So I am marveling, being here with you low these many months after we met, you went on stage and talked about what you did. And I just grabbed, well, first of all, I grabbed you but I said, we have to do a panel. We have to do a whole sexuality panel on my show but who knew that COVID was gonna hit the world?  We are. And I just so glad we're doing this.   And the fact that you offer all of what you do and then now when finding out you're into shamanism, like you and I girl, we are so aligned. So I wanna say how excited I am because this sexuality, these divine principles that you teach are opening up right now in my world like a beautiful lotus flower. So it is synchronicity indeed that you are here right now to talk about this. How beautiful, I didn't know that part. I'm super excited and yes, I know as soon as I met you I just felt this connection. And I didn't know that you were so in tune with what I do too. So we're totally in alignment and I'm so happy to share this with you because sexuality is something that is so taboo. And when we understand that there is a divine and sacred aspect to it and we can embrace it from that perspective and it can truly be the most pleasant way to heal ourselves. I love it. So we'll dance around this and there's so much to deep dive with you. Let's start with the divine sexuality. So here's what happened concurrently right before I met you. There was a woman at the event where you and I were at. I had just met her the night before the event started. And this was like honestly, very short hair, middle-aged woman, you would never think. And I was just getting to know her and she said, oh, I just came back from this goddess retreat and I learned orgasmic meditation and Yoni massage. And I went home to my husband of however many decades and we started doing it and my life is changing. And I'm like, getting out of a pad and paper like, you did what? I never heard of it. And I'm taking notes and I went back up to my hotel room and I'm looking it up on YouTube going, oh, Lord, I didn't know this thing existed. And so I just wanna start there with that subject. Let's just open that up. Talk about that in regards to divine femininity and sexuality.  So I grew up in Spain where sex was strictly for procreation and a woman's highest aspiration was to serve her husband. So sexuality was a sin. Literally, we were in dictatorship. So we were in a very conservative regime. So sexuality was like this sinful taboo, guilt, you know, all of these negative emotions. And since, yeah, tell me, tell me. A lot of shame. A lot of shame, a lot of shame. And since you are into chakras also, I imagine. So this is all lower chakra negative energy. So blocking all the lower chakras with all those aspects. So that doesn't allow the energy to come up into the heart and to the higher centers or have a foundation for the energy to truly flow through the whole energy field. So this right away, it really disconnects us from our bodies, right? So we are maybe wanting to have a beautiful relationship but who knew sexuality is, of course, the bonding and the glue of our relationship. So how can you have this beautiful experience with a partner when there is no sexuality, specifically orgasm is what really creates this heightened connection at a physical, mental, emotional and spiritual level. So if we don't tap into that because we have all these breaks and all these blocks and all these things out of place, it is so hard to really have that communion, that sacred marriage with a partner. So because of that, I married for 17 years. So I had a little bit of a time of challenges with my husband in this regard. So that's when really I started looking for this. And there are many, many aspects to it. Of course, there is all the multi-orgasmic sex, which is amazing and it's actually a byproduct of healing trauma, redefining sex, learning to understand your body that is not just sometimes, especially with some of our partners, we might experience that there is like really localized sex. They go for very specific points, but it's more about discovering the map of our bodies and understand how orgasm and ecstasy can be all around our bodies. Wait, wait, can we just stop there? Yeah. I love that, I love that. So do you, because now I wanna do this. I really do, that's taking it to another level. Can you just give a tip here about a way that we can explore, how can we start to feel all these senses for ourselves or for our partner? Yeah, so one of the practices that I love is to, in Spain we do the idea of siesta, like nap. So just taking that time to disconnect because especially for business owners, like women business owners, that we are really saturated with a lot of information in our heads and we don't go into our bodies. Just taking that break in the middle of the day can truly expand our businesses because we are fully energized and inspired. So just taking that time, going to the bed so you are pretty awake, but you just go there, lay down in your bed, create a sacred space for your sexuality. That's super important. So you don't want to, in an environment that is, I don't know, with clutter and other things, but truly create a sanctuary for your body. The same that your body can start being the sanctuary of your soul. So you create this space and you know that every day you go there and you take even if it is 10 minutes to disconnect from everything. You put some candles, beautiful music, some essential oils and lay down. And I recommend to do this alone for a period of time even though sometimes it can be with a partner, but it is important to, as women, start creating and developing this self-love for our bodies and also this knowledge about how we react to that. Men touch very differently to how we touch as women, right? So it's almost the sensation that when we touch, we give and sometimes men might almost be taking because they're so excited and they're like, oh my goodness. So sometimes we might not be able to go into that sensual, a little softer feeling that allows us to tap into other sensations, other erogenous areas in our bodies. So as you are alone and you really set the states, the mood for this, just start exploring your body. So not just going directly to massage your clitoris, necessarily, but instead truly see how you react and sometimes placing a hand, I normally call the area of the yoni, the vulva, I call it yoni. So just, you can have one hand there and just explore different areas, but also see how it feels, the connection. I know that you are into shamanism and other things. Have you practiced Reiki or any energy healing? I've experienced them all, yes indeed, for many years. Yes, so we have this ability of channeling energy. So as you place your hand, once again it's not about taking energy, but about giving energy and giving nurturing to your body, self-love. So you are recharging yourself. And sometimes you might notice that as you caress yourself, you actually are able to almost like connect different pathways within yourself. So for example, there is a connection that is the heart-womb connection. And just feeling that connection and sometimes it might be so pleasurable and so exciting, but in a different way. So it's almost like an ecstatic experience. And what I mean with this, I had a near-death experience. And after that, I had an ecstatic experience, which was like, as psychologists told me, it was a Kundalini awakening because for a second I was one with everything. I was like, oh! And then I came back. But my life was changed forever after that. So it's a little bit like that concept we hear about say it's been in that ecstasy. Like suddenly everything stops and it's like this energy flowing through your body and it feels so delicious and nurturing and it's pure love. It's almost like liquid love flowing through you. So we can start tapping into those spaces and those feelings by exploring our bodies with the timing that we need and the pace that we need as women. Okay, that's beautiful. We're gonna go into this more in a little bit, but I think your story is really compelling. And I think it's so interesting, not just the juxtaposition of what you shared about coming from Spain and the dictatorship and all those more rays that were coming down on you saying, a woman is only valued by her man and they're assuming my own sexuality and my goodness, look at you. I mean, people should just go to your website and see these photos of you. They're so gorgeous. And- Thank you. Yeah, like I feel like you just live out loud in such a big way. So tell us, what is it that your journey's been? What have you been through? How in the world did you get here because it seems to me quite a miracle based on what I read? It has been crazy. It has been an adventure. It's almost like I lived, I don't know, 20 different lifetimes and these people has told me, like I was visiting a shaman and she was saying, you have lived like 20 lifetimes in one. How is that happening? Because it's almost like every, I don't know, 10 years, seven years, it's like a different life almost. So of course, growing up in Spain was very dramatic for me. I was the only black person I met until I was 14 because my dad is from Nigeria, but my mom left him. So my mom is part German.  I had three female caretakers. So it was my mom, my aunt and my grandmother. So men were nowhere around. My school was only girls. So it was very interesting. And then we were in poverty. It was a ghetto-like neighborhood.  I need to be like a man. So I'm going to go with the men and learn how they do it. And that was my perspective. So I made it. I made it into television. I was one of the first faces in primetime television. I even got to do dancing, choreographing and composing for the Olympic Games, candidacy. I got to be in the cover of Vogue Magazine. I got to travel around the world for my dancing and doing other things. And that's how I came, actually, to Los Angeles. So I was with a woman that is a very famous singer in the Latin community. And we were in West Hollywood, precisely where you are. And I fell in love with West Hollywood. Like I fell in love with West Hollywood. I said, I need to live here. And that's it. I'm serious. I'm serious. I love West Hollywood. I know. So I lived for about three years in Hollywood because I was doing martial arts. So I was doing a stunt, choreography and other things like that. So Hollywood was great for me. It was like, I had everything very close. And yeah. So all of that got me into meeting the love of my life. We were both martial artists training together, teaching together. And then suddenly I just sweet. And I said, healing it is. I opened my school. I train over 4,000 teachers and practitioners internationally. And... What specifically do you train them? Yes. So shamanic practitioners. So I teach them how to be shamanic practitioners or teachers. And also I train them on how to be reiki practitioners, reiki teachers. So I'm part of several lineages in shamanism, like the Zulu tradition. So yeah, because I'm part African, I really wanted to tap into that. So I decided to study for about five years and just go through the initiations and have that experience. And it changed my life so much. Growing up as the only black person that people would insult me in the street and just be so mean to me. And after that, seeing that being from Africa had this precious thing connecting with this wisdom of the shamans. So it was life changing for me to do this work. When you train people who come to you, what does that look like? What is the training, the teaching, the apprenticeship to become a fellow shaman if they actually do? What is that? What do you impart to people and what do they learn being with you? I'm getting chills. Like it's not for the faint of heart. Shamanism is not for the faint of heart.  And I'm like, be careful what you ask for because it's not necessarily a choice, a career choice or something like that. And normally it comes with a calling and that calling can be near death experience as I had, psychotic episode as I had, many things that really allow us to look beyond the veil. So if we are able to go to the other side and come back, we get some understanding of what is on the other side. So normally people that comes to my training, they're already having that calling. It's not that they think, oh, it would be cool to be a shaman because then they come to my training, they come to two classes and then they're like, oh my goodness, I'm out of here. They cannot handle it because the spirit is the one that brings the curriculum. You know, it's not like I dictated curriculum, I'm facilitating the training, but spirit is going to put that person through whatever they have to go to take down the walls so that our light can shine, so that we can have compassion for the human condition so that we can truly help to others and relate to others. So it's not a fancy, but it can be so profound in life-changing. Wow. And as a shaman yourself in the Sulu tradition you said, is that correct, Sulu? So we don't call ourselves personally, like I wouldn't say I'm a shaman, I don't say that, other people might tell me, but as a sign of humbleness, we cannot brag. Like, hey, I'm a shaman, you know, shaman Victoria. You know, we don't know that, we don't know that. So my mentor trained in Kenya in the Sulu tradition. So I am part of the Sulu and cross-cultural or inter-tribal lineages. And that's how I was trained. And I have other mentors, but this was like the main one that I work very close with. Yeah. How is that different than other shamans? I mean, if I were to be honest, I think the only shamans I know, frankly, are the ones I've drunk ayahuasca with, right? And that as well is not for the faint of heart. I mean, taking that journey on. I had a conversation with somebody because I had a wild calling when I went to Costa Rica, like first night, the divine came and said, you know, it's so hard to explain to people unless you've been through it, what that means. But this is the most intimate, deep, loving, graceful conversations I was having a lot with the divine over four nights.  And I was like, okay, I'm a media visibility gal, you know? And thus began these like boardroom negotiations. They were so kind to me, like they never, they were just very gracious about all of it that they allowed me to do what I needed to do. Then yeah, I was making boundaries. And then they'd come back the next night and they'd show me, let me, let us just show you this. So things weren't a frightening to me anymore. And it kept happening. They were using my hands to heal the room, to heal myself in minutes. They were having me go up to the shamans and say things like, you need to give me a blessing. I'm being told you need to give me a shaman blessing.  Yeah, they'll do that. So it's like, I would talk to the shamans because I don't understand what's going on. Like, what am I supposed to do with this information, right? And they started speaking to me about their journey. Like, oh, well, we spent 20 years traveling the world and drinking in every country. We've probably drunk 1,000 times of medicine and all kinds of medicine, plant medicine is like, I don't think that's what I want to do. I don't miss the kind of shaman I'm ready to become. I'll still drink, but I don't think I need to be that. So I'm very curious when you say what you're doing, this is new for me. Oh, okay, there's different ways to be this out to the world. So what is that for you, this tradition, these practices that you have and how you be out the world? Yes, so the sulu and intertribal or cross-cultural traditions are not about those plants necessarily. So instead, actually we go into trance with the drum. So the drum is our medicine. We work so much with the drum. The beauty about the drum is you can take it anywhere. Like, you know, if you are in ayahuasca, most likely you cannot be traveling and do other things. But with the drum, like you can go in trance or even with a rattle right away. So it's the practice of learning, which I actually can teach you in a couple of hours. It's super easy. But then we start putting layers and layers and layers as you start connecting with your helping spirits. And you start learning the different practices. So you start connecting with your powered animals and with your ancestors and you start doing that work. And it can become really, really interesting because we never know what's gonna happen. But it's almost like the veil between realities starts thinning a little bit. So as we drum, our brain waves go from a beta or theta or alpha state into a theta state. So beta and alpha is when we are more present in the physical reality. Beta is like really focused. So we are able to write, to math and things that are necessary, required to do a very strong focus. Then into alpha, we relax a little bit more. So we are able to maybe read a book, but they dream a little bit or drive and they dream. And then when we really open and we go beyond so our consciousness expands and expands, that's the theta state. At that state, you are able to have one food in physical reality, the other food in the other world. So that's when you are in a very deep meditation or a deep healing and you are able to perceive other realities, but still you can hear if somebody knocks on the door or somebody enters, so you are in between. And that's where the healing happens where the amazing experiences with your helping spirits can occur, where you can do healing for others, where you can do remote processes. So that's where the work starts. So the beginning is just learning how to navigate that run, which is called non-ordinary reality. So it's beyond the five physical senses. And once you know how to travel into that and create partnerships with your helping spirits that are able to almost work with you so that they can bring healing through the veil, so that you bring that energy through the veil for somebody that might need it, for your own self, for guidance, for anything needed. So as you start learning those processes or even you can work with deceased people that might be earthbound spirits, helping them cross into the other side. So there is a lot of this. And it's interesting that you also mentioned priestesses. So I also initiated some priestesses for the divine sexuality work. So it's so interesting that you also are into priestess, energy and all of that. This sounds so much when you describe the drumming, the rattle, the journey, the meeting, the spirit guides and the power animals. It sounds very much like Michael Harner's work, the way of the... Yeah, so he is one of my mentors that I studied for years with her. She was also working with Michael Harner. So she was like one of the people that was... Is it Amanda Folger? Amanda Folger, I work with her also, but this one's Sandra in German. Oh, sure, okay. Yeah, so she's one of my mentors. So that's cross-cultural. So basically cross-cultural is all the practices all around the world, Africa, Australia, America, everywhere, what is the core and bringing that together. The same practices that were practiced all around the world. So what is that core? And mostly they work with the drum, they work with three realities, which is the upper world, the middle world, the lower world, power animals, helping spirits, ancestors. Ancestors is a little bit more from them. Like in Africa, there is a little bit more of that, but I really love how interesting it is that even though we didn't have internet back then, right? They were doing the same practices, right? It's not like they were, hey, what are you doing? So how do you work for shamanism? They weren't like that, right? They had this connection with the earth and the elements in nature and they really knew. They had that connection with spirit and they were doing exactly the same around the world. So how is it for you, Victoria? When you're out in the world, I mean, you're talking about a foot in one world, a foot in the other, I assume that's something you could turn on, but still, if you're gifted like you are, I would imagine at some level that's sort of on all the time. So when you're on, like even when I met you, right? In a group situation like that, are you able to perceive much more than the ordinary person about what's going on or about spirits? So for sure, I'm used to that. So it doesn't feel like a strange to me.  But of course I can turn my attention towards one thing or another.  Sometimes these experiences are actually tied to trauma.  So anytime that we kind of, almost like going out of our bodies because it feels so uncomfortable to be within them, of course, where we go, right? We go to the other side in a way. So I always been a little bit connected to the other side because of that. So I just started reading tarot cards when I was like 11. You know, I already had some of that connection and I had always a lot of connection with that. So it becomes almost like normal. And at the same time, sometimes it can be dangerous. So when I had my awakening, that I had this Kundalini awakening that I shared with you of the oneness moment. Second, that was a little bit confusing because I didn't have a mentor. I didn't have a guide and I was totally on the other side, you know? Like I was just barely on this side. I was working in television, but I was completely gone. So it doesn't, it can be tough, you know? Like we always have to have our roots in the physical reality because we're living this physical experience. So it can become challenging sometimes. So once I balanced it through martial arts, through shamanism helped me actually also. I feel pretty good, you know? Like I don't feel that being out of the world like I used to be sometimes. So I feel that it's very easily integrated and I can totally focus on just being here even though I might be more sensitive in some ways. And how long when people join your shamanism program, how long is that? Is it a month? Is it a year? Is it a lifetime? Well, I feel that this is going to be a path and a lifestyle for everybody that truly has the calling. We call it the calling because it's not a choice. It's like you are called by the spirits. You are called by your ancestors.  You need to do something. It's like, so we call it like that. And when that happens, then it's going to be a lifestyle. Then I have other people that comes and they just want to have some tools for themselves to find guidance, to find healing. And then you can just come for a weekend and that will be plenty. And in fact, like some people started my full year of mentorship and they couldn't complete it unless they have that calling. So normally, I ask for a year because I feel, yeah, if you want to really dive into this a year, otherwise you can come for two hours for a weekend and you will learn so much. Like I have people come for two hours and their lives are changed. But of course, to be a shamanic practitioner, I recommend a year. Yeah. And do you only work with women or do you also work? No, it's interesting because when I was teaching martial arts, I had like 95% of students male and then I switched to healing arts and he's like 95% women. So I had a couple of guys. Oh, that's good to know. And you also offer something called the ecstatic woman. What is that? Yes, the ecstatic woman experience. So that's what I'm focusing on right now because even women that have done the shamanic training with me have told me this, the divine sexuality work is what truly took everything to the next level.  All of it is celebrated by working in divine sexuality because it works with the core of who we are as women. So what this means is whatever we go, we are women. If our concept and our feeling of being women and being in a physical vessel that is female feels a little off, then everything is going to be a little off. How we relate to others, how we relate to our bodies, how we relate to our businesses, everything is going to be a little off. So by transforming that, that is at our core, everything else is celebrated. So because of that, I'm offering the ecstatic woman experience because I used to teach people in the medical industry, doulas and healers, but I really wanted to help everybody, every female, seriously, something that every female can benefit from this, especially business women that we are sometimes so much into our masculine energy. So connecting with that juiciness of the femininity so that we don't squish down femininity, but instead we can exude it and allow that to fuel our careers, our relationships and ourselves. Yum. Okay. So, okay. I wanna, so let's go back to the sexuality. And I love that we're talking about this. I think this is so important and it's amazing that I'm just finding out about all of this. I mean, I think I'd heard about it, probably the universe was preparing me by hearing things, but they were so strange. I was hearing about these circles where women would lay down and a man, you know, strange men would touch them and I was like, what? And I just shut it down. I didn't even understand because there's so much stuff out there. And then after this woman, I met Tommy about Yoni massage and OM or orgasmic massage and I started looking at these YouTube videos and going, wow. And so here I am with my boyfriend. And I am in such a great situation because my body loves his body. I don't think I've ever experienced anything quite like the connection we have, but he for me is so hot. And that's not about looks, even though I think he has an amazing body, but it's not about that. It's just not, it's just this energy. It's this thing between us. And so we're practicing things like even sacred sexuality breath together, which has nothing to do with touching genitals or anything. It's literally about breathing each other's essence and we have this practice we've been doing and it's amazing. And then we do have a sacred space that we will make like a date with each other to do the orgasmic meditation, which women, men, if you haven't tried it, you must find out about this. And it's beyond for me. I mean, it's so amazing. And what is also amazing to me is how much he loves it. That he says, I get just as much out of giving to you like that. And for him, it's a meditation. And he's fully in like to all of this. So I feel like I'm at this place where I know this much and probably that much. And I'm wanting to explore. So can you take us on some kind of guided tour of all of what's possible there? So the work that I do, there is so much when it comes to divine sexuality. The work that I do is mostly related to women and just with ourselves, even though it of course permeates into our relationship with our partners, how we love it. So one of the things, one of the practices that I love is Yoni eggs. Have you been working with us? No, what's that? Okay, all right. So maybe you would like that. Do you want me to bring some? Yes, of course. I'm a hundred percent. Yes, this is show and tell. And we need a docent to be taking on this guided tour of divine community and sexuality. And we have just the person. Yeah, so my work is mostly about healing. I'm a healer, as you know. So I don't, I mean, we go into ecstatic processes, but the work with me is not so much about put this posture for this or, you know, it's more about what are the things that are preventing your full enjoyment and your multi orgasms and what is that is preventing from that? And how can you tap into beliefs? And I just want to jump in here real quick and say for anyone who's listening to the podcast, I urge you to go to the YouTube video so you can see what she's going, Victoria's going to be showing us. And also, since you may also be interested in her ecstatic woman program, there will be a direct link for you there in the YouTube video. So yet another reason, youtube.com slash Debbie Dashinger and you'll get to see this gorgeous, fabulous woman. Okay, now we're in wrapped. All right. So I have here the Yoni X and I have actually a full tutorial in my website if anybody wants that and I also sell the Yoni X. All right. So Yoni X, they're coming, they're coming. Ta-da! Do you like crystals? Very much, yep. Here is one for that. So Yoni X, as I mentioned before, Yoni is the area, is the way in which we call the area of, from the Yoni up to the cervix. So all this area here, we refer to it as Yoni. And this is a Yoni egg. We also practice, for example, Yoni steam. So all of this is part of this tutorial that I was mentioning. And the Yoni egg is a special crystal because it has not been altered like many of, I did crystal healing and many of the crystals have been enhanced. But we don't want that because this is a crystal that you're going to insert in your Yoni. Okay. And this can be life-changing. So if you know about kegels, right?  It's the same that if we think about going to the gym and just doing like this all day, it doesn't really work, right? You need some kind of weight some pressure that you push again. So the same you can do with this. So for women that are mature, they need to start working the muscles of the area of the Yoni. So by inserting this and being able to hold it and start doing exercises, but not just doing exercises, you will learn how to start going out and even exercise, having this and holding it within. So it brings so much awareness of your Yoni. So much awareness of the muscles for women. I had women that had incontinence and they healed it with this. Wow. And is that a particular crystal? Is that a carnelian? Yes. Very good. I see you know your crystals. Exactly. It's a carnelian. So I normally recommend to start with a green jade. It's I have one here, let me see. So I just... I'm wearing jade, but I think this would hurt. Yeah, don't put that, don't put that. Don't put that. And we have also different sizes. So all of this is explained in the tutorial if anybody's interested in deepening more their understanding. So yes, normally I would start with a green and then I would continue with rose quartz. So it's all based on the qualities of the crystals. So we want to start with healing with the green jade, then go with this energy that is more nurturing and then we're going to the fiery carnelian. So, you know in the beginning you will see it just falls. Like sometimes we cannot hold it inside. So it can be challenging, but as you continue developing the relationship with your journey, strengthening the muscles, developing your sensitivity, then you start understanding, oh yeah, here it is.  So imagine how that changes your relationship with a beloved when you are love making. You can absolutely understand what is happening, connect with other area. Oh wow. And if you have a very good experience, let me tell you. I just have a visual, I got it. Yeah, so yeah, it can be really exciting because now you have an understanding of how to work with your journey. And you can take it as far as you wanna take it because not only that we have your nex, we have one more thing which is the Benua balls. I know about those, but I've never understood them. Yeah, well, let me tell you about it. So this is. Oh, they're beautiful. Yes. So once again, they have to be very exquisite crystals that have not been enhanced in any way because we're going to insert them. And, you know, I have seen online as a crystal healing teacher, there are crystals that can dissolve. So we don't want to put that. Oh God. Yeah. We don't want to put that, right? And so let me ask you this, Victoria. So here's my question, because there's no rope attached to those Benua balls. How do you like, how do you take these things out? Let me tell you. So the yoni eggs, there are some that have the holes and you see, there is a hole there. You do, yes. So you can put a cord there, but I don't recommend it because we are working with surrendering. Yeah, I'm gonna say like having a tampon in you, like a crystal tampon, that would be nice. So it's a process of healing. So we need to connect with the crystal and it will come out when it has to come out or you will learn how to put it out as well. So it is not that hard. It is not that hard. And once again, I just want to make sure don't just go into doing it. I would either take a call with me. I offer free calls for 15 minutes, a discovery call or get my tutorial, but don't just do it without knowing or search for some kind of information. Don't just do it because there is a process to it. But once you have developed that connection, you can go to the next level, which is the Benoit balls.  No, ma'am. Yes. How would I see something like this? So I remember there was a movie that showed something like that, like a woman that had a ball and she was like, and I was like, what? I couldn't even make it. Did she spit it from her yoni and then it didn't go back in the yoni again? No, no, no. It didn't go back. Just going. That's like scripted to Soleil yoni. Well, I mean, it's pretty amazing that a woman can work the muscles in their yoni so that they can spit a ball in that way. And I thought that was... She's hitting a dart ball or a dart board or something and it's really, really impressive. Right? So we can, as women, we can develop this. So imagine women that have incontinence that have low sensitivity. If we would understand that we can truly develop this by exercising like any other muscle. It's just a muscle. So once you are advanced, you can do the art of fompoir, which is having one or more inside and being able to say, I bring it up. I bring it down. I take it to the right. I take it to the left. I put it out. I put it in. So you are able to develop that. It's like everything. Like everything, Debbie, we can develop every skill and every muscle. It's just that this muscle is censored. It's like, don't look at there. Don't touch there. It's shameful. You know, I'm just getting so much... I feel a little sad because I mentioned to you, a friend offered me a press release and I never did this. And I'm like, oh, cool. Let's see how that goes. And then she's like, censored. And I'm like, why?  And I'm like, oh, but it's healing. So when we have that fear around our sexuality, we have shame, we have guilt, we have taboo, we have lack of knowledge. We don't even know what we have here, you know? And it's part of our bodies. The same that you do in your manicure, your hair, why don't we take care of that area? And that imagine how can transform your relationship with your beloved and with yourself.  And it's like, oh, there's nothing like it. I think it's such a rewarding time. And you know, it's interesting. I'm just gonna be really transparent. I had an autoimmune disease for a while and it literally was shutting down my genitals. And I'll tell you something very interesting, Victoria. And that is that I am grateful today for it. And why I say that is because I had taken my sexuality so for granted. Then this happened and it, of course, became difficult. Everything became difficult. And I just retreated completely from being sexual. And it was the only way I knew because frankly, the pain of acknowledging what was happening was so great that my denial was just to like go on with my life as though sexuality didn't exist.  And that is completely unacceptable. Like I'm not gonna live like that. And in the face of being told by umpteen doctors and specialists, this is the way it is. And not just myself, but many, many women have gone through this as well. This is the way it is.  There's no cure. And I was like, F that, not on my watch. I wanna be a woman. And the beauty is that on the other side of like, taking back my health and my body and my being, I am loving sexuality in a way never before. Like now I don't take that ever for granted what is possible. So that's why I feel like this huge awakening, even on this side of things, like, oh, you're listening to what you're saying you could do and wanting to just like explore, explore, explore. Especially when you have a partner who's like, I'm open to all of this. This sounds great, right? I know, that's so amazing. And not every man is open to that. So a lot of the work I do mostly is from women. And then sometimes it gets to their men, but sometimes, you know, it's not as easy for you. So that's amazing. And I love what you said. That you were told, this is going to be life. And you said, no. Come on, look at me. Have you met it? Hey! Yeah! It is true, you know, with 17 years old, I was diagnosed with genital spine problems. I was told you cannot do mostly anything physically. And then I became a stuntwoman. So here you go. It's like sometimes they give us these labels. It's the same with these students that I mentioned that they have problems within continents.  I really recommend you on EX. And anything that is natural that can reconnect with, you know, can reconnect us with our bodies. And I'm so happy that you did that transformation because you are on fire, Debbie. Like you are like so passionate and fiery and ferocious and wild. I just love that. Thank you so much, yes. Yeah, there is no way to put that down. There is no way. No putting out the fire, juicy, juicy. Wow, so yoni, eggs, and Benoit balls. Oh boy. And then other things, yeah. And it's so great. So after 13 years of being with your husband, so you guys still have a really juicy, amazing marriage? We had to work on it. And it doesn't mean that it's perfect, okay? So I think that it's important to understand that as human beings, we are always in the process of balancing. So our health, our relationships, everything. We are in continuous transformation. So we are not always good, but we have gotten to that place that we understand each other sexually and that we are able to practice different things that we didn't before, right? With more awareness, understanding my body. You know, let me give you an example because this was such a transformation. So as I mentioned, I grew up with all these voices in my head, like sex is a sin and like being approved almost. And my grandmother telling me, women that have too much sex, they become sick. That was the idea, you know?  And then being with my husband, oh, and then suddenly my mind, you know, why am I so not pure? Why am I doing this? Why I desire so much? Why I get so crazy? Because truly sexuality takes us in like another state. Like it's an altered state of consciousness. We merge with our partner. We merge with everything. Time completely dissipates. So I was feeling like, my goodness, how can I do this? And not feel so impure. So finally, this was one of the changes. Imagine from having these limitations and just not being able to embrace love, love making with my beloved to now say, no, no, this is helping, let's have more, you know? Like this is really good for me. Is the best exercise, best healing energy, best bonding energy is really good.   I had not so good partners before. So healing that in that part of all of these are things that we do. And also I shared about them in my ebook. So going from that place of feeling threatened by your partner because your body remembers at a cellular level, they abuse and you don't want that. So being able to move beyond that, another thing. As a business woman being in my mind and not dedicating time to self love, self care, self pleasure, all of those things by removing those blockages. That has transformed my relationship so much. So he noticed there was like a before and after and then I taught him some things as I was learning. I'm like, okay, no, no, but let's do this, you know? And then that changed a lot. Once again, something very transformational is the way in which we women touch that is much more giving healing in general.  So for them to learn how to do it a little bit different sometimes can be also very life changing. Especially with the background you're describing, Victoria, how did you learn to look in the mirror and love yourself, love what you saw? Oh my goodness, it was very interesting. I remember perfectly the moment in which this started shooting for me. So when I was about 13, people up to then, people in the street would talk to me about to insult me. After 13, they harassed me. So they were telling me how gorgeous I was all the time but it was hard for me to accept. But I noticed that because you're like, okay, well, it seems that I have something that people is liking and then they hired me in television. I started doing runway and modeling and all of this. So I understood, you know, that yes, there is this beauty and something but it really took me a while. I think that because I was in the entertainment industry that's another thing that I shared about body shame. Everybody around is perfect, you know, like there is no overweight people, there is no, to think, well, to think, yes, but not, you know, like they all look the same. They all look the same. So it feels like that's the world, you know? So full body women, which are beautiful, you don't see any until you go into a different circle of people. So for me going into a different circle of people and seeing all of that and also coming here to the US where there is a lot of people that is my color or darker, all of that has helped a lot to understand, okay, I'm not so weird, I'm not the alien one, but instead there is all this diversity, you know, that is amazing. And even with my hair, my hair, I used to wear wigs and extensions all the time. I was so afraid to show my hair because it was just not what was trendy in Spain at that time. So all these things that we put on ourselves, all these burdens that we put on ourselves as women, you know? And I think this is especially important, I just wanna say, because you are a stunning woman.  You are so noticeable in a crowd. And the reason why I'm asking this and I want people to hear this is because I have known my whole life, many stunning beautiful women, just because someone is stunning and beautiful does not mean that they walk around and feel that on the inside, right? And I- Absolutely true. It's so important. And no matter what we think or perceive we look like, really all that's important is how we talk to ourselves, treat ourselves, see ourselves in the mirror and what we say when we see that. And even what you're talking about, how to create that sacred space and just touch with such reverence and sovereignty and love, the importance. And I'm gonna start that by the way. Yes. And I'm gonna give that one to you. So for everybody hearing I want them to see this gorgeous creature, but because of what she went through all the voices between the religious shame and then the shame of you came from this culture or you have dark skin.  And at the same time I can imagine the hurdles you must have had to go through because of what was imposed on you. You know, there is people that might not be a model, for example, but they have had a good loving, caring parents and that changes everything, you know, because they remind them how precious they are. And we all women and all men we are all precious. Like we are this droplet from the divine source and we are just precious, whatever we look like we are precious. However, we get into these stereotypes with the media and the movies and the magazines and we think that we have to look in a certain way. We look back at what was beautiful like the three graces, this painting that has three women with cellulite, just dancing so happy. There is a painting that is very famous. So they show how beauty was different. And in 10 years or 100 years or 300 years it might be different. So if we get stuck into only one shape, one kind of prototype or stereotype is good. It's just not giving us a good service. So what I recommend for women and men that are going through that is to start training our inner parent. So we have our inner child and of course we want to nurture it but there is a part of us that is our inner parent. And this part of the inner parent is the part that we inherit from our caretakers. So we want that part in us that is the voice in our heads to start telling us beautiful things no matter what. These unconditional love start speaking to us.  So we're right here at the end, Victoria. Give me one thing. What are you next year to dream? What is a future dream or goal you have? Oh my goodness. So I'm a study of this movement of women. I want to transform. We have a certain amount of time on this earth and I feel that the only thing that we can do is to make it a little better, right? If we come to this earth, we live for some decades and we make it a better place. What I would like to do with that time is to help women to free themselves, to free their sexuality, to understand that they're not a slurry if they connect with that, that they are not arrogant if they want to exude their beauty. So just start that movement and that sex doesn't have to be censored as it is so much. So that we can not get into this distorted sexuality, but instead we can learn to just understand it's natural. We are part of nature and a foundation of nature is sexuality. Otherwise we would not be here. Thank you so much for coming on the show today. This has been really wonderful. Thank you so much, Debbie. I was so excited to meet with you. I knew that we will have something super juicy. Oh, it's juicy for sure.

This is Margaret. She's a technical writer with a strong interest in information security, learning, and education, and interdisciplinary connections. She has spoken at conferences, including Right the Docs Day Australia, the O'Reilly Open Source Convention, OSCON as we call it, and abstractions too. All right, take it away. Thank you. Hello friends in the back, and the front and the middle. Good morning everyone, and thank you for showing up as it is still morning. I appreciate it extra. Today I'm going to talk a little bit about the mosaic theory of information security. I'm going to start and spend a little more than half the talk explaining what mosaic theory is and how it is used in the financial sector, where the idea originates. And then in the second half, we are going to talk a little bit about how this can be useful to you as an information security practitioner.  I'm gonna read them out loud just to be completely explicit. I am not a lawyer. I am not a financial advisor. I am not the SEC. I am not in any way entitled to make expert judgments on what is or is not legal or insider trading. This whole talk is provided without warranty or guarantee. This is not legal advice. This is not financial advice. I am especially not your lawyer or financial advisor. I am going to talk about how legal and financial concepts work in a general sense based on a lay person's understanding so we can all have a shared basis from which to discuss their applicability to information security. Do not make financial or legal decisions based on any information in this talk. Again, not advice. Talk to actual experts if you feel inspired to make financial or legal decisions after watching this talk. Do not rely on my information and do not make them because of anything I say today. I am not an expert on insider trading regulations but I have enough of a general idea to use them as an allegory for a problem that security faces. We're all clear. Not advice, not gonna listen. It's gonna come up a couple more times, but. So, first we're going to talk a little bit about what mosaic theory is. We'll give a few examples of what does or does not fall under the mosaic theory. We'll talk a little bit about how you can use this and then we'll revisit and wrap it up. First, the SEC's definition of insider trading. This is illegal insider trading refers generally to buying or selling a security and breach of a fiduciary duty or other relationship of trust and confidence on the basis of material non-public information about that security. Insider trading violations may also include tipping such information, giving it to somebody else, securities trading by the person who received that tip or securities trading by people who misappropriate such information. I really want to focus in this definition on the concept of material non-public information because whether something is or is not material or non-public is kind of the core focus of how this relates to infosec. First, I'm a technical writer and I'm at a hacker conference. Why am I talking about mosaic theory or finance in general? So I decided at one point that I wanted to learn a little bit more about finance and mostly how that team worked at my company but also just in general. It seems like a useful thing to know. I started with kind of a basic introductory finance newsletter and then I graduated to Money Stuff by Matt Levine. It's a Bloomberg newsletter. I love it. It goes out every day. He gives enough of an explanation that you can use it to learn about concepts but also goes over whatever the current news is. And one day he had a story about an argument about whether something was insider trading or valid under the mosaic theory and it had a cool name. So I Googled it a bunch. A different columnist describes the mosaic theory as being how professional investors and research analysts work the phones to ferret out information about companies that can't be found by simply reading news releases. That is, they get information that the company is willing to disclose but that hasn't been prominently disclosed in a public place and they combine it. This is the core of what counts as skilled financial analysis and not insider trading. For something to be insider trading which you do not want to do, it has to be material information direct from a reputable source. The information often comes packaged together so you're not combining information from different sources but you can act on a single tip or piece of information. And also the information is useful alone. On the good side, skilled financial analysis which you are allowed and encouraged to do involves immaterial information from multiple sources. You combine that information to create useful packages and that combination is what counts as the skilled part here. And the individual pieces of information are not as useful as the whole. That is, if you took any one of the things you're considering, you would not be able to get as good a result as you have gotten by combining that information. I bet this is starting to sound familiar to some of you. Here is an example of a case that the SEC ruled was insider trading. In this particular case, a member of the board of directors of a potato chip manufacturer called Golden Enterprises was informed for legitimate business purposes as a director on the board that there was a pending merger with UTS quality foods which is privately held, so far so good. He got material non-public information but it was for a legitimate business purpose and he didn't trade on it. That's all fine. But instead of using that information exclusively for that legitimate business purpose, he tipped his friend and business partner, Michael Hale Smith, who in turn tipped his dad and his brother and his boss who all traded on it. Importantly, they all knew he was a director and so he was a reputable source. That's also important because if I tell you that a potato chip company will be acquired based on my expertise as a technical writer, I am not a reputable source and if you trade on that, you got lucky. That would not be insider trading.  You're only supposed to be able to trade on uncertain information so that there is still that element of luck or skill in ascertaining how good the information is involved in it. There's this interesting concept of fairness that underlies insider trading where the riskier it is, the more you're allowed to do it, it's odd. They did profit off of the information to the tune of less than half a million dollars, which feels extremely not worth it and they ended up agreeing to repay it with interest and additionally pay a fine equal to the amount they had initially earned without admitting or denying guilt. By contrast, this was not insider trading. A businessman who owns a restaurant in Massachusetts was found not guilty of insider trading this year after successfully reaping $850,000, a much better profit. From trading in the print company VistaPrint, he traded their futures between 2012 and 2014 in just two years, he got $850,000 and while he was extremely accurate, he was found to have combined bits of public information to make his decisions on. He used their public disclosures, which is totally fine and counts as skilled financial analysis, not insider trading. The case was originally brought because he had friends with ties to VistaPrint and people had said that he was doing so well that they must have been giving him advanced notice of the financial disclosures before they were published, but a jury found that they had not tipped him material non-public information. So in review, insider trading, bad, don't do this. This involves trading on single pieces of significant information that were not intended to be released to the public. Skilled financial analysis involves combining information that was meant to be released to the public and that's totally fine. That's the thing you're allowed to do. Why should you care about this? Well, you also have a lot of information. There is the equivalent of material non-public information, things that everybody knows you shouldn't disclose and it's a huge problem if you are disclosing. You've got people's usernames and passwords, users' personally identifiable information, details of your unreleased features, all that stuff. The stuff that we say, yep, definite breach if it gets leaked. But you also have some immaterial or public information like your press releases and your job ads and group pictures from your onsite that people can combine to constitute information that you may or may not have realized you were making public. Your material information might be something like this. Something fun that I like to do with this talk because all of these information security issues are so pervasive is replace all the examples the night before I give any variation of it every time. So this was a breach this week, two days ago. The California DMV spilled data from thousands of driver's license applications to a number of agencies including whether they had a social security number, which is significant because California allows undocumented people to get a driver's license and you can't get the real ID but now there's this whole database of who was in California and undocumented and legally allowed to drive that was given to among other agencies, DHS. But then there's also this immaterial information that you definitely want to release so you can promote your company, right? You've got your travel opportunities and employee sabbaticals, employee travel, onsite timing, job postings, the information in your applicant tracking system you want to release internally a lot of the time so that you can promote your opening so that you can promote your company so you can show people what a great place this is to work. But how can you use this? Well, some of you may already have encountered a situation where you released all those travel schedules and someone noticed that maybe an executive was out of office and took that as an opportunity for spearfishing or similar situations where there was something that seemed harmless when the person released it that was benign enough that it didn't get covered in security training or if it did, it was maybe an offhand mention and that then caused a serious problem of that material non-public kind of nature later on because the concept of the mosaic theory in the financial world is pretty well established. It began to be used as a defense in insider trading cases in the 80s and has continued to be used since then. This is something that a lot of the MBAs or executives or business stakeholders will readily understand and so if you're trying to establish why a couple of things that we're about to talk about are significant, this can be a great allegory for like, look, you know how you're allowed to trade on stuff when you combine the information and sometimes you can do so well with that that they're not sure if it was insider trading or not? Well, no one's gonna be able to tell how this breach happened if we keep putting out all of this information. You get blamed all the same way. One of the ways in which this turns up is prioritizing dealing with chunks of vulnerability chains. If you have a bunch of insignificant flaws in your software that can be combined to constitute a significant flaw in your software, instead of having legitimate non-insider trading, we now have workable, no major breach required hacking. This can be especially useful when you need to direct resources towards breaking a vulnerability chain when another stakeholder wants to advocate for putting that same time onto something flashier. Maybe let's not work on a new feature until we've taken at least one of these chunks out. It can also help when you need to evaluate the available OSINT on your organization, but before we get too far into that, it's another disclaimer slide. The tools that I'm about to mention are risky because they are useful. If they were not useful, people would not be putting so much information into them. They would just ignore them, and then that's no risk to your business at all. Beining these tools is not a good mitigation strategy for this risk. It's good to build awareness around them. It's good to keep track of what's going on on them. Don't try to convince people that they can't use Twitter or LinkedIn. It's not gonna go well. I really love an analogy from Sarah Harvey, who is a security and privacy engineer at Square, and compares your data to Lego bricks. You can put them together to build cool things with them, and it's great when you're using them correctly, but if you don't clean them up, they hurt a lot to step on. It's easier to avoid stepping on one if you have an idea of where they all are, and especially if they've all ended up where they're supposed to be. And I'm hoping that everyone takes away an idea that there might be places in your organization with piles of stray Legos hidden in the corner. There are a couple of clusters of types of information to watch out for. This first section are things related to the locations of your employees at any given time, and especially recent past employees. As people leave your company, they're often going to update their LinkedIn, and then people know that they just left. Hopefully you are doing some sort of exit interview or just having a nice company culture to begin with so that they're not really angry when everyone in their network gets an update that they just left your company, but that can be an area to watch for. You also want to look at things like conference or meetup attendance and course completion. A lot of the skills that your organization is targeting can come through there, especially if there's something that you are looking to get into that you haven't yet. Your organization might decide that it's totally worth the risk to promote it. For example, there is a Udemy data science initiative, and they have been able to make great strides in hiring competitively by announcing that they are trying to upskill or hire a ton of data scientists and that they are going to throw resources at that. That might be a thing you want to do, but you want to know that you're doing that rather than like, hey, engineers, go to three conferences about this technology, and you can use your company name on your badge, but we don't want anyone to know we're evaluating it. That one's not going to work as well.  If you don't have a place they can promote them internally, everyone wins there. You get to know who has a blog and what they're saying on it. They get to promote their blog and maybe get some extra likes. Everyone's happy. Also, watch out for what's happening in terms of conversations on public transit or near your office. Every security training ever says that you should be careful what you're talking about in public, but it's often so vague and abstract that by the time something actually comes up an end user has said the critical thing before they realize that they've said it. And so we've had some traction at my organization with providing concrete examples, like, hey, I was on the train this morning and I heard three people wearing their company badges complaining about how dumb this new HR training is that got assigned by the federal government after it turned out that they were having major issues in their stairwells. Three times in one week, different groups of employees. I love Bart. The main thing you want to look for in terms of this information, though, are the trends. You want to look for whether there is chatter about mergers and acquisitions. This can also be a little bit of a red team or marketing competitive intelligence kind of area. You can see where maybe if one of your competitors is suddenly super into attending events about and posting on Twitter about all these cool merger articles, there might be something coming down the line there that they have willingly or unwillingly made public to you. You also want to watch for mentions of tooling. That's going to turn up most frequently in terms of conferences, courses taken, meetups. People often add the skill assessments to their LinkedIn profiles now and that can be an important source of one person learning a new tool, an entire team learning a new tool, probably telling you something. Job posts and resignations, especially if you have someone who is significant enough to your organization that there is a blog post about their resignation and replacement or their resignation and the role being open, as well as general employee sentiment. If your employees are super angry, then you have a riskier environment to operate in than if you are a nice company and your employees love working there. In conclusion, one final time, this is still not financial advice. Nobody's trading on any of this. Ask your lawyer, ask your financial advisor, some professional who is not me, not that kind of professional. I am especially not your that kind of professional, not advice. Insider trading is bad, you shouldn't do it. That's advice that I am willing to provide. No insider trading. Additionally, all of the small things can add up. Because this is kind of an unusual topic, I'm going to do a double tiered Q and A here. There will be a brief Q and A period, about five minutes in here, where people can ask questions that are for the benefit of everyone. And then I will be out in the garden for the normal Q and A where you can ask more specific things or how this applies to a certain domain or stuff like that. We will have a microphone available. Thank you. Does anyone have any questions? I was wondering, how common is it for companies to allow their employees to just blog on their own private blog about going on at the company? It seems like that would be banned automatically. So the question is, how common is it for companies to let employees blog on their personal blog about the company? It depends on how directly about the company it is. But again, you can combine insignificant information from different sources. And so it's extremely common to let employees have a personal blog and to blog in a general sense about what they are doing or learning. And you can then combine that with the same employee's LinkedIn profile, which is often helpfully linked to from the blog page itself to figure out pretty trivially which company they're talking about or what sorts of projects they might be working on. Do you have any sort of term or anything like a red flag that when you see, you know that there is usually an expected outcome straight from whatever was mentioned? In terms of gathering the information together or? In the mic, please. I can't really hear you. Sorry. Whenever I see people disappearing or getting fired or anything like that, I know that, especially in the security sector, if it's a CISO. And I can guarantee there's almost like a breach that has happened that I'm waiting for. Is there anything like that? And pretend it's your talk that you have the same reaction to? So part of the problem here is that this is all about things you can combine. And so there's not any one silver bullet. There are a couple of things. I'll be posting my slides later. And those things that were grouped together on the slide with the sections of bullet points often can be combined with each other. Two together constitute one piece of information that's useful. In terms of a single thing to watch out for, with the exception of stuff that's totally unhideable, like your CISO took a new job somewhere else, people generally do a reasonably good job of either not putting stuff out there that shouldn't be out there or getting it down pretty quickly. Because once it's out there, you've got a lot of eyes on it, and someone's going to report it to a person who will tell you, hey, no, stop. Whereas this, you're probably not monitoring your friends to the same degree that this would require. Is there anyone else with the questions? In line with the previous question, do you think a portion of this could be automated, such as scraping, you know, LinkedIn, Facebook, whatever, looking for new domains, the company's registering, and stuff like that? Do you think that's possible? Chunks of it are absolutely automatable. You can scrape people's social media. Something that I've seen that I kind of hesitate to say on video is in the welcome emails, people list all of their social media links, and so I've seen people just save all of those to a document somewhere, and then you have all of your colleagues' social media links. But you can absolutely automate parts of the process. There is still, at this point, I think some manual work required in terms of combining it, but I would not be surprised if within a couple years the manual work could be drastically reduced if not alleviated altogether. To go off of his question, is there any established framework that you know or can suggest? I don't know an established framework for this because it's a little bit of thing that I made up based on a couple of learning interests I was digging into at the same time. It would be cool if there was an established framework. I guess maybe that means I should make one. All right, one last question. There is a partially established one. I think parts of it have been deprecated, called ReconNG, but it has a similar interface to Metasploit, so it's not the most user-friendly. All right, thank you, everyone. Thank you, Margaret. All right, thank you. And we will be continuing this in the back in case you didn't want to be recorded while you were asking your question.

Who is Valery Gerazimov, the new leader of Russia's war in Ukraine? President Vladimir Putin has put his top military officer, Valery Gerazimov, in charge of Russia's stalled invasion of Ukraine in the latest reshuffle since the start of the war. Gerazimov, 67, is not only the highest ranking officer in the army, he is also a very different type of commander from Surovkin, who was dubbed General Armageddon for his reputed ruthlessness. The longest serving chief of the General Staff since Union Times, Gerazimov, can boast of a solid CV with past successes in Chechnya and Crimea. He is also seen as a moderating influence on the course of the war and someone Washington can work with. Gerazimov, appointed chief of the General Staff and Deputy Defense Ministry Minister in 2012, is regarded as one of the country's most brilliant generals and has been recognized by the Russian President as a hero of Russia. He played a key role in the 2014 Crimea war by designing major military operations as well as in backing al-Assad in the Syrian Civil War. In addition, the Ukrainian military prosecutor's office has deemed him the main ideologue of the Donbas War. And in the current war, the US ranks him alongside Putin as one of the senior Russian officials directly responsible for the conflict, which has earned him several Western sanctions. Valery Gerazimov is, along with Minister Sergei Shoigu and President Putin, one of the three Russian men who possess a cheget, or nuclear briefcase, a mobile system that would allow the white, not red button to be pressed and the Kremlin's nuclear arsenal to be mobilized in response to an attack on its interests. Gerazimov's appointment means that all the means of destruction in the arsenals of the Russian armed forces could be used, said Russian military hardliner Igor Korachenko, who, according to Reuters, argues that part of Putin's decision is due to recent Western shipments of longer-range heavy weapons to Ukraine and the prospect that they will soon receive new armoured fighting vehicles. He is no General Armageddon, like Surovkin for sure, but it's not clear how much of an impact he can have on the course of the war. Cautions Stephen Hall, a Russia specialist at the University of Bath. Indeed, even if he wanted to overhaul the Russian army's modus operandi, he would have neither the equipment nor the means, nor indeed the manpower to do so. With the appointment of Valery Gerazimov, Russia's highest-ranking military officer as direct operational commander of the troubled war in Ukraine, President Vladimir Putin has doubled down on his conviction that the invasion's objections can be achieved without new leadership and is now turning to a trusted confidant who will carry out his orders without question, and analysts said. Gerazimov's appointment is likely intended to support an intended decisive Russian military effort in 2023. The Institute for the Study of War, a Washington-based think tank, wrote in an analysis. Putin has repeatedly demonstrated he misunderstands the capabilities of Russian forces and has not abandoned his maximalist war aims in Ukraine, the analysis said. Putin may have appointed Gerazimov, the highest-ranking officer in the Russian military, to succeed a series of theatre commanders to oversee a major offensive that Putin likely incorrectly believes Russian forces can accomplish in 2023. Other analysts said Gerazimov was potentially being set up to take the fall for the further Russian failures on the battlefield. And still, others speculated that Gerazimov and Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoygu were moving to reassert control for traditional military leaders over irregular forces led by Wagner mercenary group Chief Yegevny Prigozin and strongman Chechen leader Ramzan Kadirov. Gerazimov, Army General and Deputy Defence Minister, has been Chief of the General Staff for more than a decade and is a Kremlin insider who had a key role in planning the war from the start. As head of the joint forces in Ukraine, he replaces General Sergei Surovkin, who in just three months leading the war effort was credited with stabilizing Russia's position after Ukraine recaptured large swathes of territory. Some experts said personal rivalries were in the mix. Shoygu and Gerazimov demoted Surovkin and put Gerazimov in charge of the operation in Ukraine, demoting their most competent senior commander and replacing him with an incompetent one, tweeted Dara Masikot, an analyst of Russian defence issues at the Rand Corps. This is a story that has it all, infighting power struggles jealousy. Moscow's latest abrupt reshuffling of its top commanders announced Wednesday by the Defence Ministry was undoubtedly approved by Putin himself, left seasoned Kremlin watchers with their heads spinning. In Russia, many war hawks were irate that Gerazimov, whom they blame for the abysmal planning that led to repeated battlefield defeats, is now directly in charge as the war drags through its 11th month. Prigazin and Kadyrov were supporters of Surovkin, but had savagely criticised other Russian military commanders including Colonel General Alexander Leipin, who was promoted in Wednesday's shake-up according to Russian media. Leipin had been removed from a senior post in a previous reshuffling as the war faltered. Mark Gelioti, an analyst and expert on Russian security affairs, said Surovkin's demotion revealed Putin's tendency to associate people with problems. He thinks that all it takes is a new person, Gelioti said in an interview. He thinks that this was Surovkin's gambit and now he has to suffer for it. Gelioti said Gerazimov's appointment brings additional political clout to the day-to-day operational decisions but also signals an attempt to fix the Russian military's growing factionalism. The Defence Ministry's statement on Wednesday suggested that the reorganisation was linked to an expansion of the operation and intended to improve the quality and effectiveness of the management of Russian forces. There must be a hope that he can actually make sure that co-ordination with the Roscovitea Russia's National Guard, with Kadyrov's forces and above all with Wagner, will work better because that's been a disastrous failure, Gelioti said. The leadership changes, whatever their true purpose, highlight that Putin never expected to be in such a disastrous situation. He is now nearly a year into an invasion that some Russian commentators predicted would end successfully within days with victorious Russian troops parading through Kiev. Many pro-Russian military bloggers expressed skepticism that the reshuffling would solve the Russian army's mounting problems, including its reliance on hastily trained, ill-equipped recruits. The sum doesn't change by changing the places of its parts. A pro-war analyst, who goes by the handle Rybar, wrote on Telegram. Although Serovkin largely avoided public criticism, he was in charge when Russia suffered several humiliating battlefield defeats, including its retreat from Kursan city which Serovkin had predicted might be necessary when he was promoted to oversee the war.

individuals who have yet to commit any money to markets, roughly 40% of them, had no idea how to even take that first step toward investing. And the World Economic Forum, we've been privileged to bring together a number of critical stakeholders in financial services across the globe to look at the future of market democratization. That's how retail investors, those are non-professional investors, are engaging with capital markets and some of the key opportunities and challenges associated with this secular trend. The bottom line as it relates to what we have coined the empowered investor is really, it lies at the nexus of an individual who has the requisite access to asset classes and instruments that meet their risk and reward profile. So their risk tolerance and also their objectives, they have a sense of confidence that they understand how the system works. They understand how to engage with the financial institution and they understand the elements of a financial plan and how these components fit together. So they have that knowledge base front and center. And finally, this ability to access advice either in a hybrid manner or also through a personal advisor on an individual basis, human to human. If you have a combination of those pieces as an individual, you're well situated to handle your financial resources and being an empowered investor and take that financial destiny into your own hands in a very constructive manner. There's a huge opportunity here for the industry to work proactively, we believe, with educational institutions to create an approach that helps inform individuals and teach them from a young age some of these core values. Because again, the trend as we believe in a secular sense is moving toward individuals taking more of that onus on themselves and by necessity having to commit money to markets. And that's an opportunity for everyone. We feel to have representation among all segments of the global population, the ability to invest in markets as a way to grow and preserve wealth. It should be a fundamental right. Right now, there are many different barriers that prevent individuals from getting involved in markets. Some of that is knowledge base, some of it is structural. The necessity for individuals to have control and strong understanding around their financial futures is absolutely critical. Having that access is a positive phenomena and it's something that the industry should get behind and support in order to maintain and to grow it into the future. Because again, it does tie into people's livelihoods and their ability to manage their own finances and be empowered investors.
