The D'Est webage is here, and you can learn more about the Bear Market brief here (substack) and here (podcast).

The podcast's corporate partner and sponsor is Conducttr, which provides software for innovative and immersive crisis exercises in hybrid warfare, counter-terrorism, civil affairs and similar situations.
