Inspiring Stories, Full of Heart

Great podcast and exactly what I needed to hear today to counter the heaviness of the news. Christopher is a masterful storyteller who shines a light on people doing good work. I began with the Carl Henn episode and was drawn right in, could envision his Peace Corp/NGO work in Africa and was on the edge of my seat through some of his harrowing (and heartbreaking) experiences. Then I listened to Pamela White. From her determination to join the Peace Corp as a young woman to her appointment as U.S. Ambassador to The Gambia and Haiti, her story is one of a trail blazing change maker. These first-person stories feel uplifting as Christopher shows why U.S. engagement in the world matters and how foreign aid and assistance actually helps make the United States stronger and more stable. Highly recommend.
