In this episode, I sit down with Marine and strategist Mark McGrath to explore OODA, AI, orientation, and the reality of the modern information war. Mark reveals how technology reshapes our perception, how narrative weapons bypass logic, and how leaders can reclaim clarity in a world defined by speed and noise.
This conversation is for leaders, thinkers, and anyone who feels the world is outpacing their understanding. Your orientation shapes every decision you make, and unless you grasp how information, technology, and narrative influence you, you are stepping into the fight blind.
