Hey all! We originally wanted to make this episode subscribers only—but it’s SO IMPORTANT (and since many people are traveling this summer), we’ve made it public for now.

Don’t do what I did—and what I’m doing.

Learn about what happens when/if you post your boarding pass online.

Learn about how to protect yourself from social engineering attacks.

Hey all! We’ve hit the big four-oh (40) in season 2! We've got another episode following up on last week’s pod, Season 2, Episode 39: As Harvard goes, so goes US.

International education is BIG business in the United States. We have over 1 million international students in the country now—but in the future, they may not come. Tune in to hear what this means for the country and America’s future (and the future of other countries).

If you liked it, please hit that subscribe button—and write us a one word review (thumb’s up or thumb’s down is ok!)—and pass the pod on to a friend or someone you like.

If not, let us know one thing that we can do better, and we will make it happen.

Thanks for joining us On the Fringe. We sincerely appreciate your support-especially in Bahrain where we're climbing the charts!

Gavin and I are both passionate about education—cumulatively we have decades of experience teaching students that have aspired to not only study in the U.S. but at some of America’s best universities.

For some, this dream may change on a dime.

Listen in to what a lot of U.S. media is missing about the DHS/Harvard fight and what this means to the future of the country, our economy, and our place in the world.

We love making On the Fringe. Spread the word, share, and let us know what we can do to make your experience better :)

Hello Substack! We’ve got a double episode dropping today. We recorded one last week about the U.S.’s recent efforts to bring peace to the heart of Africa’s Great Lakes Region (Rwanda, the Democratic Republic of Congo, (DRC) and Burundi).

We’ve talked a LOT about these countries on the podcast because they are at the beginning of the supply chain for much of the world’s cobalt and other resources needed for modern technology and AI development. (the episodes are below).

The U.S. was able to bring the DRC and Rwanda to the table; both countries signed a Declaration of Principles in Washington, D.C nearly a month ago.

But, will there be a lasting peace? Listen for our take.

Season 2, Episode 9: Rebels WITH a Cause

Season 2, Episode 13: Congo Revisited

Season 2, Episode 14: Paul Kagame (the President of Rwanda)

Season 2: Episode 15: Congo the Third

After we recorded this, I had a very random thought…sanctions in Syria have a lot in common with my pants back in middle school…someone would come by and drop them when I’d least expect it. (I admit it’s a cheeky and tasteless comparison!)

On a serious note, listen in to how Trump is making waves in the Middle East, and just changed millions of lives through an unscripted play by dropping sanctions on Syria.

We’ve talked a LOT about the country in the past few months. If you need more background check out these episodes

If you plan to travel abroad, don’t miss this episode.

Most people who get in trouble abroad do so because they didn’t do their homework. Before you visit or move to another country, check the local import and export laws, ESPECIALLY if you are bringing or buying something.

Listen for our take on Jarred Shaw’s recent arrest in Indonesia for possession and importation/distribution of illegal drugs. In Indonesia, the penalty may be more than financial—he may pay with his life.

Hey all! We’ve got a new episode piggybacking off our episode last week, “Bamboozled by Bots!”

In this episode, Gavin and I talk about how AI is being used as a weapon in the ongoing India-Pakistan conflict. It’s not the AI that came out in 2022; it’s much more cutthroat and cunning—and has already swept up millions. Learn how and why this weapon of war is being used against the masses and how you can protect yourself and spot/listen for key info that likely makes a source fake or untrustworthy.
