In Part 2 of the episode "Should TikTok Be Banned?" I discuss the latest change of events regarding the new RESTRICT Act and how instead of just banning TikTok, it will push through a new surveillance bill that would grant the US government sweeping new powers to ban or restrict a wide range of communications and technology products coming from, not only China but anyone the government deems a "threat." Join me in this episode where I discuss my thoughts.

This week, TikTok's CEO met with the US congress to discuss national security concerns about the Chinese-owned social media platform and its questionable data protection and algorithm practices. The Biden administration has demanded TikTok's owners divest their stakes in the popular video app or face a possible ban. Should TikTok be banned in the USA?

In today's episode, I review the critically acclaimed book "Homo Deus - A Brief History of Tomorrow" by Yuval Noah Harari, which explores the future impact of artificial intelligence on society.

The news about the global economy just seems to get bleaker by the moment. The consensus, although unclear, is that some major challenges are on the horizon. If the pandemic taught us anything, it was that it never hurts to make a plan. In today's podcast I ask the question: do you have a contingency plan for your company, business, family, organization, or community (or all of the above) should the economy take a downturn?  What steps are you taking to prepare for a permanent negative shift in the global economy that could last for decades?  I will talk about it in this episode!

This week I am reading "The End of the World is Just The Beginning" by Peter Zeihan. In his book, geopolitical strategist Peter Zeihan poses the argument that we are heading very quickly toward a period of deglobalization, with ensuing economic chaos and disaster. Both scary and factually eye-opening, the basic premise is that 2019 was the last great year for the world economy. We are coming to the end of the "good old days" of a convenient, safe, globalized financial world system and things are about to permanently change for the worse for much of the world. Definitely, a MUST read!
