  • Today we welcome Patrick Alley, co-founder of Global Witness.

    Patrick Alley and his team at Global Witness are credited with countering multiple autocrats and kleptocrats worldwide.

    The most notable is collapsing the Khmer Rouge by exposing the illegal timber trade that was bankrolling the rebels.

    They created the Blood Diamond campaign to counter the De Beers diamond cartel and multiple rebel groups in Africa that used the conflict to fund some of the most brutal civil wars in the late 1990s.

    Their findings were also critical for getting the UN Security Council to impose sanctions on Charles Taylor in Liberia and trials for crimes against humanity.

    Patrick and Global Witness conducted similar operations in Europe and the Americas before he retired and published his first book, Very Bad People in 2022, and now his second book, Terrible Humans, which is available online and will be in bookstores around mid-August.

    This is part two of a two part episode with Mariah Yager from SMA to cohost the discussion on DOD Integrated Influence.

  • Today, we welcome Pavlo Kukhta, Ukrainian Economist and Special Advisor on Reconstruction. Additionally, Mariah Yager from SMA joined me as cohost of the conversation.

    We brought in Pavlo to discuss the current state of conflict reconstruction, the strategy for post-conflict reconstruction, and how to overcome challenges like balancing government oversight with designing a system that removes major corruption while managing Ukraine's transition into the EU.

    I set up this interview because I know that many diplomats, aid workers, and servicemembers are focused on helping Ukraine now and after the conflict.

  • Today, we welcome back Major Gustavo Ferreira, a Civil Affairs agriculturalist. Gus originally came on episode 123 to discuss agriculture's impacts on foreign policy.

    Gus has published two articles, "Does China Have Enough Food to Go to War?" and "Taiwan's Food Resiliency—or Not—in a Conflict with China."

    After publishing, Gus was interviewed on this show, which resulted in an interview with the Economist, a session at the Center for Strategic and International Studies,

    and now resulting in a congressional testimony with the U.S. China Economic and Security Review Commission. Gus was joined by two others but for this episode, I will only focus on his testimony and discussion with the commission. I'll include links for the full testimony and papers in the show notes.

  • Please welcome Retired Lieutenant Colonel Scott Mann.

    As a Green Beret, Scott designed and led the local village stability operations program in Afghanistan.

    After leaving the military, he began to focus on using his experience with the struggle of transitioning from a fast-paced and high-risk lifestyle to build a healthy transition to the civilian world of work and family. As a result, he launched "Heroes Journey" to help servicemembers, first responders, and their families cope with post-crisis trauma through storytelling.

    Scott also wrote and featured in the play and film "Last Man Out," which portrays the impacts of war on our Veterans and their families

    Additionally, after Kabul fell to the Taliban, Scott and others launched Task Force Pineapple Express to help Afghan partners leave the country.

    Lastly, Scott has made three appearances on TEDx to discuss his work with veterans and first responders and is announcing his new book, "No One is Coming to Save You," which will be released in October.

    This discussion is split into two separate episodes.

    The first one is to discuss Scott's work prior to the book "No One is Coming to Save You," which airs in October. The Second episode releases in September and is a discussion and the book.
