Welcome to the One CA Podcast. In this episode, we set up a new remote studio for Brian Hancock. It was the first run, so you will hear some background noise, but it was a terrific conversation about Civil Affairs work at the 4-star level command and some of our work in Europe and Africa, so stay tuned.

In this episode, Mr. Carlos Dias from Global Integrity interviewed me on anti-corruption programs I have been working on for Civil Affairs and DOD. I also turned the tables on him to discuss current events and his experience growing up on the border of Columbia and Venezuela. This one is slightly different because I was interviewed, but it would make a great show.
