Today’s discussion is with Izabella Kaminska, journalist at the FT for many years, but has now moved out into her own independent publication called The Blind Spot (www.the-blindspot.com)

Izabella and I discuss a number of topics based a lot around the current state of the media.

There are a number of key learnings and reminders for me from this conversation. Namely:

• “Truth is the first casualty of war” has never been more true than today in regards to Russia/Ukraine;
• When we look through this lens, we also see that the response to the Covid pandemic was exactly the same, i.e. just like a war;
• As much as we try to deny it, Twitter hysteria has shown it impacts both Government policy AND public mood;

And make sure to listen to the end where Izabella describes

• The major geopolitical implications we are facing over the next 20 years.

I hope you enjoy this enlightening conversation with Izabella Kaminska.
