Speaker 1 (00:00):
Thanks for joining the Fortune Factor podcast.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
Geopolitical fragmentation as it's unfolding in twenty twenty five. This
isn't just a buzzword. It's a seismic shift in how power, trade,
and influence are distributed across the globe.

Speaker 1 (00:14):
What is geopolitical fragmentation?

Speaker 2 (00:17):
It refers to the breakdown of global cooperation and the
rise of competing blocks, fractured alliances, and nationalistic policies. Instead
of a unified global system, we're seeing a patchwork of rivalries, protectionism,
and strategic decoupling.

Speaker 1 (00:32):
Fire key drivers in twenty twenty five.

Speaker 2 (00:36):
Trade tensions and economic blocks. The US, China, and EU
are increasingly forming exclusive trade zones, imposing tariffs, and weaponizing
supply chains. The OECD reports that these tensions are slowing
global growth and triggering inflation.

Speaker 1 (00:52):
Energy security versus climate goals. Countries are prioritizing energy and
dependence over global decarbonization, reshaping clean energy trajectories.

Speaker 2 (01:03):
Cyber warfare and supply chain sabotage. State aligned actors are
targeting digital infrastructure, turning supply chains into strategic vulnerabilities.

Speaker 1 (01:12):
Political misalignment, and trade collapse. A study found that deteriorating
political relations can reduce bilateral trade by nearly twenty percent,
even without tariff changes.

Speaker 3 (01:24):
Why it matters for activists and storytellers. Narrative power fragmentation
creates fertile ground for conspiracy theories, misinformation, and stage war narratives.

Speaker 1 (01:35):
Audience impact. Communities caught between blocks face economic instability, cultural erasure,
and medium manipulation.

Speaker 2 (01:43):
Campaign strategy Activist messaging must now navigate multipolar realities where
truth is contested and alliances shift rapidly

Cardiac Cowboys

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
