7 THINGS that actually matter

In a world drowning in headlines, this is your weekly lifeline to sanity.

Each Thursday, I sift through the global noise to deliver the seven developments that genuinely warrant your attention – decoded with wit, context, and zero fluff.

What you’ll get:

  • Geopolitical chess moves that will reshape tomorrow’s landscape

  • Economic power plays beyond the breathless market headlines

  • Cultural shifts that signal deeper currents of change

  • All delivered with a distinctly British sensibility

Designed for the intellectually curious, time-starved professionals who value substance over sensation.

No agenda. No panic merchants. Just clarity.

It’s free – unsubscribe whenever your appetite for intelligent analysis mysteriously vanishes.


About Adrian

I’m Adrian Monck, a former journalist, professor, and WEF board member with an unhealthy obsession for recognising patterns in chaos. After decades of watching how information shapes our world – from frontlines to boardrooms – I’ve developed a knack for separating signal from noise.

This newsletter is my weekly AI-assisted attempt to make sense of a world that increasingly defies easy explanation.

Consider it your intellectual shortcut from someone who's spent his career translating complexity into clarity.
