In this impactful clip from Market Mondays, we dive deep into the economic, geopolitical, and humanitarian complexities surrounding the Democratic Republic of Congo—a country rich in valuable minerals but plagued by exploitation and violence. Guest Chaka Zulu shares his firsthand insights on how Congo's vast mineral wealth, including resources critical for modern technology like smartphones and electric vehicle batteries, has made it the target of resource-driven conflicts. Chaka sheds light on the historical and ongoing consequences of global powers’ pursuit of Congo’s resources—spanning back to its invasion in 1998, which led to the death of 6 million people, to recent exploitation facilitated by geopolitics. He discusses how countries, like Rwanda, play a role in exporting resources they do not naturally possess by occupying Congolese mines, further destabilizing the region. Chaka explains the tragic human toll of this exploitation, including stories of villages destroyed and families devastated, as well as the inadequate global attention to these atrocities. The discussion also touches on Africa’s fractured political and economic systems, emphasizing the need for unity akin to the United States of Africa to ensure equitable trade and governance. Chaka Zulu's dedication doesn’t stop with his analysis—he also shares stories of his humanitarian efforts to bring positive change, from championing education to actively supporting survivors of violence. This clip offers a harrowing yet compelling perspective on the fight for Congo's resources, the role of international powers, and the staggering contrast between the nation's natural wealth and its economic and humanitarian struggles. Stay tuned to gain insight into one of the world's most pressing and complex issues. *Hashtags:* #MarketMondays #CongoCrisis #AfricanEconomics #ChakaZulu #Geopolitics #MineralWealth #ElectricVehicles #GlobalTrade #HumanitarianEfforts #ResourceExploitation #TechIndustryImpactOur Sponsors:* Check out PNC Bank: https://www.pnc.com* Check out Square: https://square.com/go/eylAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacySee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Meet Shaolin Master Shi Heng Yi in his serene talk about self-discovery. Learn why rainfall is an essential part of each flowering. And every small step – part of the journey to the highest peek. The hindrances along the way to self-discovery and personal growth are easy to overcome. Learn how from his talk. For more than 30 years, Master Shi Heng Yi has been studying and practicing the interaction between mind and body. His strength is the ability to smoothly combine this knowledge with physical exercises and to practice Martial art –Kung Fu and Qi Gong. He has an academic background but he prefers to live at the Shaolin Temple Europe, Monastery located in Otterberg, Germany. Since 2010 he has been taking care of the settlement and he personifies the sustainable development and spreading the Shaolin culture and philosophy. As a contemporary monk, Master Yi holds a smartphone in the folds of his clothes as he sees no contradiction between living together with ancient knowledge and high technology. “The universal law of being successful and happy at the same time means finding the balance”, says master Yi. And as for flying – yes, he really can do it! He only needs a stick and a little space. We expect him to fly-in and share about the Shaolin way at TEDxVitosha 2020.

We often hear that air travel is worse than it's ever been. Gone are the days when airplanes touted piano bars and meat carving stations — or even free meals. Instead we're crammed into tiny seats and fighting for overhead space. How did we get here? Most of the inconveniences we think about when we fly can be traced back to the period of time just after the federal government deregulated the airlines. When commercial air travel took off in the 1940s, the government regulated how many national airlines were allowed to exist, where they were allowed to fly, and how much they could charge for tickets. But the Airline Deregulation Act of 1978 swept all these restrictions aside – and stopped providing subsidies for the air carriers. Airlines had to compete on ticket prices. That competition led to a more bare-bones flying experience, but it also made air travel a lot more affordable. In this episode, we trace the evolution of air travel over the past century to discover whether flying really is worse today — or if it's actually better than ever. We'll board a plane from the "golden age" of air travel, hear the history of one of the original budget airlines and meet feuding airline CEOs. Along the way, we'll see how economic forces have shaped the airline industry into what it is today, and what role we, as consumers, have played.
