Please welcome Dan Spokojny, the founder of FP21, a research and advisory group focused on reforming the State Department's conduct of U.S. foreign policy.

Dan started on the hill, working on congressional policy, then as a diplomat for the State Department.

Since then, he formed FP21 to help the State Department improve its organization and processes.

A quick note: I found that the introduction had a gap. One of the voice channels fell out, so on 27 July I updated a corrected version. Sorry about that. This is part I of a two-part episode, so let's get started.

One CA is a product of the Civil Affairs Association and brings in people who are current or former military, diplomats, development officers, and field agents to discuss their experiences on the ground with a partner nation's people and leadership.

We aim to inspire anyone interested in working in the "last three feet" of U.S. foreign relations. 

To contact the show, email us at [email protected],  or look us up on the Civil Affairs Association website at www.civilaffairsassoc.org
