The Death of Ownership: Why Your Next Car Might Charge You Monthly

The Death of Ownership: Why Your Next Car Might Charge You Monthly

In this episode of the KGYT Podcast (#64), I dive into a shift that sounds crazy—but is quickly becoming reality. Car manufacturers are moving toward a subscription-based model, where features like push-to-start, acceleration boosts, and other “premium” capabilities may require monthly payments through apps. That’s right… owning your car might not mean what it used to. I break down what this means for everyday drivers, why companies are going in this direction, and how this could completely change the way we think about car ownership moving forward. But while everyone is looking ahead, I found myself looking back… I talk about one of the most interesting cars I’ve come across here in Colombia—a 1994 model that represents the exact opposite of where the industry is headed. No subscriptions. No apps. Just raw, simple driving. This episode is about control, ownership, and whether the future of cars is actually a step backward for consumers. 🎧 Tap in and let me know—would you pay a monthly fee to unlock features in your own car?

Colombia School Festival Turns Into a Real Talk on Lebanon’s War | KGYT 63

On this episode of the KGYT Podcast, I share a more personal and unexpected experience while volunteering at my son’s school here in Colombia during their international food festival. Each class represented a different country, showcasing traditional dishes and culture from around the world. What started as a fun, community-driven event quickly turned into something deeper when I met one of the parents—originally from Lebanon—who shared their firsthand perspective on the ongoing conflict affecting their home country. This episode touches on culture, connection, and how real-world events are never as far away as they seem. Sometimes the most meaningful conversations happen in the most unexpected places.

From “Rompe la Piñata” to PAX Americana — What’s Really Changing? | KGYT 62

Episode 62 of the KGYT Podcast dives into some real, unfiltered thoughts that most people avoid talking about. We start with a crazy cultural contrast—how everyday people in Colombia can physically confront criminals before police step in… something that would never fly in the United States. It raises a bigger question: are societies creating their own version of justice? Then we get into the possibility of Colombia moving closer to a “PAX Americana” influence—and what that could mean for the country’s future. There’s also a noticeable shift happening with sex tourism in Colombia. It’s being cracked down on, but the bigger question is… what’s replacing it? And finally, we tackle a sensitive topic: why is it acceptable to criticize some religions openly, while others seem off-limits? This episode is all about asking uncomfortable questions, challenging norms, and looking at what’s changing right in front of us.

The lessons I'm learning "Indirectly" from Middle East Conflict | KGYT 61

In this episode of the KGYT Podcast, I break down the indirect lessons the  government is teaching me through its actions in the Middle East. This isn’t just about politics — it’s about perception, standards, and the message being sent to the rest of the world and what our values are as Americans. What bar are we setting? Can the actions of those that represent us be solely for us? These are the questions I am asking myself.  🎙️ In this episode:  * Should we be led by example?  * Can we behave like those that represent us?  * The standards we’re setting — whether intentional or not  * I break it down into simple relatable examples   👉 Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and share your thoughts in the comments. #KGYT #leadership #MiddleEast #Americanvalues #My perspective

In this episode of the KGYT Podcast, I break down one of the most intense geopolitical conflicts unfolding right now — the war involving Iran, Israel, and the United States. We dive deep into the demands being made by all sides: *  Iran’s calls for reparations, recognition of its rights, and guarantees against future attacks  *  The U.S. and Israel’s push for ending Iran’s nuclear ambitions, limiting missiles, and dismantling regional influence  But beyond just listing demands, I give my honest take: 👉 Which of these conditions are realistic? 👉 Which ones are political posturing? 👉 And what would actually have to happen for this war to end? With tensions still escalating and negotiations uncertain, this episode cuts through the noise and focuses on what’s doable vs. what’s simply not. If you’re trying to understand the bigger picture — without the bias or the fluff — this one’s for you. 🎧 Tune in and let’s break it all down.
