I am so glad you could join us. I'm your host Mo Gaudette. This podcast is nothing more than a conversation between two good friends sharing inspiring life stories and perhaps

some nuggets of wisdom along the way.

This is your invitation to slow down with us.

Welcome to slow mob. Today I start a new miniseries with you that is actually driven from a very personal side of looking at the world. For years and years I

assumed that I understood what was happening in the world. I believed in

scripts and stories that were told to me whether through my

upbringing in the East or during my education and career in the West and they were all lies.

And I think more and more, the events of 2023 and 2024

have opened my eyes that perhaps one of the biggest responsibilities I have

is to understand the world more, not as I am supposed or told to understand it, but as it really is.

I'm starting this miniseries, which I will call,

it's not what they told you. To give you an overview of the reality of some of the

learnings that I found about the economy, capitalism, the geopolitics of our the

politics of our world and the reality of the hunger for power and for wealth.

As always I'm not going to be negative in any of that. I'm not going to even take a view.

I will just curiously try to understand from our guests what it is that they know that is not available in the mainstream media.

When I'm done with this miniseries I will take a bit of a vacation from slow-mo.

I think it's very clear for me that even though this has been an incredible journey for me,

that perhaps there are other things that need my attention.

I'll talk to you a little bit about that when the time comes. But for now, let's dive in and think

about the reality of our world in this new idea, new concept that I would like you to become curious about.

It's not what they told you.
