| Intelligence expert Karim Hijazi says the online threats to our national security go well beyond TikTok. They are vast, largely invisible, and ever-present—and AI is only amplifying this. Karim is the founder/CEO of cybersecurity firm Vigilocity, and we connected through Renè Aninao, the managing partner of CORBŪ. Karim and I discuss how cyberspace has become the primary medium for spycraft and warfare among advanced nations. He says we are in a “new Cold War” that is “even more cold than it was before because it's under the surface in a fairly murky and nebulous and cryptic world that most people just don't understand.” And he backs that up with a stream of concrete examples. You will also hear how cyberattacks produce kinetic damage, why your personal laptop might be a bigger target than you’d think, and where Karim sees investment opportunities developing in the cybersecurity space.

The prevailing narrative around oil is that a global supply glut and weakening demand from China will continue to keep oil prices down.
The reality is that oil isn’t going away anytime soon.
Josh Young, the founder and CIO at energy investment firm Bison Interests takes us on a world tour of oil-producing nations, explaining why there is “a lot less spare capacity than people think.” That includes capacity from Guyana, which some have called “the next Saudi Arabia.” He also believes the China demand story is overstated.
