The authors, all the way back in the 1997, wrote something so simple yet so profound:

"It's time to trust our instincts. Think seasonally and prepare. Forewarned is forearmed."

It's indeed time to 'Think seasonally and prepare'.

Happy Easter. Tonight I'm talking about the "center of gravity," what it is, why it's significant, and how we can use it to increase our level of preparedness.

Here's a quick takeaway:

Timely and accurate information (i.e., Intelligence) results in better and faster decisions.

On this episode, I talk about the importance of situational awareness, early warning, and threat intelligence. These are things that we develop or create. Intelligence doesn't produce itself. It requires input. I welcome you into the world of SHTF Intelligence and remind you that you are an intelligence collector.

On this episode, I point out an example of how information is weaponized. I ask, in an SHTF situation, how do we find information and how can we look at it like a puzzle piece? Further, let's keep in mind that while it could fit into our puzzle, it could also fit into someone else's.

    Ruthie's Table 4

    For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
