10:03  Jim Lechner: Forever Wars and the Cost of the Fight

Special Operations veteran, war correspondent, and author of With My Shield.

• His book With My Shield pulls no punches on the human and strategic cost of forever wars. In this Everything, Everywhere, All at Once 5GW moment, how should we be assessing these conflicts as the global status quo breaks down?

10:33  Mike Ariza: California’s Energy Crisis on the Ground

Former Valero Refinery General Manager and deep operational expert on California’s energy infrastructure.

• California’s energy crisis is a textbook case of the global status quo breaking down right here at home. What is really happening on the ground with refineries, policy, and supply, and how does it tie into the bigger picture? This seems like intentional destruction.
• What practical fixes could turn this self inflicted mess around before it spreads?

11:33  Mike Sarraille: Putting the 5GW Pieces Together

Former Navy SEAL, tech executive, and sharp analyst on geopolitics and 5GW dynamics.

• He has seen the fight from the battlefield to the boardroom. As the global status quo breaks down and we wrap a full week of these conversations, how do all the pieces, geopolitics, energy, politics, forever wars, fit together in this Everything, Everywhere, All at Once 5GW war?
• What comes next, and how do we make sure the sovereigntist side comes out on top? Listener questions welcome.
