K-pop to dziś coś znacznie więcej niż muzyka. To globalne zjawisko kulturowe, które stało się jednym z najskuteczniejszych narzędzi promocji Korei Południowej na świecie. Jak narodził się ten fenomen? Czy wszystko zaczęło się od „Gangnam Style”? Jaką rolę w sukcesie K-popu odegrał rząd Korei Południowej, a jaką prywatne agencje iartyści? W tym odcinku rozmawiamy z prof. Marcinem Jacoby, kierownikiem Zakładu Studiów Azjatyckich na Uniwersytecie SWPS, o tym, jak koreańska popkultura – od K-popu, przez seriale bijące rekordy ,po modę i styl życia – podbiła globalną wyobraźnię. Nie zapominamy też o ciemniejszej stronie sukcesu: ogromnej presji społecznej,wysokich oczekiwaniach fanów, granicach prywatności gwiazd i momentach, w których idol może stracić poparcie niemal z dnia na dzień.

On this episode: Lucy Lopez, Elizabeth Newcamp, and Zak Rosen have been trying to stay on top of the news…but they're getting bogged down and worried about it impacting their kids.

So, they all sit down to talk about how much to share with the kids, how to stay informed but still show up for the kids, ways to moderate your own anxiety, and so much more.  But first, they share their latest triumphs and fails. Mary comes in with a win during the college admission process; Lucy almost crashes a birthday party (but she DOESN'T…so it's a win); Zak takes his daughter to roller derby; and Elizabeth says yes to a choral concert.  Podcast production by Cheyna Roth.

In this episode of Altered State, Brad Zerbo and Zak Paine react live to President Trump's “My Fellow Americans” address, breaking down the administration's claimed wins on the border, the economy, energy, tariffs, and national security. The conversation moves into job growth, wage increases, falling prices, prescription drug reform, and the return of manufacturing and blue collar work to American citizens. Brad and Zak also dig into election integrity, voter participation, and why disengagement only benefits corrupt systems, using real world examples of voter roll abuse, clerical fraud, and DOJ actions to clean up registrations nationwide. The episode weaves personal stories, historical parallels, and current events into a broader discussion about civic responsibility, optimism versus cynicism, and maintaining momentum during a critical period of national rebuilding.

For Dr. Zak Kohane, this year's advances in AI weren't abstract. They were personal, practical, and deeply tied to care. After decades studying clinical data and diagnostic uncertainty, he finds himself building his own EHR, reviewing his child's imaging with AI, and re-thinking the balance between incidental and missed findings. Across each story is the same insight: clinicians and machines make mistakes for different reasons — and understanding those differences is essential for safe deployment. In this episode, Zak also highlights where AI is spreading fastest, and why: reimbursement. While dermatology and radiology aren't broadly using AI for interpretation, revenue-cycle optimization is advancing rapidly. Meanwhile, ambient documentation has exploded — not because it increases accuracy or throughput, but because it improves clinician satisfaction in strained systems. Yet the most profound theme, he argues, is values. Models already show implicit preferences: some conservative, some aggressive. And unlike human clinicians, no regulatory framework examines how those preferences form. Zak calls for a new form of oversight that centers patients, recognizes bias, and bridges clinical expertise with technical transparency. Transcript.

Episode DescriptionWe talk about what the podcast has actually taught us, integration over information, vulnerability, removing masks, and becoming the role model for your family. We explore authenticity in an AI-driven world, intuition vs outsourcing answers, and why health is never the destination, it's the foundation that allows you to actually live.

Putin grozi „wyzwoleniem historycznych ziem” Rosji siłą. Dr Rafał Brzeski ostrzega w Radiu Wnet: to zapowiedź wojny z Europą i początek czarnego scenariusza dla Polski.Dr Rafał Brzeski zwraca uwagę na słowa Władimira Putina, które w jego ocenie są jedną z najgroźniejszych deklaracji rosyjskiego przywódcy w ostatnich latach.Wolelibyśmy wyeliminować podstawowe przyczyny konfliktu za pomocą dyplomacji. Jeśli strona przeciwna – Ukraina i jej zagraniczni patroni – zasadniczo odmówią rozmów, Rosja osiągnie wyzwolenie swoich historycznych ziem za pomocą środków militarnych.– przywołuje słowa Putina dr Rafał Brzeski.Jak podkreśla, kluczowe jest pytanie: gdzie według Moskwy kończą się „historyczne ziemie Rosji”.Trzeba by po tych słowach się zastanowić i dojść, co Rosja uważa za wyzwolenie swoich historycznych ziem. To znaczy – gdzie się kończą historyczne ziemie Rosji? Bo tym ziemiom grozi wyzwolenie za pomocą środków militarnych.– zauważa.W jego ocenie przekaz Kremla sprowadza się do prostego komunikatu: jeśli Zachód i Ukraina nie zgodzą się na rosyjskie warunki „po dobroci”, Rosja będzie dochodzić swoich celów siłą. To zaś oznacza realne ryzyko rozszerzenia wojny.Grozi nam wszystkim wojna z Rosją. Tylko kwestia tego, jak daleko Rosja chce się posunąć.– ostrzega.Czarne scenariusze: deal ponad głową PolskiBrzeski rozwija czarny scenariusz rozstrzygnięcia konfliktu rosyjsko-ukraińskiego „za plecami Warszawy”. Zakłada on jednoczesne przesunięcia terytorialne na wschodzie i zachodzie.Nie wykluczam scenariusza, że dojdzie do transakcji wymiennej za plecami Warszawy. Ukraińskie terytoria zostaną zajęte przez Rosję, te, do których Rosja rości pretensje, natomiast Ukraina w ramach rekompensaty otrzyma nasze wschodnie ziemie, do których też rości pretensje – i to nie dwuznacznie.– mówi.W takim wariancie – dopowiada – Rosja mogłaby ogłosić zwycięstwo i „odzyskanie historycznych ziem”, Kijów pokazać bilans „coś straciliśmy, coś zyskaliśmy”, a Berlin wykorzystać okazję, by podważyć powojenny porządek graniczny.Berlin będzie mógł głosić, że takie porozumienie pokojowe przekreśla jałtańsko-poczdamski porządek graniczny. A skoro on przestaje obowiązywać, to Polska musi się pogodzić z utratą swoich ziem zachodnich, tak zwanych ziem odzyskanych, które Niemcy uważają za swoje terytoria pod tymczasową administracją polską.– zwraca uwagę.W efekcie – jak mówi – Polska mogłaby zostać okrojona z obu stron.Jak ze wschodu stracimy terytoria i z zachodu stracimy terytoria, to być może wykroi się jakieś Księstwo Warszawskie, Generalna Gubernia, z jakimiś szczątkowymi elementami suwerenności. A może i tego nie będzie.– podkreśla.Przypomina przy tym, że przez 123 lata państwa polskiego w ogóle nie było na mapie Europy – i „wielkim to nie przeszkadzało”.Rosyjsko-niemiecki duumwirat i Polska jako barykadaBrzeski postrzega obecną sytuację w Europie przez pryzmat koncepcji rosyjsko-niemieckiego duumwiratu: wspólnego zarządzania przestrzenią „od Władywostoku po Lizbonę”.Całość stosunków europejskich należy oceniać przez pryzmat tej koncepcji rosyjsko-niemieckiego duumwiratu i rządów nad przestrzenią od Władywostoku po Lizbonę. Polska jest barykadą dzielącą Niemcy od Rosji – i rządzący w Berlinie oraz w Moskwie mogą dochodzić do wniosku, że tę barykadę należy usunąć.– argumentuje.W tym kontekście ocenia m.in.:blokowanie lub opóźnianie inwestycji infrastrukturalnych na osi północ–południe (jak Via Carpatia),obecność wojsk niemieckich w rejonie przesmyku suwalskiego,oraz szereg innych ruchów politycznych i gospodarczych wpływających na położenie Polski.Od Via Carpatia, która jest szosą rokadową na wschodniej flance, po obecność wojsk niemieckich w rejonie przesmyku suwalskiego – to wszystko trzeba widzieć przez pryzmat bezpieczeństwa. Moim zdaniem to bardzo niebezpieczne, bo może dojść do „otwarcia frontu” dla wojsk rosyjskich.– ocenia.Co powstrzymuje najczarniejszy wariant?Według Brzeskiego kluczową blokadą dla scenariusza rozbioru lub drastycznego okrojenia Polski jest obecność USA w Europie.Wycofanie się Amerykanów z Europy oznaczałoby wyrzucenie do kosza ponad stu lat ich strategii. Od pierwszej wojny światowej Stany Zjednoczone kolejno ratowały Europę, a po drugiej wojnie już się z niej nie wycofały. Trudno mi sobie wyobrazić, żeby teraz dobrowolnie zrezygnowały z takiego zasobu.– mówi.Przypomina, że logika strategiczna USA – także w najnowszych dokumentach – opiera się na założeniu, że bez Europy nie da się skutecznie rywalizować ani z Chinami, ani z Rosją. Polska zaś jest elementem wschodniej „barykady” od Bałtyku po Morze Czarne.Z punktu widzenia Moskwy i Berlina logiczne byłoby zburzenie tej barykady. Z punktu widzenia Ameryki – jej wzmocnienie. I w tym napięciu żyjemy.– podsumowuje.

Jon Herold and Zak Paine continue their deep examination of MKUltra, recovered memories, and the systems built to discredit survivors of extreme abuse. This episode centers on the creation and purpose of the False Memory Syndrome Foundation, breaking down how psychology, academia, and media were used to cast doubt on childhood trauma testimony. Jon and Zak walk through documented cases, survivor accounts, and historical context to explain trauma bonding, memory suppression, and the role of institutions in protecting perpetrators. They connect these patterns to modern information warfare, showing how authority and consensus are used to shape belief and dismiss uncomfortable truths. Episode 163 provides critical context for understanding how reality can be engineered, and why certain stories are labeled “baseless” before they're ever examined.

CannCon and Zak Paine open the week by examining a series of violent incidents and breaking stories that appear disconnected on the surface but reveal deeper narrative manipulation when viewed together. They walk through the attack at Brown University and the Bondi Beach stabbing in Australia, questioning media framing, missing details, and the speed with which political conclusions were pushed. The conversation expands into Ukraine, NATO escalation rhetoric, and Trump's recent statements as Western alliances show signs of strain. CannCon and Zak also break down troubling judicial rulings on immigration-related crimes, DOJ actions tied to election integrity cases, congressional corruption, and the financial machinery surrounding student loans and earmarks. Throughout the episode, the hosts emphasize discernment, timing, and motive, arguing that the “fog of war” now extends beyond battlefields into media, law, and public perception.

Zak Paine and Jordan Sather team up for a packed episode of Altered State, diving deep into the MAHA movement's rapid-fire victories and the growing panic inside the medical-industrial complex. They break down the online drama swirling around influencers, then shift into the real action: RFK Jr.'s sweeping reforms at HHS, the FDA's stunning admission that COVID vaccines killed children, the retraction of a Monsanto-backed glyphosate study, and USDA moves toward regenerative farming. Jordan outlines how vaccine policy, food safety, and regulatory capture are being dismantled piece by piece, while Zak highlights the political backlash, including impeachment attempts against RFK Jr. and Pete Hegseth. The duo also take on the “double-tap” narco-boat psyop, Ilhan Omar's alleged immigration fraud, and the brewing collapse of blue-state systems from welfare fraud to housing markets. Blending humor, policy insight, and sharp commentary, Zak and Jordan expose how small wins ripple into seismic shifts, and why the establishment is suddenly very afraid.

Not because he feels the magic of the season, but because his new neighbors have gone over the top with theirs, and he's embarrassed that his display is embarrassing. His wife, Amber, says he spent $2200 so far this year, and she's upset about it. Forget about “keeping up with the Jonses”, they just don't have the money for this kind of thing, especially since they need to buy Christmas presents.

Zak Paine and Adel Nero return after a month away with a rapid-fire deep dive into one of the busiest news cycles in recent memory. They unpack the massive Somali-linked fraud networks exposed in Minnesota, spanning EBT, Medicaid, Medicare, welfare programs, and dirty voter rolls, and explore how the corruption implicates state leadership while triggering nationwide audits that could reshape the entire system. The conversation widens into immigration reform, H1B visa abuse, and the administration's sweeping moves to shut down welfare-based migration. Zak and Adel then break down Trump's viral “retarded” tweet aimed at Tim Walz, the left's meltdown, and the larger narrative war erupting around it. From there, they dig into the long-delayed arrest of the January 6 pipe-bomb suspect, analyzing why the Biden DOJ sat on key evidence for years and what the new investigation signals. The episode closes with sharp commentary on AI, economic disruption, MTG's fallout with Trump, rogue judges undermining policy, and the growing collapse of deep-state funding pipelines, from drug ratlines to NGO grifts.

Brad Zerbo and Zak Paine deliver a wild, unfiltered episode that jumps from mic mishaps and birthday celebrations to one of Trump's most hard-hitting immigration monologues yet, sparking a fiery discussion about Somali communities, assimilation, and political manipulation in Minnesota. They dig into the massive Feeding Our Future fraud scandal and challenge the roles of Tim Walz, Keith Ellison, and Ilhan Omar in enabling or ignoring a $240 million grift. From there, the hosts break down the political spin around the U.S. blowing up narco-boats in the Caribbean, calling out lawmakers who defend traffickers while Americans die from cartel-driven drug pipelines. Brad and Zak weave in history, corruption, federal failures, and their own lived experiences as they compare past immigrant communities, examine Antifa contradictions, and react to the escalating fight over border security and national identity, all with their signature humor, tangents, and real-talk energy.

In this chilling episode, Jon Herold and Zak Paine take viewers deep into one of the darkest corners of global corruption as they continue their exploration into elite human-hunting networks and international organ-trafficking operations. Picking up where last week left off, Jon and Zak break down the disturbing disappearance of model Ryan Singleton and the haunting evidence suggesting his organs were harvested in the California desert. Their investigation stretches across continents, from Peru's online-dating organ-trafficking murder to Syrian black-market networks, to allegations involving Israeli pathologists, and even European aristocrats evading exposure. The hosts then push further into testimony from whistleblowers like Kathy O'Brien and Fiona Barnett, whose firsthand accounts place high-ranking political, royal, and religious figures inside hidden hunting lodges, ritual-abuse networks, and MK-Ultra programming systems. The episode also revisits Q-posts pointing to the Rothschilds' Black Forest estate sale and its potential connection to these networks. Tense, unfiltered, and relentlessly probing, Jon and Zak deliver a shocking look at power, secrecy, and the lengths elites may go to remain untouchable.

“I think you have to have a big ego in business and in sports but I use mine to want to protect myself from failure. Ego makes me not want to fail, it's a motivator, my ego doesn't want me to be laughed at or labeled a failure.” Zak Brown CEO of McLaren Racing The 2025 F1 season is winding down with three races left to go and McLaren has already won its 2nd Consecutive Constructors' Championship with the chance for their drivers to finish 1st and 2nd. At the helm of all this success is CEO Zak Brown, a high school dropout from California that pursued his passion for motor sports and turned around McLaren Racing.  On this episode of The Pivot Podcast, hosts Ryan Clark, Fred Taylor, and Channing Crowder sit down with  Zak Brown for an unfiltered conversation on leadership, risk-taking, and the relentless pursuit of speed—both on and off the track. Zak pulls back the curtain on what it really takes to transform one of the most iconic organizations in motorsport, from rebuilding McLaren's Formula 1 program to cultivating a culture where innovation thrives, no blame is placed and a team first mantra. He talks candidly about navigating high-pressure decisions, the realities of competing at the sport's highest level, and how he balances business strategy with his pure passion for racing. The conversation amps up as Zak talks about Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri's fierce but healthy internal rivalry, explaining how their push to beat each other is exactly what drives the team closer to the front of the grid. With only a few races left, McLaren is eyeing a 1st, 2nd finish for the 2025 season, hoping to prove doubters wrong with a drama-free relationship between his two drivers that sit atop the sport- a no favoritism, no fighting approach. From the dynamics inside the garage to the strategic vision for the future, Zak gives rare insight into what it takes to manage two hungry, elite-level drivers chasing the same trophy. Zak dives into the inspiration behind his new book, sharing the lessons, setbacks, and bold decisions that shaped his journey from young racing enthusiast to the executive steering one of motorsport's most iconic teams. He reveals the mindset shifts that fueled McLaren's resurgence and why embracing risk is often the only real path forward. From bold driver signings to the future of electric racing and what winning means in today's F1 landscape, this episode offers a rare look at the mindset of a global sports executive who isn't afraid to bet big. Whether you're a Formula 1 fanatic, a business leader, or someone inspired by reinvention, Zak Brown's journey shows exactly what it means to pivot with conviction. Pivot Family, don't forget too comment, like and hit subscribe! A special thanks to our partners at Jack Daniels for sponsoring this conversation and inviting us to be apart of their F1 partnership with McLaren, Las Vegas has been exciting and we wish the best of luck to Lando and Oscar down the finish!
