Recently, I organized a panel discussion on Taiwan with the Joint Staff SMA program (Strategic Multilayer Assessment), which is similar to a think tank but within the DOD. 

They bring in people to present their work and discuss national security.

I had reached out to Dan Blumenthal and Fred Kagan at the American Enterprise Institute and decided to include SMA in the discussion. 

Mariah Yager is running the SMA portion, and I am guiding the discussion.

This is a two-part episode, so enjoy. 

One Podcast aims to inspire people interested in working on-ground to forward U.S. foreign policy. 

We bring in people who are current or former military, diplomats, development officers, and field agents to discuss their experiences and recommendations for working the "last three feet" of foreign relations.
