Leighton Smith Podcast #340 -August 5th 2026 - Patrick Basham

Let’s be honest, there’s a lot going on in the world - so much so that it’s difficult to keep pace.

Take America for example. A transformation is underway that has not yet been fully recognised for what it is or what it could become.

The same may be said of Australia, England, much of Europe and beyond.

If that sounds exaggerated, then this week's discussion with Patrick Basham will be of interest.

The days of “that will never happen here”, wherever ‘here’ may be - are drawing to a close.

As usual, we visit The Mailroom with Mrs Producer.
