With dozens of overseas deployments in the wake of natural disasters, wars, and both underserviced and politically charged areas of the world. 

One of the biggest takeaways from this interview comes from looking at people at a human or individual level, beyond their conditioning or current events. Empathy and compassion are two things we should embrace locally and globally.

I gained a lot of perspective about life and death beyond my very privileged existence, and I love how curious Ian is about people and learning. Plus, we talk about the multi-billion dollar industries that are fueling and creating a lot of these gaps in human rights. 

We don’t solve the world's problems, but we talk about some of them, which is a beginning.

I hope this episode encourages you to broaden your worldview.
