Welcome to Episode 3 of Good Will Hunters! In this episode, I interview Beth Eggleston, the Co-Director of the Humanitarian Advisory Group. We discuss humanitarian emergencies, IKEA, entrepreneurship, disaster capitalism, Google, and what exactly an “unsolicited bilateral donation” is - it’ll make you laugh and cringe - plus loads more! Enjoy and as always, please share your feedback on our social media channels. I’d love you to join the discussion!
