in the Grey Zone™ with Oriane Cohen
I share unfiltered intelligence drawn from the intersection of war zones, boardrooms, and global affairs. Ideas that make you think. Ideas to shift your perception.
Your brain picks up weak signals: from people, systems, power structures.
But no one ever taught you how to process them, trust them, or use them.
That's why you feel scattered. Overstimulated. Alone.

Once you see, you can't unsee. Once you understand how the Grey Zone works, and how to navitage it, you'll never tolerate noise again.

Lessons for analysts from a rare case of social engineering at the elite level
