Jeremy lead the Office of Foreign Disaster Assistance at USAID during much of Obama's second term and we discuss how the US responded to some key disasters, including the ebola outbreak.

We kick off discussing what he saw there before pivoting to discuss some of the major global crises in which his career has intersected. ---BE A HERO: Support the Show! Unlock Bonus Episodes!
