EP 50: Unlearning Fear & Living with Courage with Steve Chao


Listen Later

Steve Chao is an Emmy-nominated documentary filmmaker, investigative journalist, and former war correspondent who has spent over two decades reporting from some of the world's most dangerous locations.

As a presenter & reporter for Al Jazeera, Steve has covered pivotal moments in history, including the surrender of the Taliban in Kandahar, Afghanistan following the 9/11 attacks, the Mumbai terrorist attacks, and the Cairo clashes during the Arab Spring.

Driven by his mission to give a voice to the voiceless, Steve has risked his life to shed light on injustices and crucial topics. He has gone undercover as a priest to expose corrupt officials within the United Nations and governments, uncover the illicit drug production in the Golden Triangle, and even embedded with President Rodrigo Duterte, to examine his controversial war on drugs.

In this illuminating, inspiring and wildly action-packed conversation, Steve brings us behind-the-scenes on life as an investigative journalist and what it takes to uncover a story. He also unpacks what it means to unlearn fear, how his Faith drives his purpose, and shares his advice on how we can live with courage in our everyday lives.
