In this episode, Julia talks with Heath Sloane, Director of Geopolitical Intelligence at B&K Agency.

Originally from Australia, Heath shares how his academic and professional journey has taken him across continents, from studying in China to living and working in places like London and Israel, before eventually settling in Central Europe, in Austria. This international background has shaped his worldview and passion for geopolitics and international dynamics.

Together, they discuss Israel and the wider conflict in the Middle East. Heath opens up about how his stance on the conflict has at times cost him friends. They reflect on how local conflicts can influence opinions and relationships across the globe, even for those who are not directly involved. They also touch on other international hotspots, including Ukraine, Taiwan, Sudan and beyond.

The conversation also moves to how narratives, social media and censorship can shape the way the world events are perceived. They highlight why developing critical thinking is essential for navigating information, understanding the complex dynamics behind the global events, and forming informed opinions.

In this episode, Julia sits down with Zhanna Galeyeva, the CEO and co-founder of Bird of Light Ukraine, a charitable organization established after the 2022 full-scale invasion that provides essential aid to communities across Ukraine.

Together, they discuss Zhanna's journey from Ukraine to the US, her exploration of different fields of study in college, and her experience working in various roles before finding direction through meditation and spiritual practices. Zhanna shares how she felt a calling to return to Ukraine to reconnect with her father after years of distance — a decision that unexpectedly reshaped her life.

She recalls how, when the invasion began and she reached the border with Moldova, she decided to stay in Ukraine and help people directly. Starting with fundraising for food and cooking meals for refugees, she went on to coordinate medical supplies, deliver ambulances, support orphanages, and more. Through these experiences, Bird of Light Ukraine was created and has positively impacted over 600,000 civilians.
