The Sh*t Show: control or collaboration, extraction or regeneration

Send us Fan MailWe have an exciting show lined up, where we will go big picture on how we can cut through information overload, understand the "Great Convergence", identify the "350-year empire cycle" currently playing out, connect the dots between seemingly unrelated global events, identify the "hubris syndrome" in real-time, decode AI-driven influence campaigns that shape public opinion and distract from deeper systemic shifts, understand how to develop "future-ready" decision-making skills, and understand a global currency reset and what it means for your privacy, wealth, and economic future. A BIG topic, but that is the nature of the polycrisis – and it needs to be understood by interlinking all the challenges and interpreting what that bigger story means to all of us. We will of course discuss the latest news that matters, from the LA riots, to the Madleen, why US RFK Jr removing all 17 members of a committee that issues official government recommendations on immunisations matters to all of us, the World Banks latest report, and more. To help us discuss all of this, we are delighted to welcome Michael Haupt as our very special guest, the creator of NEXUS 2030. He is an independent, cross-disciplinary systems researcher and Strategic Foresight Practitioner known for connecting the dots between global finance (like CBDCs and private stable coins), policy shifts (like the Pandemic Agreement, Climate Goals, Mar-a-Lago Accord), and emerging technologies (like AI, sixth generation warfare). Michael has more than four decades of experience analysing complex systems, and he has a passion to help you see the bigger picture, so that you can make sense of accelerating complexity and make better decisions.You can sign up to Michael’s NEXUS 2030 course https://2030.michaelhaupt.com/class.

Join us Friday 13th June 2025, 8am UK, 9am EU, 2pm TH, 3pm SG, 5pm AEST. Streaming in various locations. The Sh*t Show is a Livestream happening every Friday, where Andrea T Edwards, Dr. David Ko, Richard Busellato and Joe Augustin, as well as special guests, discuss the world’s most pressing issues across all angles of the polycrisis, working to make sense of the extremely challenging and complex times we are all going through, plus what we can do about it. Help us move the needle so we can change the name of the show to something more genteel when (or if) it is no longer a sh*t show. #TheShitShow #UncommonCourageYou can find me Andrea T Edwards | The Digital Conversationalist and Welcome - Uncommon Courage - An Invitation. My book Uncommon Courage, an invitation, is here https://mybook.to/UncommonCourage My book 18 Steps to an All-Star LinkedIn Profile, is here https://mybook.to/18stepstoanallstar
