Did we ever get the full story? In Episode 68 of the KGYT Podcast, I reflect on one of the most surreal periods in modern history—COVID-19. I share my personal experience living through the pandemic, the decision to relocate to Colombia during that time, and some of the incentives and policies that many of us still remember today. From there, I shift to today's headlines, including:

Why are so many Americans leaving the United States? For decades, the conversation has focused on people immigrating to America. But what happens when Americans become the immigrants? In this episode of KGYT, I explore a growing trend that isn't talked about nearly enough. We discuss the rising cost of achieving the American Dream, why homeownership has become increasingly difficult, how COVID may have changed the way people think about where they live, and why more Americans ar...

The tragic death of Johan Guerrero has sparked intense debate across the United States. Was he truly a danger to the public, or is there a much bigger conversation that we're avoiding? In this episode of the KGYT Podcast, I look beyond the headlines and explore one of the most important issues facing modern nations: people. Why do developed countries need immigrants? What happens when birth rates fall? How does a nation's debt affect its need for taxpayers? And why do so many people leave eve...

Colombia has entered a new political chapter with the election of a new president and vice president. In this episode, I share my personal thoughts on what this leadership change could mean for the country, the challenges ahead, and the opportunities that may emerge. This isn't a news recap—it's my perspective after following Colombian politics and considering where the country could be headed. I'd love to hear your thoughts. Do you feel optimistic about Colombia's future? Let me know in the ...

In this episode of the KGYT Podcast (#64), I dive into a shift that sounds crazy—but is quickly becoming reality. Car manufacturers are moving toward a subscription-based model, where features like push-to-start, acceleration boosts, and other “premium” capabilities may require monthly payments through apps. That’s right… owning your car might not mean what it used to. I break down what this means for everyday drivers, why companies are going in this direction, and how this could completely c...

On this episode of the KGYT Podcast, I share a more personal and unexpected experience while volunteering at my son’s school here in Colombia during their international food festival. Each class represented a different country, showcasing traditional dishes and culture from around the world. What started as a fun, community-driven event quickly turned into something deeper when I met one of the parents—originally from Lebanon—who shared their firsthand perspective on the ongoing conflict affe...

Episode 62 of the KGYT Podcast dives into some real, unfiltered thoughts that most people avoid talking about. We start with a crazy cultural contrast—how everyday people in Colombia can physically confront criminals before police step in… something that would never fly in the United States. It raises a bigger question: are societies creating their own version of justice? Then we get into the possibility of Colombia moving closer to a “PAX Americana” influence—and what that could mean for the...

In this episode of the KGYT Podcast, I break down the indirect lessons the government is teaching me through its actions in the Middle East. This isn’t just about politics — it’s about perception, standards, and the message being sent to the rest of the world and what our values are as Americans. What bar are we setting? Can the actions of those that represent us be solely for us? These are the questions I am asking myself. 🎙️ In this episode: Should we be led by example?&nb...

In this episode of the KGYT Podcast, I break down one of the most intense geopolitical conflicts unfolding right now — the war involving Iran, Israel, and the United States. We dive deep into the demands being made by all sides: Iran’s calls for reparations, recognition of its rights, and guarantees against future attacks The U.S. and Israel’s push for ending Iran’s nuclear ambitions, limiting missiles, and dismantling regional influence But beyond just listing demands, ...
