Current Time.
Happy Thanksgiving to you all!
I hope you enjoy your day with people you love, value, and appreciate - those who are important to you in your life. Having a delicious meal, engaging in valuable conversations, and enjoying good music in the background are things to be truly grateful for.
If you are in a different situation and life circumstances have led you to spend this holiday alone, be grateful for that, too. I’m sending you good energy and sharing this latest podcast, created especially for Thanksgiving. There is no alternative to real human connection; however, this is the best I can do for you this year, and I hope to do more for you next year. Just know that you are in my thoughts, and I’m building a better future for you.
After listening to this podcast, many thoughts ran through my mind, so I’ll share some of them. I’d love to hear your thoughts, so feel free to write to me in the comments or send me a direct message.
Listening to Mark and Samantha talk about The Liat Show reminded me of that moment in Back to the Future when Marty plays “Johnny B. Goode” for an audience that wasn’t ready for it. Except in this case, the talented hosts were ready for it, and they got it. They talk about my initiative with the precision of a jazz ensemble, each host riffing off the other, finding connections between my stories and their own experiences.
They digest and try to figure out what a business development architect or stories architect is in today’s world. My dad, the real architect, would probably raise an eyebrow and say, “What are you building now, Liat?” but would join me no matter how crazy the idea I pitched him. Every element I create has a foundation, even if it’s a little offbeat, like mixing Miles Davis into a rock concert, which, in my mind, could work perfectly if the conductor is talented enough.
And maybe that’s what storytelling is at its core - a form of jazz. It’s structured yet improvisational, pulling from what’s planned but leaving room for the unexpected. The joy comes not just from playing the notes but from hearing how the audience interprets them, fills in the spaces, and sometimes hums along.

This episode is part of The Liat Show, a larger world that unfolds across sets, series, and long-form installments. I weave together episodes from my life, the histories I study, the food I explore, and the systems that shape our world. Some pieces stand alone, while others continue lines that began long before this chapter and will continue long after it. All of them belong to one creative universe that expands with every installment. Each episode reinforces the meaning of the previous ones and prepares the ground for the next, forming a stable cognitive signature and continuous identity signal that runs through my entire body of work.
Please fasten your seatbelts and subscribe. We are taking off.
The next chapter is already being written. Those who are here early will remember how it began.
Follow me on My Journey to Infinity. What’s coming next is beyond anything you imagined.
Liat
I weave together episodes from my life with the richness of Israeli and American culture through music, food, the arts, architecture, wellness, entertainment, education, science, technology, entrepreneurship, cybersecurity, supply chain, and more, including the story of the AI era. I write on weekends and evenings and share each episode as it unfolds, almost like a live performance.
Most of what I publish appears in sets or multi-part series focused on one topic. Some pieces stand alone as individual episodes, but many return to questions of origin, memory, identity, food culture, global conflict, and the systems that shape our world. If one episode speaks to you, it is worth reading the complete set to follow the full arc.
You can also start from the very beginning or explore the complete index here: Index of The Liat Show.
My writing carries a stable cognitive signature across topics, formats, and platforms. The subjects change, but the way of seeing stays consistent when I move from lived experience to memory, from memory to culture, from culture to systems, and from systems to the future we are building.
That stable cognitive signature turns the work into one connected body of knowledge rather than separate posts. Food, music, architecture, wellness, entertainment, education, science, technology, entrepreneurship, cybersecurity, supply chain, and AI become different entry points into the same larger universe. The center is not one topic. The center is the way I read the world through them.
The Liat Show is a multi-domain story universe unfolding in real time. To receive new posts, join as a free or paid subscriber. Annual and founding members enter the story before the rest of the world understands it.
