  • Oil: Leverage Point of the Global Economy
    Jul 3 2025

    This episode unscrambles the hidden systems behind the world’s most powerful resource: oil.

    Not just a fuel—it is foundational to the global economy. Oil powers industries, anchors national strategies, and shapes the global balance of power. It’s both lifeblood and liability—driving growth, stoking conflict, and complicating the climate transition.

    In about 10 minutes, this episode explores how oil operates as a system of influence across geopolitics, macroeconomics, business risk, and environmental tipping points.

  • Populism vs Nationalism — Why the Difference Matters
    Jun 27 2025

    Populism and nationalism are two of the most talked-about — and misunderstood — forces in politics today. They often arrive together, cause disruption, and provoke intense debate. But they are not the same thing.

    In fact, the difference between them could determine whether democracies fracture or find their footing in a more turbulent world.

    This episode unscrambles these two political currents: where they come from, how they operate, and why one threatens liberal democratic values more than the other. It’s not just about rhetoric or identity — it’s also about power, the rules of the game, and who gets to write them.

    Most importantly, discover five tangible ways to move from digital drift to digital drive — with practical steps for leaders, advisers, and changemakers.
