A Brief Update on the Latest in Ukraine and the Investment Environment

Did something a little bit different for this one. I was the one interviewed this time. Thanks to Scott Jacobson for joining the show and asking the questions. Covered alot in this episode to give an update on where things are at with the economy, investment environment, attacks on energy infrastructure, and what's going on in Russia. Feel like we just came out of winter and now looking ahead to the next one - what will it be like for Ukraine? And what about what's happening in Russia? Also touched a bit upon the latest regarding the firing of the Minister of Defense Fedorov... Enjoy!

Hope for Ukraine's Future: Speaking with 16 Year-Old Nikol Makhovka

In this episode, I was happy to host by far the youngest guest I've had on my show. This episode is about Ukraine’s future. Not what’s happening today in the war, or the war outlook, or looking at historical drivers and context of the situation here as most of my shows do, but instead looking ahead. As we all know, Ukraine has a severe demographic problem, only worsened by the war, leaving its future precarious. For that reason, I spoke with Nikol Makhovka, who is 16 years old, a representative of Ukraine at the Genius Olympiad in the US, and currently residing in the UK, to talk about her vision and her feelings regarding Ukraine’s future. Nikol is among the ‘best and brightest’ of her generation and her thoughts give an idea of what lies ahead for this country after the war. And gives us reason to be hopeful for Ukraine's future. About the Guest:Nikol is a 16-year old student currently residing in the UK, where she fled to after the full-scale invasion, and is attending school there. She also periodically comes back home to Ukraine and plans to return to Ukraine after her studies and rebuild her country.

The Story of Ukraine's Foreign Legion - a modern day Homage to Catalonia

If you want a fascinating look into the stories of why those in the West gave up their lives and came to Ukraine to fight, then have a listen to this episode. I had the pleasure of speaking with the British journalist Colin Freeman who did extensive interviews, trips, and research into the stories of foreign fighters who joined Ukraine's foreign legion. Who are these guys? Why did they join? What do the American fighters think about Trump's policy towards Ukraine? About the Guest Colin Freeman is a former chief foreign correspondent of The Sunday Telegraph, now a freelance foreign affairs journalist. He writes features, comment and book reviews for The Daily Telegraph, as well as for The Spectator, The Economist, and The National in Abu Dhabi. He contributes regularly to BBC Radio Four.

Russia is Losing at the Front: Ukraine Takes Back the Technological Edge

I for one became super encouraged for Ukraine after doing this interview. The last few months, and specifically the past few weeks, things have taken a turn for Ukraine on the battlefield. Ukraine has taken back more land than Russia has gained lately. Ukraine is eliminating more men than Russia can recruit. Ukraine has taken back the technological edge. And Ukraine is now winning. Tune in to this one for some optimism regarding Ukraine's fight on the battlefield. I had the pleasure to have back on the show my friend and great war correspondent, Giorgio Provinciali, who has see it all across the entire front the last 4 years. We talked about the fight underground, above ground, in the air, middle range, and long range for a comprehensive picture of what has developed at the front and why we should expect good things ahead for Ukraine. About the Guest: Giorgio Provinciali, War Correspondent, Writes from the trenches of democracy in Ukraine. Engineer, journalist, war reporter. Medium writer since November 2023.

They Save Lives at the Front - But Who Saves Them? The Story of the NGO RePower and its Founders

It was an absolute pleasure to do this podcast - the first one I have done live, in person at my guests' office in the center of Kyiv. (Hence some of the side comments and background noise!) I had the honor of speaking with the Co-Founders of RePower NGO, Sebastian Lindstrom and Maryna Sadikova - such inspired and inspirational people who you can't help but feel the warmth, drive, and energy flowing from them. And they're doing awesome work. This episode follows upon my podcast in June with the press officer of the 37th Marine Brigade regarding The Lanterns, a documentary they filmed with United24 covering their program of providing psychological rehabilitation for frontline medics and doctors in the forests of Sweden. Listen in for more details on Sebastian and Maryna's personal journey, their motivation for serving the frontline medics, most emotionally compelling experience in supporting the medics, and what they want Westerners to take away from watching the documentary. To watch The Lanterns, check the link here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9JHK6RMhK1I To see the before and after rehabilitation of the frontline medics, check out "Through Their Eyes" here - https://www.repower.ngo/projects/through-their-eyes And here is RePower's work on IG and LI (please share and follow!)https://www.instagram.com/p/DZP_PLCDDXJ/ https://www.linkedin.com/posts/repowerngo_is-it-truly-possible-to-leave-the-war-behind-activity-7469762440860237825-GU8e To connect and message with Mark on LinkedIn:www.linkedin.com/in/mark-mcnamee-58950910 To learn more, visit:https://ubn.network/ Listen to more episodes on Mission Matters:https://missionmatters.com/author/Mark-McNamee/ If you found this episode valuable, follow the podcast and share it with someone who wants to better understand the war in Ukraine.

US Army Veteran Finds Purpose and Meaning in Ukraine

I had the pleasure of interviewing Ryan Hendrickson, a former US Army Green Beret who spent years in Afghanistan, lost a leg, and has now devoted the last several years of his life to helping Ukraine. As so many veterans struggle with life after service, Ryan found meaning and purpose again in Ukraine. Devoting his life to helping others who are struggling and protecting those from being harmed has been therapeutic, and serves as a critical lesson for veterans back in the US and elsewhere but also the Ukrainian veterans now and in the future. Please consider supporting Ryan's work, and find out more information about Tip of the Spear, at: https://landmineremoval.org/ To connect and message with Mark on LinkedIn:www.linkedin.com/in/mark-mcnamee-58950910 To learn more, visit:https://ubn.network/ Listen to more episodes on Mission Matters:https://missionmatters.com/author/Mark-McNamee/ If you found this episode valuable, follow the podcast and share it with someone who wants to better understand the war in Ukraine.

WSET 2, White Wines

WSET – The Wine & Spirit Education Trust. Every year there are new crops of grapes and new wines to discover and enjoy. Each vintage is different but there are certain things that remain true, and this means that grape varieties and the wines made from them are recognizable from one year to the next. The WSET Level 2 Award in Wines focuses on these constants. How are grapes grown? How is wine made? How do sparkling wines get their bubbles? Above all else, though, this qualification looks at grape varieties and what they contribute to individual wines that are found throughout the world. With that said, the focus of Level 2 are Grape Varieties and Still Wines. Today, I will share with you the White Wines we have studied as Part 1 to the WSET series of 3 podcasts. Part 2 covers red wines and part 3 covers other wines – sparkling and fortified. Now, let’s talk about the White Wines; Riesling, Chenin Blanc, Semillion, Furmint, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Grigio/Gris, Gewurztraminer, Viognier and Albarino.
