Check out host Bidemi Ologunde's new show: The Work Ethic Podcast, available on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.

In this episode, host Bidemi Ologunde connects four "seismic shifts" from the first week of 2026: Bulgaria adopting the euro, India's nationwide AI upskilling push, a shocking U.S. raid that captured Venezuela's president, and a deadly earthquake in Mexico. What do these seemingly unrelated events reveal about risk, resilience, and power in a world that changes overnight? What's one practical move you can make this week to stay adaptable?
