The battle over online disinformation is usually framed as a fight for truth. But it is also a fight over power. As platforms tighten policies, algorithms quietly shape visibility and experts step in as arbiters of credibility, a deeper question emerges: are these systems protecting open discourse or controlling it? In this episode of the Doha Debates Podcast, we explore the rise of digital censorship and the growing assumption that the public cannot be trusted to think critically without supervision. Can harmful falsehoods be reduced without eroding the right to freely exchange ideas? And who decides where the line between protection and control is drawn? Experts join moderator Mohamed Hassan to debate how truth is defined, who gets to define it and what ethical responsibilities come with that authority. 💬 Join the conversation in the comments.

Superheroes are often seen as symbols of justice, but could their stories be shaping our sense of morality in ways we don't even realise? In this episode of @DohaDebates podcast, host Malika Bilal questions the cultural power of superheroes, from their commercial dominance to the way they influence our perceptions of morality, justice and heroism. Joined by New York Times bestselling author Nnedi Okorafor, religion and pop culture scholar Hussein Rashid, and social critic and journalist Keith Spencer, the discussion explores what makes a superhero “super” and whether fictional heroes are filling a growing moral gap in society.

Get the business guide Demystifying AI, free, at https://Netsuite.com/MODERNMBA New York City is the most competitive pizza market in the country. Millions descend upon the city daily in search of the best slice, and national chains together account for less than one out of every ten pizzerias. With a slice shop on every block, competition is minutes away. Differentiation isn’t strategy - it’s survival. But if your shop can rise to the top, the upside is limitless. Your pizzeria becomes a bucket-list destination for tourists, a local institution with lines around the block, and a springboard for global expansion. No one behind the counter has ever talked shop on the record - until now. We spoke to legacy institutions, big names, and newcomers across the city. They’ll let you film but almost no one, especially the old-school Italians, would talk numbers. The old guard want to preserve the mystique of their generational recipes and gatekeep insight while newcomers don't know if they’ll survive the winter. The business of a New York City pizzeria - the strategies, financials, and insight behind these multi-million dollar empires has never been revealed... until now. To get a true macro view, we scraped all 15,000 pizzerias ever opened in California and New York and verified each manually to build the first accurate snapshot of the American pizza industry in its two biggest markets. In this Modern MBA episode, we go boots on the ground across Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Los Angeles to reveal what it really takes to win in the pizza business. ============================= Featured Businesses ============================= 🍕 POP'S PIZZA (Nick & Ricky) https://www.instagram.com/popspizzanyc/ Location (57th St): https://maps.app.goo.gl/vAdhj8k3k3ktZxyb9 Location (42nd Ave): https://maps.app.goo.gl/VQSdhqDJDZzGn4f89 Location (840 8th Ave): https://maps.app.goo.gl/vuEokHYcofgkCc3y8 🍕 MOTORINO (Mathieu) https://www.motorinopizza.com/ https://www.goldbelly.com/restaurants/motorino-pizzeria https://www.instagram.com/motorinopizzanapoletana/?hl=en Location (Brooklyn): https://maps.app.goo.gl/JYQPz71E2LVaiehm9 Location (UWS): https://maps.app.goo.gl/wfaxZuHhR1PTdFWYA Location (EV): https://maps.app.goo.gl/EQ45sosu2mFJZbeM8 🍕 LITTLE DYNAMITE (Courtney & Kyle) https://www.littledynamitepizza.com/ https://www.instagram.com/littledynamitepizza/ Location (LA): https://maps.app.goo.gl/ECgo9Hbz9rTgPoSeA 🍕 ABBOTT'S (Richie) https://www.abbotspizzaco.com/ https://www.instagram.com/abbotspizzaco95/?hl=en Location (LA): https://maps.app.goo.gl/VMn7tkLTmnhk3EKA6 ============================= Modern MBA Resources - these are the tools that we’ve vetted and use to fuel our growth. ============================= 💰 Find the best credit card for you (60 secs, 5 questions, no email required): https://cards.moneymatchup.com/modernmba/yt 🚗 Get the cheapest car insurance: https://secure.moneymatchup.com/auto-mba 👉 Invest with a full 1% transfer bonus with Public: https://secure.moneymatchup.com/public-mba 👉 Save 30% on first 6 months of QuickBooks: https://secure.moneymatchup.com/quickbooks-mba 👉 Get $100 cash when you run payroll with Gusto: https://secure.moneymatchup.com/gusto-mba 👉 Launch your side hustle with a LLC for $0 https://secure.moneymatchup.com/zenbusiness-mba ============================= Support Modern MBA - we're 100% independent, self-funded, and committed to making business education free to all. ============================= ☕ Tip: https://buymeacoffee.com/modernmba ☕ Patreon: https://patreon.com/modernmba 🤳🏻 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@modernmba 🤳🏻 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/modern.mba/ 🤳🏻 Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/modernmba/

There are few business sectors that have collapsed as dramatically as cannabis. Once projected to generate billions in new business, radical social reform, job creation, and rapid growth, the industry has devolved into a commoditized race to the bottom. But these days, with competition everywhere, profits have collapsed and no one has been able to figure out how to compete at scale on anything besides price. From one angle, this was just a case of too much supply for too little demand. From another angle, commoditization was always inevitable. But market correction shouldn’t mean collapse. What’s left today is just business - regulated, fragmented, ruthless, and perfectly competitive where only the smartest survive. Every industry has its gold rush. For cannabis, the “Green Rush” started in 2012 when Colorado and Washington became the first U.S. states to legalize recreational marijuana. As more states and countries joined in after 2012, every link in the value chain—from farming to retail—was up for grabs. Startups burned through millions in venture capital, building fast and talking big. When Canada legalized marijuana in 2018, it gave these same companies the means to pump-and-dump weed stocks. But just because the corporations are losing money, doesn’t mean everyone else is. While they’re hemorrhaging cash, local, self-funded dispensaries are quietly surviving. For them, profit isn’t a future goal—it’s a mandate. California is the world’s largest and most competitive cannabis market. In 2023, $5.1 billion of legal cannabis was sold in the Golden State, with another $8 billion moving through the black market. Los Angeles County alone reigns as the highest-grossing market, with 5 to 10 times as many sales as any other county in the state. In this Modern MBA Original, we go from the macro-to-micro to analyze the economics of legal cannabis from the global corporations all the way to three independents in the world’s most competitive market. ============================= Modern MBA Resources - these are the tools that we’ve vetted and use to fuel our growth. ============================= 💰 Find the best credit card for you (60 secs, 5 questions, no email required): https://cards.moneymatchup.com/modernmba/yt 🚗 Get the cheapest car insurance: https://secure.moneymatchup.com/auto-mba 👉 Invest with a full 1% transfer bonus with Public: https://secure.moneymatchup.com/public-mba 👉 Save 30% on first 6 months of QuickBooks: https://secure.moneymatchup.com/quickbooks-mba 👉 Get $100 cash when you run payroll with Gusto: https://secure.moneymatchup.com/gusto-mba 👉 Launch your side hustle with a LLC for $0 https://secure.moneymatchup.com/zenbusiness-mba ============================= Support Modern MBA - we're 100% independent, self-funded, and committed to making business education free to all. ============================= ☕ Tip: https://buymeacoffee.com/modernmba ☕ Patreon: https://patreon.com/modernmba 🤳🏻 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@modernmba 🤳🏻 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/modern.mba/ 🤳🏻 Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/modernmba/

The modern Pokémon card market is a mass-market phenomenon unlike any other–part hobby, part investment, and part cultural revival. While sneakers and Labubu dolls became cold, transactional secondary markets driven by exclusion and exploitation, the Pokemon card scene has thrived on community spirit. Pokémon cards have reached record value across the board as the ones that were worth tens or hundreds just 2-3 years ago have reached thousands this year. Even though personal profit is the primary motive - information and insights circulate openly. Personal wins and losses get documented publicly. Veterans act as teachers and historians as much as traders, broadcasting their experiences, tips, and philosophies online before they even have audiences. Vendors operate like long-term enterprises rather than short-term flippers, leaning into relationships, personality, and education rather than product to drive sales. All of these help blunt the learning curve for newcomers and reinforce a culture of camaraderie rarely seen in secondary markets. With record prices, appreciation, and sales volume, the line between hobby and business has rapidly disappeared. In this Modern MBA Original, we go boots on the ground to understand what it takes to succeed beyond blind luck in this unpredictable, volatile market - through the eyes of Riki, a savvy part-timer who earns just under a $250,000 a year dealing cards on the side, and Jason, an elite globe-trotter who pulls in nearly a million dollars as one of the leading sellers of Japanese exclusives. ============================= Featured Businesses ============================= 🦄 OYAMA's TRADING (Riki) https://www.youtube.com/@oyamastrading https://www.instagram.com/oyamastrading https://www.oyamastrading.com https://www.ebay.com/usr/oyamastrading 🦄 SLOW DOWN (Jason) https://www.ebay.com/str/jplusjcollection https://jasonsposts.substack.com/ https://www.youtube.com/@slowdownthankyou https://www.instagram.com/slowdownthankyou/reels/ ============================= Modern MBA Resources - these are the tools that we’ve vetted and use to fuel our growth. ============================= 💰 Find the best credit card for you (60 secs, 5 questions, no email required): https://cards.moneymatchup.com/modernmba/yt 🚗 Get the cheapest car insurance: https://secure.moneymatchup.com/auto-mba 👉 Invest with a full 1% transfer bonus with Public: https://secure.moneymatchup.com/public-mba 👉 Save 30% on first 6 months of QuickBooks: https://secure.moneymatchup.com/quickbooks-mba 👉 Get $100 cash when you run payroll with Gusto: https://secure.moneymatchup.com/gusto-mba 👉 Launch your side hustle with a LLC for $0 https://secure.moneymatchup.com/zenbusiness-mba ============================= Support Modern MBA - we're 100% independent, self-funded, and committed to making business education free to all. ============================= ☕ Tip: https://buymeacoffee.com/modernmba ☕ Patreon: https://patreon.com/modernmba 🤳🏻 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@modernmba 🤳🏻 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/modern.mba/ 🤳🏻 Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/modernmba/
