  • The 80/20 Rule
    Jul 25 2025

    Why do a few things — or people — seem to shape everything else?

    This episode is about the 80/20 rule, also known as the Pareto Principle. It’s more than a productivity tip — it’s a powerful lens for understanding imbalance, leverage, and transformation across systems.

    From politics and business to digital platforms and global power, small actors often have outsized influence. But how reliable is this rule? And what happens when we mistake concentration for stability?

  • The Cycle of History
    Jul 10 2025

    This episode discusses a big-picture idea with practical relevance: history doesn’t just move forward — it moves in cycles.

    Civilisations rise, stabilise, fragment, and regenerate. The same rhythm shows up in markets, technologies, institutions, and yes, even careers.

    If you’ve felt like the ground is shifting — in your industry, society, or personal path — this episode will help you make better sense of it, and show you where to look for the next wave.

    We don’t need to predict the future. We just need to move in sync with the cycle.

  • 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.
