New North Ventures invites you to attend - the High Consequence Leadership Summit Fall 23' in Virginia Beach, VA-home to Naval Special Warfare Group 2 and its SEAL Teams 2, 4, 10, 8, and 18. We are bringing top performers from business innovators, the special operations community, and world-class athletes to discover the overlap between these groups. Our model is a powerful intersection between the commercial world and national security, but we equally enjoy identifying parallels to success. Whether you are a world-class athlete, an innovative startup founder, or serving our country in austere environments—preparation, grit, and an ability to see opportunities in chaos is what consequential leadership is all about. The summit will include panels with high caliber speakers and opportunities to explore topics highlighted in Brett Davis' article We Need Consequential Leadership at all Levels in Momentus Times.

Preparation, grit, and an ability to see opportunities in chaos is what consequential leadership is all about.

Intellectual Property Protection Bill Signed Into Law

  • President Joe Biden signed into law a bipartisan bill that seeks to protect U.S. intellectual property by imposing economic penalties on companies and individuals involved in IP theft.

  • “In China and other countries across the globe, foreign corporations are working – often in coordination with authoritarian regimes – to steal our cutting edge technologies to gain unfair advantages at America’s expense.”

  • The Protecting American Intellectual Property Act, requires a congressional report that identifies a firm or individual that has provided support for theft of U.S. trade secrets, especially if the theft poses a threat to U.S. national security, economic health, foreign policy or financial stability.

  • At least five sanctions will be imposed on any firm identified in the congressional report and individuals identified in the report will not be permitted entry into the U.S.

Hack Russian Files Reveal Propaganda Agreement with China

  • In 2021, government officials and media executives from Russia and China discussed the exchange of news and social content.

  • Documents found in a trove of hacked emails from Russia state broadcaster show that China and Russia have pledged to join forces in media content that supports both countries’ agendas-an ideological pushback against the U.S. as the joint enemy.

  • A bilateral agreement signed July 2021 makes clear that cooperating on news coverage and narratives is a big goal for both Russian and Chinese governments.
