprise organizations are moving decisively to embed AI into HR, legal, and compliance functions.

Welcome back to The Circular Economy Show and another episode of Circular Snapshots, where we unpack the headlines shaping the transition to a circular economy.This month, Seb explores the EU's upcoming Circular Economy Act and its shift toward positioning circularity as industrial strategy, not just environmental policy. We look at new global data revealing rapid growth in national circular economy roadmaps, and why implementation is now the real test.We also dive into the growing link between circular economy and critical mineral supply chains — from insights at the World Economic Forum to new analysis on EV batteries and material security. Finally, we examine a major UK industry push for a mandatory textiles Extended Producer Responsibility scheme, and what it could mean for transforming one of the economy's most linear sectors.From policy to supply chains to industry coalitions, this episode highlights one clear trend: the circular economy is becoming central to competitiveness.Stories referenced in today's episode:EU Circular Economy Acthttps://www.brusselstimes.com/1937610/europes-new-circular-economy-act-getting-the-basics-right-for-eu-competitivenessNational Circular Economy Roadmapshttps://www.unido.org/sites/default/files/unido-publications/2026-01/Stocktake%20CE%20Roadmaps%202025.pdfCritical minerals and the circular economyhttps://www.weforum.org/stories/2026/01/circular-economy-clean-energy-supply-chain-critical-minerals/Circular economy and EV batterieshttps://www.forbes.com/sites/jamiehailstone/2026/01/27/circular-economy-could-prevent-an-ev-battery-minerals-bottleneck-study-finds/Textiles and EPRhttps://resource.co/article/uk-textiles-industry-group-publishes-10-point-blueprint-mandatory-epr-scheme

In this episode, Chris, David, and Mark consider the state of the world and the sustainability agenda at the beginning of 2026. They discuss what recent global polling shows about societal polarization, the risks of hyper-global and local inequalities, and the risks related to loss of trust in democratic institutions. Recorded just after the 2026 World Economic Forum in Davos, the conversation foreshadows many of the major themes the podcast will touch on this year.

Rutger Bregman is a Dutch historian and best-selling author of Utopia for Realists and Humankind: A Hopeful History. In 2019, he went viral for his takedown of billionaires at the World Economic Forum and for a heated exchange with Tucker Carlson. Today, he joins the show to discuss his latest book, Moral Ambition, which he defines as the desire to use your available talents and resources to make the world a better place rather than focus solely on individual wealth. He argues the real question is whether the work you've chosen is ambitious enough in moral terms—whether your day-to-day life tackles the big problems facing humankind. He explains why “follow your passion” is often bad advice; why moral breakthroughs tend to come from small, disciplined groups rather than mass appeal; and why moral progress is neither automatic nor inevitable.

Canada's Prime Minister Mark Carney gave a rousing speech at the World Economic Forum on January 20, 2026 about the rupture of the rules-based order of the globalized economy, and he emphasized the need to build new coalitions to sustain the pressure coming from the United States' emerging authoritarianism. Carney said, “Great powers have begun using economic integration as weapons, tariffs as leverage, financial infrastructure as coercion, supply chains as vulnerabilities to be exploited. You cannot live within the lie of mutual benefit through integration, when integration becomes the source of your subordination.” Just as globalized, economic integrations are being weaponized by the United States, then Big Tech's integrations woven throughout our lives will continue to become the source of our own subordination, especially as surveillance capitalism heads towards it's logical conclusion of an all-pervasive, AI Big Brother, perhaps eventually explicitly tied into authoritarian governments. The AI Big Brother has already started within the context of private companies, but with the outdated Third-Party doctrine of the Fourth Amendment, then any data given to a third party has "no legitimate 'expectation of privacy'." From UNITED STATES v. MILLER (1976): "The Fourth Amendment does not prohibit the obtaining of information revealed to a third party and conveyed by him to Government authorities." So the US government can request almost any data shared with a third party without a warrant, and given Big Tech's cozy relationship to a democratically-backsliding US government, then who knows what kinds of backroom deals are being made to automate data sharing. We're already in an era where almost all data given to a third party is not considered to be private, and you can start to see some early indications for how this can go wrong in Taylor Lorenz's interview with 404 Media's Joe Cox about ICE's surveillance technologies. It seems likely that we are entering into the very early phases of Orwell's worst nightmare of a 1984 surveillance state powered by Big Tech's AI. In this op-ed podcast episode, I connect some dots between Carney's Davos speech about the hegemonic forces in the geopolitical sphere and the parallels with Big Tech's push towards "contextually aware-AI," which is just an always-on AI that is surveillance capitalism on steroids. Carney's speech provides a lot of insights for how Canada is navigating this new reality where the rules-based order on the International stage seems to be dissolving. One of his deepest insights is to simply name the truth, and to describe precisely what is happening. He refers to a powerful story from Vaclav Havel's The Power of the Powerless where shopkeepers eventually "took their [propaganda] signs down" during communist rule after they were no longer willing to live within a lie. Carney says: "The system's power comes not from its truth, but from everyone's willingness to perform as if it were true, and its fragility comes from the same source. When even one person stops performing, when the greengrocer removes his sign, the illusion begins to crack. Friends, it is time for companies and countries to take their signs down." Taking down metaphoric signs breaks the spell of the collective performative ritual that sustains the power of an authoritarian regime. Taking a sign down is also the embodiment of the first lesson of Timothy Synder's On Tyranny, which is "Do Not Obey in Advance." This lesson is certainly easier said than done, and I've been surprised how pervasive and powerful the chilling effects to remain silent can be. I find myself self-censoring, going dark on social media, and just generally not speaking the full truth as I see it. So this episode is a step in that direction of trying to name things as I see them, but also drawing the parallels between these broader political contexts and how they're collapsing into the technological contexts.

In this week's episode of the All Things Sustainable podcast, we're exploring how aging global populations are impacting retirement, the workforce and the economy. We talk to Pat Tomlinson, President and CEO of global consulting firm Mercer, a Marsh McLennan business. Pat took the reins in 2024 and brings both global perspective and hands-on experience from the World Economic Forum's Longevity Economy Initiative, which aims to address the demographic and financial challenges of aging societies. "Having fewer workers as people age and … a lower birth rate will impact employers and will impact business and will impact society as we think about how to grow GDP," Pat says. Pat explains how retirement savings and healthcare systems need to evolve to meet the needs of the aging global population. And he outlines creative solutions that employers and governments are considering to address these challenges — including through public-private collaboration, AI, reskilling workers and flexible working arrangements.   Read the research: S&P Global's Top 10 Sustainability Trends to Watch in 2026 | S&P Global  Copyright ©2026 by S&P Global   DISCLAIMER       By accessing this Podcast, I acknowledge that S&P GLOBAL makes no warranty, guarantee, or representation as to the accuracy or sufficiency of the information featured in this Podcast.

In this forward-thinking episode, Sabine VanderLinden returns to kick off the year with a transformative discussion on “frontier firms” and the rise of agentic enterprises. As digital transformation accelerates, leaders face challenges like increasing climate risks, cyber threats, and widening protection gaps—pushing businesses (especially in regulated industries like insurance) to rethink strategies. Sabine explores how trailblazing organizations are leveraging AI not just as an assistant, but as an autonomous driver of capacity and productivity.  Through practical frameworks and real-world case studies, this episode lays out the playbook for riding the next wave of innovation, resilience, and growth. KEY TAKEAWAYS This year on Scouting for Growth, I wanted to regroup and make sure my podcast continues to deliver what matters most to you in the fast-paced transformation market. After a brief pause and reflection, and evaluating the insights from the World Economic Forum, with a clear sense that the world feels increasingly uninsurable—climate risk, cyber threats, and protection gaps are all expanding. But I believe that this narrative of uninsurability is simply a choice, not a certainty. I see a new class of leaders emerging, those who aren't just trying to manage risk but who are fundamentally changing how we approach it. Transformation isn't just happening in isolated labs; it's exploding at the convergence of capital, technology, and strategy—the true frontier of business. This is where agentic enterprises are emerging, blending human leadership with AI agents, forming digital workforces where competitive advantage depends on our agility with data, not just data ownership. Examples abound: Telstra is scaling AI across thousands of employees, UBS has put AI at the heart of its business via a Chief AI Officer, Mercedes-Benz uses digital twins and multiple agent systems to optimize production, and at Nestlé, AI is transforming everything from farm to fork. These companies aren't dabbling—they're fundamentally rethinking their models and leadership. My message is simple: the agentic frontier is not some distant theory—it's here and now. The uninsurable world is a choice, and you can choose to lead in this new paradigm. The tools and models exist, and the only question left is who has the courage to execute. As you listen and engage this year, I'll keep guiding you through these themes—helping you build, not just watch, the future unfold. BEST MOMENTS "The uninsurable world is a choice, not a certainty. While some twist their hands over these challenges, a new class of leaders is rewriting the rules of the game." "A frontier firm in the simplest terms is an organization that is human led but agent operated. This means your people set the vision and define success, while AI agents handle a significant share of the execution, working autonomously with oversight across processes." "Mastering [these levers] is the difference between watching the future happen and actively building it." "The market is sending an unequivocal message: the future of financial institutions including insurance, all regulated industry belongs to the agentic enterprise. This is not a distant vision; it is happening right now." ABOUT THE HOST Sabine VanderLinden is a corporate strategist turned entrepreneur and the CEO of Alchemy Crew Ventures.

Who shapes climate action when old systems begin to strain? And where does power really sit - with governments, financial institutions, communities, or individuals?Christiana Figueres, Tom Rivett-Carnac and Paul Dickinson explore climate leadership in a more fragmented geopolitical moment. Picking up the threads from last week's episode, they ask what happens when multilateralism is threatened - and whether smaller coalitions, subnational actors and civic movements are already stepping in to fill the gap.Because with great challenges, come new opportunities. What might we gain from faster, more focused alliances? Might Indigenous wisdom provide lessons for building fairer, greener economic models? And how can we use the resources we have to support Brazil's vision for a global mutirão?Learn More:

On today's Flyover Conservatives Show, we sat down with Mel K to examine the global power structures she believes have shaped world events since World War II. She connects international banking institutions, intelligence networks, multinational corporations, and modern organizations like the World Economic Forum into a broader narrative about sovereignty, financial control, and global governance. Mel outlines how these forces, in her view, influence geopolitics, media, education, and current political battles — and why she sees this moment as a turning point for America's future.TO WATCH ALL FLYOVER CONSERVATIVES SHOWS - https://flyover.live/show/flyoverTO WATCH ALL FLYOVER CONTENT: www.flyover.liveTo Schedule A Time To Talk To Dr. Dr. Kirk Elliott Go To ▶ https://flyovergold.comOr Call 720-605-3900 FOR ALL GRAPHICS USED OR AVAILABLE FROM MEL:► Text MEL to 40509(Message and data rates may apply.

Today's episode cuts straight through the noise to examine allegations of deep-rooted corruption in Colorado's judiciary and beyond, centered on claims raised by Christopher Gregory and lawsuits involving figures like David Beller. We explore how power operating behind closed doors has led to real consequences for people who didn't deserve it, while trust in institutions continues to erode. This isn't about hopium or headlines; it's about confronting uncomfortable questions around accountability, immunity, and who actually represents the people.Joining the show is Ann Vandersteel, bringing firsthand insight into the pressure points shaping the national conversation from the appetite (or lack thereof) for confronting corruption, to the complex web of relationships in politics, media, and influence networks. We unpack testimony, whistleblower claims, and the broader geopolitical narratives being invoked from Venezuela and Serbia to the World Economic Forum while separating verifiable facts from speculation and fear-driven rhetoric. The goal: clarity over chaos.We also take a hard look at President Trump's inner circle and the concern that some around him may be working against his stated agenda, modern-day Brutus and Judas moments that complicate leadership in a hostile environment. From national debt myths to factional splits (MAGA vs. MIGA), from broken systems to the resolve to fight rather than fold, this episode argues that the voice of the American people is the hill worth defending no matter how messy the fight gets.

At January's World Economic Forum in Davos, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney argued that the old world order is not coming back. He went on to say that we are now in an era of great power rivalry, and that middle powers, like Canada, should come together to counter the rise of great powers. So what could the new order look like, and just how much influence can middle powers wield compared to the U.S. and China? They may be smaller by GDP standards but they are not without importance geopolitically.   In this episode of Talking Geopolitics, host Christian Smith is joined by GPF Chairman George Friedman to discuss it all, to examine why the U.S. and Canada can't just decouple from one another, and what will happen to Cuba now that it has reached a tipping point in its economy and its defense.

The news is true, the dollar is collapsing. On today's show, we're going to discuss this recent breaking news, including the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files and their disturbing contents. We're also covering the concept of the Great Reset as discussed at the World Economic Forum. You're going to learn important insights into current events and geopolitics. Most importantly, you'll learn how to invest to protect yourself from the collapsing U.S. dollar.

The old world order is dying. What new world order — if any — is struggling to be born?I can't think of a week when it felt clearer that an era was coming to an end. Whatever people thought America was, at least for a couple of decades, it's something else now. The killing of Alex Pretti and the fact that it was recorded on video that plainly contradicted the Trump administration's initial narrative made that clear. Mark Carney, the prime minister of Canada, also drove home that point when he declared at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, that the world was in the midst of a “rupture.”What do people think of America now in Europe? In China? And if American hegemony is coming to an end, what comes after that?Adam Tooze is a historian at Columbia University and a chronicler of crises. The Guardian recently called him “the crisis whisperer.” He's written a number of books about the times when systems fall apart and new orders emerge, including “Crashed: How a Decade of Financial Crises Changed the World.” And on his Substack, Chartbook, he tracks the unfolding crises and power shifts, in particular the rise of China. He also had a front-row seat to the chaos of Davos last week, moderating a panel that included Howard Lutnick, the commerce secretary.I wanted to talk to Tooze about what he saw at the World Economic Forum, how the world's understanding of the U.S. is changing and how he's making sense of this moment.Mentioned:Crashed by Adam Tooze“Chartbook” Substack by Adam Tooze“The Empty Chamber” by George Packer“The growing challenges for monetary policy in the current international monetary and financial system", speech by Mark CarneyBook Recommendations:Diary of a Madman and Other Stories by Lu XunThe Southern Tour by Jonathan ChatwinContext Collapse by Ryan RubyThoughts?

Aging is not something Zoltan Istvan plans to accept quietly. He wants to treat death like a technical bug, rewrite the rules of biology, and turn California into the global test bed for radical human upgrades. From cyborg implants to AI driven longevity science, this episode explores what happens when a candidate for governor openly argues that humans should evolve beyond their biological limits and take control of how long and how well they live. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down with Zoltan Istvan, a leading transhumanist, futurist, longevity advocate, and current candidate for Governor of California. Zoltan has spoken at Parliaments and Senates around the world, appeared on The Joe Rogan Experience, consulted for the US Armed Forces, and served as a correspondent for The New York Times.

In this episode of John Solomon Reports, we focus on a pivotal hearing addressing veterans' job opportunities in the emerging technology sector, particularly in artificial intelligence. Congressman Abe Hamadeh from Arizona, a veteran himself, joins us to discuss his groundbreaking legislation, the Improving Emerging Tech Opportunities for Veterans Act. This initiative aims to connect highly skilled veterans with high-tech jobs, especially as Arizona positions itself as a hub for semiconductor manufacturing and AI innovation.Congressman Hamadeh emphasizes the importance of leveraging the unique skills and discipline of veterans to fill workforce gaps in the tech industry, particularly as foreign investments flood into the U.S. He highlights partnerships with companies like TSMC that are committed to veteran outreach and hiring. This legislation represents a significant step toward ensuring that American veterans are not only honored but also gainfully employed in the rapidly evolving tech landscape.We also delve into the recent developments surrounding President Trump's negotiations regarding Greenland and NATO. The Congressman shares insights on the strategic importance of Greenland for U.S. military operations and how these discussions could bolster national security while countering adversarial influences in the Arctic. With a focus on protecting Western civilization, Hamade reflects on the potential benefits of these agreements for both the U.S. and its allies.Next, we dive deep into President Trump's recent signing of the Charter for the Board of Peace at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. Joining us is Claire Lopez, a former CIA operations officer and national security expert, who provides valuable insights on the implications of this new charter for global order and U.S. strategy in the Arctic. Lopez discusses the enhanced U.S. control over strategic sites in Greenland and the significance of these developments in countering the assertive actions of China and Russia in the region.We also explore the broader geopolitical landscape, including the situation in Venezuela. Lopez highlights how the country has become a focal point for adversaries such as Iran and China, and how Trump's foreign policy aims to assert U.S. primacy in the Western Hemisphere. She addresses the ongoing challenges posed by the Maduro regime and the presence of foreign influence in Venezuela, emphasizing the need for a robust U.S. response.Finally, Tina Desovich, co-founder of Moms for Liberty, shares the importance of instilling true American history in our children. Tina emphasizes the importance of parents educating their children about the nation's founding principles and the real stories behind key historical figures. She warns about the potential pitfalls of historical interpretation in museums and educational settings, urging parents to engage directly with original documents to ensure their children grasp the true essence of American history.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
