Bayarsaikhan Ganzorig grew up in Mongolia in the Ger District without running water or electricity, a type of shanty town established by nomadic herders who fled from the countryside after their herds were victims to one of the latest weather events to plague the area. And my next guest is someone who is eager to share all sides of his home country.

He's the mastermind behind the YouTube channel called Real Mongolia. In this episode, he shares the contrast of growing up in the Ger district with city life, how constant internet connection is both disrupting traditional ways of living & allowing him to share his culture online & why he feels the true path to progress must include hard truths.
