This week, I have the pleasure of speaking with Maryann Fernandez and Paul McKibbin, co-founders of Shaking the Tree Interactive Productions, an independent educational nonprofit that uses theater and interactive audience forums to teach family dynamics and to promote philanthropy. Maryann is currently Managing Director at Strategic Philanthropy Ltd. and has worked in wealth management and philanthropy for over 25 years, including at the UN World Food Program's Regional Bureau for Asia and the Pacific and Harris Private Bank. Paul is a Managing Director in Ernst & Young's Americas Family Office Advisory practice, and prior to that was a Managing Partner at Family Office Metrics and the Founder and President of Private Family Networks. Maryann and Paul reflect on the challenge they perceived back in 2000, when they founded Shaking the Tree, with how families and their advisors were approaching and addressing family dynamics issues. They describe how and why they reached the conclusion to apply theater and dramatized productions to family dynamics and share the reasons why this creative approach is often more effective than more traditional ways of engaging family members during difficult or transitional times. Over the years, Shaking the Tree has amassed an impressive online library of videos illustrating different situations and case studies. Maryann and Paul talk about how families and advisors can make use of this resource and apply these case studies in the work they do with their family members. Beyond simply using the existing inventory of online videos, Maryann and Paul also shed light on the other theatrical and creative tools and methods that families and their advisors can deploy to engage and educate family members more effectively, including creating their own original video content to utilize within their family structure and broader family enterprise. Please enjoy this illuminating conversation with two of the most experienced and creative veterans in the space of engaging and educating multigenerational family members.

Welcome to What Matters Now, a weekly podcast exploration of one key issue shaping Israel and the Jewish World — right now. On Tuesday, aid for 25,000 people reached Gaza City in the northern Gaza Strip for the first time in weeks, according to the UN World Food Program. “With people in northern Gaza on the brink of famine, we need deliveries every day and we need entry points directly into the north,” tweeted the UN agency after the aid's successful entry. Israel's Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) confirmed that a convoy of six aid trucks entered the northern Gaza Strip through the new military road. The route, stretching from the border near the southern community of Be'eri to the coast of the Strip, is used by the Israel Defense Forces to carry out operations in northern and central Gaza. The successful delivery of the aid was “part of an experimental pilot in order to prevent Hamas from taking over the aid,” said COGAT. UN World Food Program chief Cindy McCain said on Monday that WFP had paused aid deliveries for three weeks “for the safety of our staff and due to the complete breakdown of law and order.” As Gazan gunmen raid aid trucks and abscond with necessary supplies, what is Israel's legal obligation to protect the conveys? This week, as humanitarian aid is being brought into the Gaza Strip by land, air and sea, we ask Haviv Rettig Gur, what matters now.

You're listening to a Special Release episode of Insight Myanmar Podcast. In the aftermath of Operation 1027, a pivotal military action initiated by the Three Brotherhood Alliance, and further supported by a coalition of ethnic fighters and PDF units, Myanmar is undergoing a transformative moment and so we are launching this series in response.Our guest is Matthew Arnold, an academic and independent policy analyst specializing in politics, governance, and peace and conflict, with extensive experience in Myanmar and a background encompassing roles at The Asia Foundation, academic research, and with the UN World Food Program in various conflict zones and humanitarian crises.Arnold notes that Myanmar now stands at a critical juncture, marked by 33 months of both armed and peaceful resistance against military dictatorship. He describes how Operation 1027, executed by competent and strategically inclined Ethnic Armed Organizations (EAOs), reflects a carefully considered move based on the evolving trajectory of the conflict. In his view, the junta, facing widespread and entrenched resistance, lacks the depth to recover, evidenced by its inability to launch significant counter-offensives.To Arnold, the pro-democracy resistance, a bottom-up revolt evolving into a national uprising for federal democracy, remains steadfast despite criticisms and flaws. The junta's brutal tactics have ignited an unquenchable fire of revolution, and its continued atrocities are unlikely to shift the tide. Arnold boldly predicts that the democratic movement, now viable and ascendant, is poised for outright victory within the next 3 to 6 months, shaping a post-conflict peace that, while potentially messy, is distinguished by social goodwill and solidarity among the Myanmar people.Amid calls for international support, Arnold urges an open-minded approach, emphasizing Myanmar's potential for positive collective change and dismissing notions of irreparable fracture. In his view, Operation 1027 serves as a catalyst, signaling a ray of hope in a dark world, inviting contemplation, preparation, and celebration of the impending collapse of the genocidal junta.

This is the web version of Foreign Exchanges, but did you know you can get it delivered right to your inbox? Sign up today:Friends, for family reasons and also because of my own mental exhaustion I will be taking a longer than usual break from the newsletter for this year's Thanksgiving holiday. The newsletter will be going quiet following Thursday's roundup and will return to our regular schedule on Tuesday, November 28. As I've written before here I can always tell when it's time for me to take a bit of a break from the newsletter and the truth is we probably passed that point around three or four weeks ago so I'm running on fumes. Thanks for reading and for supporting this venture!TODAY IN HISTORYNovember 14, 1965: The Battle of Ia Drang, the first major engagement between the United States and the North Vietnamese Army, begins. It ended on November 18 with both sides claiming victory, though the NVA's ability to fight the much better armed US Army to a draw was a boost to their morale and probably the battle's most important effect.November 14, 2001: Fighters with the Northern Alliance rebel coalition enter and occupy the city of Kabul, marking the end of the US war in Afghanista—just kidding. I had you going there for a second, didn't I?INTERNATIONALWith deaths due to “extreme heat” projected to increase five-fold by 2050, according to The Lancet Countdown, you'll no doubt be pleasantly surprised to learn that an AP investigative report shows that the “green transition plans” being formulated by most major fossil fuel companies are not green, not transitional, and not even really plans. Without any serious government pressure to force them to invest in genuinely renewable technologies, these firms are able to do things like, say, classify natural gas development as a “green” investment. That's absurd, of course, but who's counting?The main problem with these plans has long been, and continues to be, the fact that fossil fuel companies exempt the products they sell when assessing their progress toward “net zero” carbon emissions. Firms only account for “Scope 1” emissions, which are their direct carbon outputs, and “Scope 2” emissions, the indirect output that results from their production process. The emissions that ensue when people burn the products they sell are considered “Scope 3” and energy firms disavow any responsibility for them. Like tobacco companies, they argue that what the customer does with their products is the customer's business, not theirs. Maybe people just want to buy a barrel of oil and place it in their foyer as a conversation piece or put it to some other use that doesn't emit carbon. Who's to say?MIDDLE EASTISRAEL-PALESTINEEarly Wednesday morning Israeli forces began what they called “a precise and targeted operation against Hamas in a specified area in the Shifa hospital” involving “medical teams and Arabic speakers, who have undergone specified training to prepare for this complex and sensitive environment, with the intent that no harm is caused to the civilians.” There are hundreds of patients and thousands of other people who have been trapped in the hospital by the IDF and the chances that “no harm” will come to any of them in the next several hours are probably slim. Israeli officials have been insisting that Hamas's lair is located underneath the hospital but at this point it's too soon to know if that's the target or if this is a more limited operation. This is a developing story so there's not much more I can say about it at this time.What I can say is that the Biden administration gave a green light to this operation earlier in the day, when White House spokesperson John Kirby told reporters that the administration has “independent intelligence” (which is code for “we didn't get this from the IDF”) that “Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad use some hospitals in the Gaza Strip — including Al-Shifa — and tunnels underneath them to conceal and to support their military operations and to hold hostages.” According to Kirby this intelligence shows that the militant groups have a “command and control” center in Shifa and “have stored weapons there.” Kirby insisted that that the administration was not endorsing an Israeli attack on the hospital, but anybody with ears to hear or eyes to read what he said should have no doubt as to what the intent was.I wrote everything below prior to news of the Israeli assault breaking so some of it might no longer be relevant but I think most of it still is:Gazan health authorities said on Tuesday that some 40 patients at Shifa—three of them babies—have died since that facility ran out of generator fuel on Saturday. Without electricity the hospital cannot maintain its incubator units and so there are now 36 newborns who are at critical risk. With the IDF surrounding the hospital it's also become impossible to transfer the dead to a cemetery, so personnel are planning to bury some 120 bodies in a mass grave on site. Gazan officials have proposed evacuating the facility under the auspices of the Red Cross/Red Crescent and sending its remaining patients to Egypt but there had been no movement on that front at time of writing. The Israeli government has apparently offered to send the hospitals more incubators, a fascinating attempt at a humanitarian gesture that would be completely pointless because the problem isn't the incubators, it's the electricity.In other news:* David Ignatius at The Washington Post reported (I use that term loosely) on Monday that “Israel and Hamas are close to a hostage deal.” With the caveat that if David Ignatius told me the sky was blue I'd glance out the window to double check, the terms he reported are that Hamas would release (or facilitate the release) of the women and children that it and other Gazan militant groups took hostage during their October 7 rampage through southern Israel. This would be done in stages and be matched by the release of Palestinian women and children being held by Israeli authorities. It would also involve a ceasefire of unspecified duration but “perhaps five days” according to Ignatius. The ceasefire could allow some time to address humanitarian issues in Gaza though I don't know what that would entail and whatever it was would almost certainly be inadequate.* Israeli Foreign Minister Eli Cohen met with International Committee of the Red Cross President Mirjana Spoljaric Egger on Tuesday and later told reporters that the ICRC has had no access to the aforementioned hostages. It's highly unlikely that the Israelis would agree to anything involving hostages without at least proof of life, so this could be a big sticking point with respect to the potential prisoner deal outlined above. Families of the hostages, meanwhile, are marching from Tel Aviv to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's residence in Jerusalem to pressure him to take some action to secure the hostages' release.* Israeli occupation forces killed at least eight Palestinians in the West Bank on Tuesday, seven of them in Tulkarm. The IDF carried out a drone strike in that city, an occurrence that's still relatively rare in the West Bank though it's certainly become more common over the past year and in particular the past month.* Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich issued a statement on Tuesday endorsing what he laughably termed the “voluntary emigration of Gaza Arabs to countries around the world.” I guess “leave or die” is a choice, right? A couple of Israeli politicians floated this idea on Monday in a Wall Street Journal editorial that was less a serious proposal than a written middle finger to Western critics of the Israeli military campaign. That piece didn't go into extensive detail about what a mass relocation would look like—again, it wasn't meant as a serious proposal—but Smotrich's intent is much easier to guess, and that's the permanent ethnic cleansing of Gaza and the relocation of its population as far away from Israel as possible. Smotrich, whose ministerial brief also includes running the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories office, isn't part of Netanyahu's “war cabinet” but that doesn't mean he's completely lacking in influence.* The US and UK governments on Tuesday announced new sanctions targeting Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad members along with a Lebanese entity that allegedly facilitates money transfers from Iran to Gazan militant groups. This is the third round of sanctions the Biden administration has imposed since October 7. Also on Tuesday, over 400 employees of the Biden administration sent a joint letter to their boss, Joe Biden, expressing opposition to the administration's approach to the Gaza conflict.YEMENHouthi rebels say they fired another barrage of missiles toward Israel on Tuesday. There's no confirmation of this, though the IDF did say that its air defenses downed a single missile near Eilat that we can probably assume was of Houthi provenance. The leader of Yemen's Houthi movement, Abdulmalik al-Houthi, delivered a speech on Tuesday pledging that his rebel fighters would continue attacking Israel. In particular, Houthi suggested that they could target Israeli commercial vessels in the Red Sea, which would certainly be an easier target for them than Israel itself.IRAQA Turkish drone strike killed two people, both allegedly members of the Sinjar Resistance Units militia, in northern Iraq's Nineveh province on Monday evening. The Sinjar militia was formed in 2014 with assistance from the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) and is still allied with that group, which makes its personnel potential targets for the Turkish military.Elsewhere, the Iraqi Federal Supreme Court removed two members of the Iraqi parliament on Tuesday, one of whom just happened to be speaker Mohammed al-Halbusi. It's not clear why, though another MP named Laith al-Dulaimi had reportedly sued Halbusi alleging that the speaker forged Dulaimi's name on a resignation letter. Dulaimi was, as it happens, the other MP who had his term ended by the court (I assume that's not a coincidence). The ruling created a potential political crisis for Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shiaʿ al-Sudani. As speaker, Halbusi was Iraq's leading Sunni Arab politician, and his support was important to Sudani's government. Three members of his Progress Party quit their cabinet posts after the court ruling and it remains to be seen how that will impact Sudani's position.ASIAAFGHANISTANAfghan Commerce Minister Haji Nooruddin Azizi apparently visited Pakistan this week, where—according to the Afghan government—he pressed Pakistani Foreign Minister Jalil Abbas Jilani on the issue of all those Afghan migrants the Pakistani government is presently deporting. Specifically it sounds like Azizi raised the issue of allowing deportees to at least take some of their money and/or possessions to Afghanistan with them. Deportees are currently arriving with nothing and are being housed in what are effectively refugee camps—leaving aside the incongruity of being a “refugee” in one's home country—on the Afghan side of the border.MYANMARReports on Monday only hinted at some new fighting in western Myanmar's Chin state, but as more details are emerging the situation there sounds pretty serious. According to the Chin National Front, rebel fighters had by the end of the day seized two Myanmar military outposts and were working to seize control of the Myanmar-Indian border. According to Indian media the fighting has sent some 2000 people streaming across that border to escape. In neighboring Rakhine state, the rebel Arakan Army has also been seizing military outposts and authorities have imposed a curfew in the state capital, Sittwe, as a result. Rebel factions across Myanmar have launched new offensives in recent weeks, starting with the “1027” (for October 27) operations by the Myanmar National Democratic Alliance Army and the Ta'ang National Liberation Army in Shan state. Myanmar's ruling junta is clearly struggling to mount a response.CHINAJoe Biden told reporters on Tuesday that his main goal in meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping in San Francisco this week is to restore “normal” communications between their governments. In particular this would involve a return to regular military-to-military contacts, something Beijing ended in the wake of former US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's visit to Taiwan last year. Any prospect of resuming those contacts was complicated by the fact that former Chinese Defense Minister Li Shangfu was under US sanction. But as he's no longer defense minister that complication is no longer an issue.AFRICALIBERIALiberian voters turned out on Tuesday for the second round of that country's presidential election, pitting incumbent George Weah against Joseph Boakai. Both candidates finished with just under 44 percent of the vote in last month's first round. Such a close finish might augur poorly for the incumbent in a head to head matchup, though that's just one of many factors that could sway this vote in either direction. Polls have closed in that contest but I have yet to see anything by way of preliminary or partial results.MALIMali's ruling junta says its security forces have seized control over the northern town of Kidal after battling with rebels in that region for several days. The Malian military and mercenary auxiliaries marched on Kidal after United Nations peacekeepers vacated the region as part of their ongoing withdrawal from Mali. Kidal has been a rebel stronghold since the initial northern Mali uprising in 2012 and government control there has been nebulous at best since then. There's been no comment as far as I know from the rebels and it's unclear what their disposition is at this point.ETHIOPIAAccording to Addis Standard, Fano militia fighters attacked a predominantly Oromo community in Ethiopia's Amhara region last week, killing at least 25 people and displacing some 3000 into the Oromia region. The Fano militia is still battling the Ethiopian government but Amhara paramilitary groups have also made a pastime of preying on ethnic Oromo communities (likewise, Oromo militias have preyed on ethnic Amhara). In this case they apparently demanded grain from the community and attacked after residents refused to comply.On a more upbeat note, the US Agency for International Development is reportedly planning to resume food distribution across Ethiopia next month under a “one-year trial period.” The agency suspended its Ethiopian food program earlier this year amid allegations that the aid was being diverted. It resumed providing food aid to Ethiopian refugees last month and is now planning to spend the next year testing whether procedural changes adopted by aid groups and the Ethiopian government are enough to stop that alleged diversion. Solid data is hard to come by but it's possible that hundreds or thousands of Ethiopians have died because of the decision (which the UN World Food Program joined) to suspend food aid.DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF THE CONGOThe death toll from Sunday's Allied Democratic Forces attack on a village in the eastern DRC's North Kivu province has risen to 33, according to provincial officials. ADF fighters are also believed to have been responsible for attacking a village in neighboring Ituri province on Tuesday, killing at least 11 people.EUROPERUSSIAVladimir Putin signed a new law on Tuesday that permits elections to be held even in parts of Russia that are under martial law. This apparently clears the way for the portions of Ukraine that Moscow claims to have annexed to participate in next year's presidential election. The effect will be to try to stitch those regions a little more tightly to Russia and complicate any possible return to Ukrainian authority.UKRAINEThe European Union promised back in March to supply the Ukrainian military with 1 million 155 mm artillery shells within 12 months. You'll never guess how that went. German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius told a meeting of EU defense ministers on Tuesday that the bloc isn't going to fulfill its commitment and even went so far as to criticize the fact that it was made in the first place. The will was apparently there, but EU member states still don't have the collective capacity to churn out that many shells that quickly. The effort has apparently sparked a boost in production capacity but not enough to meet the 12 month deadline.SWEDENSweden's NATO accession may be moving slightly forward, as the Turkish parliament's foreign affairs committee will take up the issue on Thursday. It's been about three weeks since Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan submitted Sweden's accession to parliament and it should be clear by now that the folks in Ankara are in no particular hurry to work their way through that process. There may be some impetus on the part of other NATO members to have the issue resolved in time for the alliance foreign ministers summit on November 28, but Erdoğan has proven himself to be fairly impervious to that sort of pressure in the past.AMERICASUNITED STATESFinally, TomDispatch's William Hartung wonders whether the “Arsenal of Democracy” really cares all that much about the “democracy” part:The list of major human rights abusers that receive U.S.-supplied weaponry is long and includes (but isn't faintly limited to) Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain, Egypt, Turkey, Nigeria, and the Philippines. Such sales can have devastating human consequences. They also support regimes that all too often destabilize their regions and risk embroiling the United States directly in conflicts.U.S.-supplied arms also far too regularly fall into the hands of Washington's adversaries. As an example consider the way the UAE transferred small arms and armored vehicles produced by American weapons makers to extremist militias in Yemen, with no apparent consequences, even though such acts clearly violated American arms export laws. Sometimes, recipients of such weaponry even end up fighting each other, as when Turkey used U.S.-supplied F-16s in 2019 to bomb U.S.-backed Syrian forces involved in the fight against Islamic State terrorists.Such examples underscore the need to scrutinize U.S. arms exports far more carefully. Instead, the arms industry has promoted an increasingly “streamlined” process of approval of such weapons sales, campaigning for numerous measures that would make it even easier to arm foreign regimes regardless of their human-rights records or support for the interests Washington theoretically promotes. These have included an “Export Control Reform Initiative” heavily promoted by the industry during the Obama and Trump administrations that ended up ensuring a further relaxation of scrutiny over firearms exports. It has, in fact, eased the way for sales that, in the future, could put U.S.-produced weaponry in the hands of tyrants, terrorists, and criminal organizations.Now, the industry is promoting efforts to get weapons out the door ever more quickly through “reforms” to the Foreign Military Sales program in which the Pentagon essentially serves as an arms broker between those weapons corporations and foreign governments.Thanks for reading!

Rob Metcalfe's guiding principle is that leadership is not just an individual pastime; rather it needs to be embedded at all levels within and across organisations so those closest to the need can meet it in an aligned and autonomous way. This belief stems from his career in the military where alignment between Headquarters, Operations Rooms and the person on the ground is so vital, whether on conventional or alternate activities. The strength of this belief was forged in both peacetime activities and operational theatres that included the Falklands War and various roles in Northern Ireland.Since then, he has dedicated his career to enabling leadership at every level through consulting, facilitation, training and coaching. He encourages people to think and respond through the lens of self, others and the system, proactively and consciously choosing where their focus should be. This is achieved by creating clear goals alongside simple habits and routines that enable consistency between a person, team or organisation's inner and outer games.This experience includes 14 years as CEO of LIW, expanding the organisation from start up to global leadership consultancy, preceded by 14 years as an officer in the Royal Marines Commandos. More recently he spent 3 years as a Partner with Denali Venture Partners and he now operates as an associate and investor to his previous organisations, as well as an independent consultant to a small number of other purposeful organisations across sectors and throughout the world. He is motivated by organisations that have a positive impact and has recently concentrated on working with the UN World Food Program across Africa and the Middle East including working with leadership teams and operational leaders in Yemen, Iraq, Sudan, Syria and Somalia. He also works with the Kids Cancer Project in Australia who are dedicated to saving childrens' lives though investment in cancer research.Rob and his team held the world building abseil record in 1992 for scaling to, and abseiling from, the upper deck of the CN Tower in Toronto, alongside a team from the Canadian School of Rescue Training. He was also “Mentioned in Dispatches” during his service, acknowledging that this was due to the efforts of the leaders and the people he had the good fortune to command.Rob sees how neuroscience is proving what was previously only a belief about good leadership practice. Many of his top tips are based on this truth. His top tip for your reflection is to “do whatever you want but know what you are doing”. He picked this quote up from someone else and has since observed that it is often not the case! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Olga Tokariuk, an independent journalist, is a fellow at the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism in Oxford, England and a non-resident fellow at CEPA (Center for European Policy Analysis). Her professional interests include international relations and disinformation research. She details how resilient the Ukrainian people and military have been in confronting a more powerful Russian military. The former Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin tried to destroy the identity of Ukraine; much the same way Putin is. Putin felt emboldened to invade Ukraine because he received no repercussions for his aggressive behavior in Chechnya, Georgia and the Crimean Peninsula. Major efforts should focus on continuing sanctions and aid, and combatting the propaganda campaign by Putin to use a myriad of disinformation techniques, such as humor, to undermine Ukrainian resistance and Western resolve. The incoming Republican House of Representatives' leaders have indicated that the US aid will be reduced and there will not be a “blank check” to confront Russian aggression, although no “blank check” currently exists.

David Beasley discusses the global food crisis, including how the UN World Food Program is working to respond to increasing global food insecurity as a result of the conflict in Ukraine.

“Swimming the Volga” is a distinctly personal account written by Brigadier General Peter B. Zwack {Ret.} that begins in 1989 (in the waning years of the Cold War) when as a young army Captain, he received both a Soviet visa and US approval to study Russian at a regional university in Kalinin. This occurred in Russia over the turbulent 1990s just before the rise of Vladimir Putin. General Zwack also highlights how the Russian “state of mind” has changed from 1989 to today, whether the US and Russia are moving to a new Cold War, unexpected consequences of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, revitalization of NATO, red lines to avoid World War 3, and how—even with the UN Security Council being semi-paralyzed-- several United Nations agencies are playing a vital role in Ukraine, such as the UN World Food Program (WFP) , UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR), UN Children's' Fund (UNICEF), as well as his suggestions for ending the Ukrainian-Russian conflict.

UN World Food Program head David Beasley announced yesterday that global food rations for refugees will need to be cut in half due to the unprecedented food crisis. How much of this crisis is man-made as the elites use food as a weapon in what has turned out to be a futile effort to punish Russia? How much of the food and energy crisis is actually being cheered by those pushing the "green" agenda? Also today: Slovakia miffed that Germany won't replace junky Soviet tanks sent to Ukraine with shiny new German models for free.

Darrell Castle talks about food and what is causing the supply chain disruptions around the world. He asks if the world's food supply really is approaching crisis conditions. Transcription / Notes IS FAMINE IN OUR FUTURE? Hello this is Darrell Castle with today's Castle Report. This is Friday the 22nd day of April in the year of our Lord 2022 and my discussion today will be about something none of us can live long without and that is food. What is causing the supply chain disruptions around the world and is the world's food supply really approaching crisis conditions. Governments across the Western World are starting to sound the alarm about a crisis in the supply chain especially in food. They blame the war in Ukraine for most of the problem just as they blamed COVID for the collateral damage that it caused. It is obvious, however, that the real culprit, is not so much the war as it is the reaction to the war. Just as the COVID lockdowns caused the economic devastation, severe economic sanctions placed on Russia are causing much of the supply chain problems the world is facing. American politicians seem to be incapable of facing the fact that they have overplayed their hand with the sanctions imposed on Russia. Instead of deterring Russia, the sanctions have accelerated Russian and Chinese efforts away from the dollar as reserve currency for the world. For that and other reasons I contend that the U.S. sanctions policy is doing more harm to the U.S. and Europe than it is to Russia. Russia formerly provided about 10% of the world's oil supply so now that is effectively removed from the world market. Europe gets, or previously did get, about 40% of its natural gas from Russia. Perhaps even more ominous is that Russia is a very large supplier of wheat, fertilizer, and other components of the world's food supply. Right now, with the agricultural system that has been in place since chemical fertilizers started to dominate the world, it is extremely difficult to grow enough food without those fertilizers. A simple fact then, that anyone but an American politician can see, is that it is not possible to destroy Russia, or to cut it off and isolate it from the global economy without causing severe damage to supply chains and food production around the world. In addition, as we all know, the U.S. relies on the dollar's status as the world's reserve currency to maintain its financialized dominance over the world. Much of the world is now frantically working to end that reserve currency status and leave the U.S. financialized economy holding 30 trillion of debt. Dire conditions already exist in food supply chains for much of the world. The head of the UN World Food Program has warned that this will be the worst food crisis since World War Two. Joe Biden has admitted as well that coming food shortages are real. I suppose the alternative for him would be the Baghdad Bob approach of you are not seeing this. Unfortunately, world events are coming together to accelerate the crisis and make it a lot worse. If the nations of the West were to suddenly reverse course and make an all-out effort perhaps in time it could be reversed, but that does not appear to be happening. The COVID lockdown policy in China has now spread to so many Chinese cities that an estimated 400 million people are locked down or at least partially locked down. That is more people than the entire population of the United States. That number represents about 40% of the entire domestic production of the world's second largest economy. Chinese lockdowns are harsher than in the West and who knows what the long-term economic fallout will be.  For one thing, the Chinese economy, supplier to the world, is grinding to a halt and like a giant ship, once stopped, it takes a while to restart and gain momentum. Chinese lack of production effects even our food supply. We don't realize it perhaps, but a great deal of our food processing is done in China.

At a very young age, Max Finberg knew that his purpose and calling would be to end world hunger - in the spirit of Matthew 25:35-42 "For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in…" From working as a staffer for former Ohio Congressman Tony Hall, to following Congressman Hall to the UN World Food Program; and now as President and CEO of Growing Hope Globally, Max inspiring story and faith journey embodies the Spirit of Jesus of Nazareth. On the day of the annual National Prayer Breakfast, which brings together men and women from both political parties and of different faiths in that same Spirit - Sean and Chris engage Max in a fascinating discussion of the ongoing crisis of world hunger and the innovative and entrepreneurial ways to eradicate this global problem. https://www.growinghopeglobally.org/ #AgreeOnSomething #GrowingHopeGlobally #WorldFoodProgram #NationalPrayerBreakfast Listen to full episodes of Light Beer Dark Money on Spotify, Apple Music, or Youtube.

Keri and Carter host a discussion with Tony Kinnett, curriculum developer, educator, and STEM coordinator in Indianapolis, and co-founder of Chalkboard Review. The discussion exposes how Critical Race Theory (CRT) continues to be implemented by school systems, even when district representatives insist otherwise. Tony exposes why teachers are leaving and how schools are unwilling to suspend disruptive or even dangerous students. He recommends considering trade school instead of college, and gives advice to parents about how to push back on the implementation of CRT ideology. Once Tony departs, Keri recounts her time at the Better Discourse Conference over the weekend. Together with Carter, she laughs at an article in Today's Parent that attempts to smear "babywearing" (e.g. using a Baby Bjorn) as a form of cultural appropriation. To close out the show, they review the UN World Food Program's recent challenge to Elon Musk, which Musk promptly accepts (much to the UN's embarrassment).

As America prepares to celebrate Thanksgiving, the UN World Food Program is warning that famines of “biblical proportions” may be coming because of the economic impacts of coronavirus. How can you protect yourself from COVID-19? You can do more than wash your hands and wear a mask. We’ll look at how to avoid getting it—and help your body recover if you do get it—by boosting your immune system through exercise. The Thanksgiving holiday recalls some wonderful U.S. history. This month marks 400 years since the first pilgrims landed in the Plymouth Colony under Gov. William Bradford. We look at an important lesson learned by those early Americans. I conclude with some thoughts from Herbert W. Armstrong in 1945 on why even democracy fails.

Daily news brief from Al Jazeera offering a fresh perspective on Your World.

USA Today breaks down revelations that six members of a militia group were arrested and charged with plotting to kidnap Michigan governor Gretchen Whitmer. The Texas Tribune reports on the recent voting rule changes in its state. And the Hill writes about concerns that some of these changes could lead to voter suppression. The UN World Food Program is the winner of this year’s Nobel Peace Prize. CNN has the latest. National Geographic reports on efforts to reintroduce the critically endangered Tasmanian devil to mainland Australia for the first time in 3,000 years.

Today, a conversation about how the coronavirus pandemic is creating not only hotspots for the virus, but new epicenters of hunger in countries all around the world. Millions of people, already suffering because of armed conflict, climate change, poverty and broken food supply systems, are now at greater risk for starvation. The United Nations reports that there are nearly 60 million more people who are under-nourished now than there were in 2014. Arif Husain is the chief economist at the UN World Food Program. He estimates that by the end of this year, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the number of people experiencing acute hunger in the world could increase by as much as 80 percent, to more than a quarter of a billion people. The relief group Oxfam says that could mean as many as 12,000 people around the world dying every day from hunger -- a death rate higher than that from COVID-19 alone. To understand how hunger relief organizations are responding to this deepening crisis, we begin today with Haydee Diaz, the Head of Programs in Uganda for Catholic Relief Services. She joins us via Zoom from the Ugandan capital, Kampala. Then, Tom is joined by Sean Callahan, the CEO of Catholic Relief Services and a 31-year veteran of the Baltimore-based agency… and Daniel Speckhard, the former US Ambassador to Greece and Belarus who now serves as the CEO of Baltimore-based Corus International, a family of agencies that includes Lutheran World Relief and IMA World Health. Joining us by Zoom, the relief-group leaders discuss the ongoing efforts of their organizations to alleviate poverty and hunger in developing countries, problems that have been seriously exacerbated by COVID-19.

There are durable returns to be found in deep research. So if you're taking the time to integrate a full understanding of environmental, social, and governance issues in your investments, you will tend to end up with innovative and enduring solutions just by doing the work. So in this episode, we decided to spend some time with a significant, oft-neglected issue: food systems. We were fortunate to have Ambassador Ertharin Cousin on hand to direct our exploration. Named one of Time Magazine’s 100 most influential people, she was previously Executive Director of the UN World Food Program, which is the world’s largest humanitarian organization. She is also a visiting scholar at Stanford and the Founder/CEO of Food Systems for the Future, which invests in and provides services to market-driven food and infrastructure enterprises to improve nutrition outcomes for low income communities. We’ve excerpted some of her comments after the message below, but you should really listen to the whole thing. We’re pleased to announce the launch of the Free Money Atelier, which makes beverage and apparel solutions previously reserved for only the largest institutions available to the general public.

On the aggregate size of the food system and its economic value: “Let's look at it from an economic standpoint. FAO estimates that the gross value of agricultural production is over $5 trillion. The World Bank says it's closer to $3.2 trillion. Whichever number, it's a big number. And the world bank also suggests that the system generates two to five times as much value off-farm between farm and consumer as it does on-farm. In the United States for every dollar spent on food by the U S consumer 11 cents, is accounted for in farm activity. And all of the other value is in the middle. So the estimated value of the global food system post farm to consumer is about $8 trillion or 10% of the $80 trillion global economy.” (26:52) On the types of investments that might be attractive to pension funds: “We know that we need investment in more foods that will meet cultural demand, but also healthier outcomes for populations. And there we have seen how how plant based proteins coming online have brought in additional have brought in significant revenue to those asset managers who have invested in that space. But those products are not coming online in support of the consumers that we are most concerned about who are most detrimentally impacted by the food system today.” (33:23)On what individuals can do to address food insecurity: “Many of your listeners are high net worth individuals, we need their support to invest in organizations like FSF, like Root Capital and Acumen and others who are working to address these challenges with new market based tool that will deliver evidence that is required to grow the agricultural productivity of our food system in a manner that is sustainable. And as I said, not just for the affluent, but for everyone.” (37:10) Get on the email list at freemoney.substack.com

The pandemic has disrupted food pathways and underscored the importance of equitable access to nutrition, at the same time as more families in the U.S. face food insecurity. In this episode we speak with two inspiring leaders who have dedicated their careers to addressing domestic and global food insecurity. Catherine Bertini and Ertharin Cousin are Distinguished Fellows at the Chicago Council of Global Affairs, and former Executive Directors of the UN World Food Program. We ask them: How have U.S. food banks, schools, and communities responded to the challenges the pandemic has posed in getting food to people? And, how can food supply chains become more resilient to ensure that communities have stable access to nutritious food? // Music and sound effects in this episode are licensed through Envato Elements.

We’re your hosts, Marc Ketchel and Larry Holmes, and today we’d like to share our reflections, insights, and thoughts about what’s next and how to make the most of the current situation. This is a short conversation but one we hope will give you some perspective and add value to your life. What we discuss is how a simple shift in viewpoint can help each of us, in our own way, get the most of the current circumstances and make the process of going forward more fulfilling and rewarding. Show NotesJane Goodall “COVID19 has shown us that we are all connected…Many people feel helpless right now, but they must stay hopeful that they can influence one another through compassion and understanding.” Jane Goodall and Her Chimps – 60 minutesEpisode #20 Joe Smith – The Transformative Power of BreathResources, Tips, and SolutionsPower of Gratitude - Gratitude uplifts (you and others), inspires others to act compassionately Dalai Lama on Compassion – Time magazine article Transformative Power of Selfless ServiceIn the process of spiritual awakening, the act of selfless service is one of the most mysteriously transformational acts we can do in this life. Identify at least one frontline worker; healthcare worker, grocery store workers (often the lowest paid in your community). Find out what you can do to make their life easier or more enjoyable or in some way relieve the unimaginable stress and anxiety they live with day and night. It might be contributing to meals for healthcare workers program or to their family in your community or nationally, make face masks for them (they don’t have the time to make them and they are not being supplied adequately in most cases). Reach out to one that you know and ask them what you can do to help them and tell them how much you appreciate what they are doing. Importance of Food Banks and the Impact of HungerHere’s a startling fact from David Beasley, Executive Director of UN World Food Program, 260 million people are on the brink of starvation right now globally, 300k per day will die today.Focus globally is you have the resources or locally with these resources: Feeding America Food Bank Network – 200 Food Banks across the USA.Bread of the Mighty Food Bank - In our local food bank, $1 feeds 10 meals, which is a huge value for the $1. Not to mention the goodwill and karmic merit that accrues. Importance of Social Distancing and Wearing Face MasksSocial distancing is the most effective way to ensure your health and that of others. Wearing a mask is the second most effective way. Use a homemade mask to cover your n95 mask (if you are lucky enough to have one) to extend its life and save those resources.

Our careers are messy things, full of surprises and unknowns. Amy’s career path takes off in the kitchen, evolves into the restaurant consulting business, and shifts again as when she decided to go back to school in her 30s. She ends up in Brussels and later working for the UN World Food Program. Now, she leads a nonprofit, among other roles. We talk about professional reinvention, finding your path after an international adventure, and how to make sense of all your skills as your career evolves. We get real honest about the ups and downs of finding yourself after a career transition. Listen to this if your career doesn’t fit into a tidy box or if you just love a good adventure story. Notable show quotes: " I had a bit of an epiphany that was like, wow, all the times that I have struggled in life is when I'm really trying to struggle against being something that I'm not and trying to fit into this box that doesn't speak to me. It just occurred to me that I need to stop doing that." "A lot of people were like, you're starting from scratch. And actually I'm not. The skills that you develop as a chef, like your project management tools, your ability to work with huge crews under massive amounts of pressure, are huge assets, especially when you're working in different cultures and new environments constantly. It is the kind of skill set you need if you work at the United Nations."

We are so excited to have Lauren Bush Lauren on the show today. Lauren is a social entrepreneur who has helped provide over 100 million meals for the hungry. She is a model, designer, actress, entrepreneur, mother, and Doro's niece. In college, she worked with the UN World Food Program and saw the effects of poverty and world hunger firsthand. She also has a love for design. By founding FEED, she was able to merge her love of design, fashion, and entrepreneurship with the important cause of alleviating childhood hunger. She is married to David Lauren and is also a mother. In this episode, we talk about how work and life aren't separate, how being a mother is different than she expected, what FEED is doing now, and more.

Lori Golberg is an Arizona wife and mother from an affluent neighborhood known as Paradise Valley.  She is also a philanthropy powerhouse.  Goldberg made it her mission to get outside of her comfort zone.  Her charity, Global Family, works to rescue from poverty as many children as possible in a place she fell in love with years ago — Haiti.  Not only has Goldberg changed the lives of hundreds of children, she has pushed friends and family out of their comfort zones and into new awareness about life and love. Podcast Transcript Carey Pena: Hey everyone, it's Carey Pena. Glad to have you with us today. “When you dare to step out of your comfort zone and simply believe that you can make a difference, you will be led down paths you've never imagined.” That is a quote from Kim Hupke after she did a volunteer project with Global Family. The founder of Global Family, Lori Goldberg, is with us in studio today. Lori, thank you so much for being here. It's great to see you. Lori Goldberg: It's great to see you and thank you for having me. Carey Pena: Kim Hupke volunteered with you back in 2010, and like so many people who've gotten involved with your great organization, she says it was life-changing. She went on to say in this quote, “Global Family gave me the opportunity to dare to step out of my comfort zone and I am forever changed.” What's your reaction to that quote? Lori Goldberg: It brings me so much joy, because that is my goal, for every volunteer to go into the trip with an open heart and an open mind, and experience all the country has to offer. Carey Pena: Let's talk about what Global Family is and how it all began. It really began with you stepping out of your own comfort zone. You came up with the idea in 2008 when you and your husband shared what you call, your Haiti, with your two daughters. What do you mean by your Haiti? Lori Goldberg: Well, there are so many things about Haiti that are so personal to me. The sights, the smells, the people. My senses come alive when I'm there. People welcome you with open arms, and they smile, and they laugh, and they're happy to see you. They know that you're there to be with them and believe in them. But, sharing it with our daughters, we went into it not knowing what to expect, whether it would be really challenging for them, because they were young, or if it would be the most beautiful thing in the world. We were just so blessed to have an incredible experience with them, that they just went with the flow. They were somewhat overwhelmed with things and with people wanting to be close to them, because there aren't a lot of children that travel to Haiti. It was a really wonderful experience for them that just opened our hearts to the idea of sharing it with more families and more individuals. Carey Pena: I know people have asked you over the years, “Why Haiti? Why did you choose Haiti?” Do you have a good answer for that, or is it something that just spoke to you? Lori Goldberg: Something spoke to me. The people spoke to me, especially the children. When I first went, I was there to support schools and education programs, and I really didn't realize how many orphans there are in Haiti. Not true orphans, just parents giving their children up, because they can't afford to care for them. They'll put them in an orphanage, so they have a better life, and get to go to school, and have more opportunity. Carey Pena: This is what has been really impactful to me over the years as I've watched Global Family grow, because you have such a personal connection to this mission. A lot of women and men do charity work, and I think that is beautiful. Anyone who steps outside of their comfort zone and does charity work should be commended. But something about your level of involvement really struck me. You live in a beautiful house. You live in an affluent neighborhood. You never had to get involved in doing this. But not only do you raise the money … I want people who are listening to know more about you. You go there regularly. You go out yourself on missions that are potentially hazardous to your own health. You rescue children from … I remember one story where you rescued a little girl from a gutter or something, correct? Lori Goldberg: Clara. She is still with us. Carey Pena: You went down there … Tell me that story. Lori Goldberg: Well, a police officer told us about a little baby girl, a newborn, that was born, and it was next to the river. The mother was mentally and physically disabled, and they said that there was no hope for this little girl unless someone could rescue her, and take her to the hospital and take her in. We found Clara. She was in a very small makeshift tent on the floor, dirt floor. Her aunt was helping to care for her, because her mother, I think, was having issues feeding her. She had never seen the light of day. She was five days old when we rescued her. Carey Pena: What was that like emotionally, for you to see a baby just sort of discarded in that way? Lori Goldberg: Emotionally overwhelming, that there was no way … Whatever we had to do, we were going to save her, and bring her into our family and into our home. She's the most resilient little thing that you'll ever meet. Carey Pena: How old is she now? Lori Goldberg: She's four. Carey Pena: She's four years old. Lori Goldberg: She's just full of everything. Carey Pena: Well, the funny thing about you, I want the listeners to know, is you are a very tiny little woman. How tall are you? Just a tiny slight little woman. Lori Goldberg: I like to say almost 5′ 4″. Carey Pena: Okay, so we'll give you 5′ 4″. But the thing is, is when you go down, when you go to Haiti, you really open a can of whoop you know what, because you are not messing around. You're there to save as many children as possible, and you guys actually have built a home. This is what I love. You started Global Family, and you started going on these missions, and then you decided to do something sort of very tangible and organized. Tell me about this home that you built. Lori Goldberg: Well, the home that we built is for the neediest children. We have had children that have come in and stayed with us, and we've just fostered them, and then successfully reunited them with their family, because often times there are so many stories that come with children, that someone will say they don't have living parents, but they actually do. We really want people to know that if we can help you, if we can give you opportunity, create a small business for you, we want your child to be with you, we don't want you to have to give your child up. But, the home that we built is really all about growing our family. We bring volunteers down there regularly. We have so many repeat volunteers that are madly in love with our children. Our kids get so excited to see them. They have ongoing relationships with them. It's a beautiful thing. Carey Pena: Lori, how have you dealt with the criticism over the years when people say, “Why aren't you putting the money here at home? Why aren't you opening an orphanage here at home, or putting your money into kids who need help in the United States?” Lori Goldberg: It's a really tough question, and it's hard for me to answer, because you really have to experience Haiti firsthand to understand the need there. It is so great. It is all about survival, and for these children, and the elderly that we help, it really is a matter of life or death, because everybody's trying to survive. Carey Pena: It was made so much worse in 2010. I believe that was the year of the devastating earthquake, magnitude 7.0, that struck Haiti, killing more than 160,000 people, displacing close to 1.5 million people. When I read that statistic, I had to read it a few times, because to wrap your brain around 1.5 million people being displaced. Five years later, a lot of scars remain in Haiti. The citizens there are still dependent on housing and medical aid. According to a stat from the UN World Food Program, 100,000 children under the age of five suffer from acute malnutrition. What do you see when you go down there? Describe it to me. Lori Goldberg: You see children that aren't clothed, they're barefoot. The malnourished children have lighter hair and big bellies. Because they don't have clean drinking water, most of them have parasites, which are eating all the nutrients if they are getting any food. But sadly, Haitians are lucky to have one meal a day, and our children have three meals a day, and they're healthy, and flourishing and thriving. But, it's very desperate. Carey Pena: There's been some criticism over the years. Since this earthquake, a lot of money was raised to try to help the Haitian people, but there is a certain level of corruption there. How have you been able to cut through that and try to protect your own efforts? Lori Goldberg: Well, with us, everything is a firsthand experience. We deliver our donations to our projects. We're there regularly, so we're not shipping things, and we're sending things directly to our family members that manage our projects. But it is a very challenging place to work, because of the corruption. Carey Pena: I want to talk to you about the emotional aspect of this. When you go to Haiti and you see this level of poverty, this level of struggle … And you are known I think as Momma Lori there. I mean, how do you return to the states to your beautiful house, to your great life, which you and your husband have worked so hard to have, but how do you return and not feel a level of guilt? How do you come back and not think about every single child there? I would just want to just bring them all back with me. Lori Goldberg: I do come home, and it is a big adjustment, and a very emotional one because I miss them. But I realize that creating change from within and empowering this generation could be the solution for Haiti, through education, through love, through positive relationships and role models. It's a country that's been forgotten, and it hasn't had great leadership, and it's a very challenging place. But I will say that Haitians are generally very happy people. Very, very happy. Carey Pena: What does that tell you about the human spirit, when you're in a place like Haiti and you meet a mom. I know a lot of the stories I've read, the photojournalists who've gone to Haiti and documented, particularly since the earthquake. It's amazing to me to see the resilience of the human spirit, that you see a mom, who's a single mom, who's got three, four children, and they're living basically in shambles, and barely any food, like you said, no clothing. But there does seem to be a sense of happiness. Is it a very religious place? Lori Goldberg: It is a religious place. The strength that Haitians have, it really blows me away. There can be a storm and your entire home could be flooded, and they're outside waving. They're just use to living this way. Unfortunately, we are so spoiled that we can't even wrap our mind around something like that, that how could your home be flooded and you could still be happy and waving? We'd be going crazy. Carey Pena: Yeah. What has this taught you? Have you sort of had to gut check, because you know as women, we like clothing, we like fashion. Does it come a point where you feel like, “Enough. I don't need so much more stuff.” Lori Goldberg: Definitely. I will say that it has given me a new perspective. What's important to me is really my family and the people that I love, and good health, and helping others. It's not about things, it's about people. Carey Pena: I want to talk to you about some of the creative ways that you have raised money and filled needs over the years, including Chicks For Children. I think this is so great. Tell us about this. Lori Goldberg: Chicks For Children is about chickens, building chicken coops and sharing the gift of what a chicken can actually do. It's a campaign that should alleviate hunger, and help people build a business, and provide good nutrition to their family members. Carey Pena: How does it work? Lori Goldberg: Well, we actually love to share chickens and build coops for those in need. What we do is we provide training to them on how to raise chickens. They have to commit to share the offspring and help them create a little business, so they can understand what this one chicken can do, and what it can provide to their family and to the community. Carey Pena: Where are you doing this, Chicks For Children? Lori Goldberg: Well, we're doing it in Haiti, but we also just built a coop here in Phoenix at Starshine Academy. Carey Pena: Oh, how wonderful. Lori Goldberg: It's wonderful. Carey Pena: That's great. You are doing some projects here at home as well and spreading your love here locally. You also have had some success with pop-up stores, and I know a lot of charities are often trying to figure out ways to raise money. Tell folks how you have been able to navigate a pop-up store. You said the last time you did it, you raised enough money to send an entire crate of medical supplies to Haiti. Lori Goldberg: Yes. Carey Pena: Tell us more about that. Lori Goldberg: Well, the pop-up is really fun, because who doesn't want to buy merchandise and support a great cause? But, our current pop-up is at the Scottsdale Waterfront, and the space was donated to us from the Waterfront. Then, we've also had so many shoes donated through Shoe Biz San Francisco, High Point, Adrian Wilson. Carey Pena: Adrian Wilson is so great. The Cardinals player Adrian Wilson, yeah, he's wonderful. Lori Goldberg: He's wonderful. He's been there for us through and through. Carey Pena: He's helped you guys a lot, right? Lori Goldberg: A lot. A lot. He participated in our pop-up three years ago. He came to our galas. He's a wonderful man. Very humble, very kind, very giving. Carey Pena:                  I'm glad you brought that up too, because I find often times a lot of professional athletes are really out there doing some tremendous things that they don't have to do, and that they are not asking for credit. So often all we hear is the one story of an athlete who does something bad and it gets tons of press, but at the same time there are so many athletes out there doing wonderful things. I'm glad you brought up Adrian Wilson. The pop-up store is going for how long? Lori Goldberg: It's going through the end of the month. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday this weekend and next. Carey Pena: Where can people find out more information? Lori Goldberg: On our website, www.globalfamilyphilanthropy.org. Carey Pena: All right. I want to read a few more quotes that I thought were beautiful about your effort. One of them says, “The poverty in Haiti is inconceivable. It scars one's heart. The Haitian people are so beautiful and so in need. I am proud and honored to have been a part of a phenomenal team of volunteers that made a difference in their lives.” Another quote here, “Everything we have and everything we enjoy is due to the kindness of others. Every happiness there is in the world results of others' kindness. Because of Lori and Global Family, that happiness is with me forever. Thank you for falling into my life, and giving me and my children the opportunity to make a difference.” That is from Stacey Webb who volunteered with you back in 2011. I see you tearing up over there. Why does it make you so emotional when I read these? Lori Goldberg: Oh, it makes me feel good. Stacey is a sister to me and she is family. Most of the volunteers that travel with us, they become part of this Global Family. It's really a beautiful thing, and just to know that she had that experience and her children have had it, just warms my heart. Carey Pena: Well, it strikes me that your mission is not just about going to Haiti and helping people. You are also expanding the views and the hearts of all of the volunteers who have worked with you, who have done work with you over the years, and that's pretty tremendous. For you personally, how has this changed you as a person? Lori Goldberg: It's my way of life now and it's my priority. For my daughters, I want it to be their way of life, that think about others, put others first. Carey Pena: Let me ask you Lori, because you're a very frank-speaking woman, you tell it like it is. For your daughters, because you have two beautiful teenage daughters, and teenagers can be teenagers, it's hard sometimes to get them to connect with an effort that is more than just, “Hey, we're going to the mall,” and this, that and the other, social media. “Let's post a bunch of pictures about ourselves.” Have you been able to break through that with your daughters? Lori Goldberg: Somewhat. I mean, I will be honest, they are teenagers and they're girls, but they're amazing young women. They're strong young women. They have shared Haiti with many of their friends, and it's something that they're very proud of and it's important to them. They love our children, and our children are their siblings. Carey Pena: You've been doing this now since, what do we say? When did you start? 2008? Lori Goldberg: Yes. Carey Pena: Seven years now. When I ask you this question and you think about five, ten years down the road, what is your hope for Global Family and your mission? Lori Goldberg: Well, we are in the process of setting up college funds for our children, so they can either receive a higher education, or a trade school. But, at some point I'd love to have them come visit, just visit, because I want them to go back and be members of their community. But I see us having a place where we can spend more time in Haiti. When my daughters are in college, I'd like to live there part-time. Carey Pena: For you, knowing that you have gone outside of your comfort zone to really do something to make this world a better place, how does that make you feel? Lori Goldberg: It makes me feel good. It makes me feel really good. It's really hard, but it makes me feel good. Carey Pena: What personally inspires you to keep going every day, even in the hard times? Lori Goldberg: All the little faces and the smiles, and the people that love us and that we love. Carey Pena: One more time, where can people find you? Lori Goldberg: On our website, www.globalfamilyphilanthropy.org. Carey Pena: I encourage people to go there and check out all of the things that Lori's doing, because this little lady right here, 5′ 4″ in her heels, is packing a punch. I just think your amazing. People like you inspire me. I appreciate you being here today. Lori Goldberg, thank you so much. Lori Goldberg: Thank you Carey.     The post Arizona Mom Goes Global Through Philanthropy appeared first on Inspired Media 360 TV - Inform | Inspire | Engage.
