When Americans Are Abducted Overseas (with Jere Van Dyk) - Change Agents with Andy Stumpf

HVMN – You can find Ketone-IQ at https://hvmn.com/changeagents to save 30% on your first subscription.
Jere Van Dyk is a Pulitzer-nominated journalist and U.S. Army Veteran.
While working as a correspondent for The New York Times, he was embedded with the Mujahideen during their fight with the Soviet Union. He returned to Afghanistan after 9/11 as a CBS News reporter, and in 2006 he became the only journalist to go up into the mountains near the Pakistan border to the site where U.S. Army Ranger, Pat Tillman, was killed. His professional journey took a turn in 2008 — he was traveling through the Tribal Areas of Pakistan, in its borderlands with Afghanistan, and was held captive for 45 days. The incident is recounted in his critically acclaimed book, "Captive: My Time as a Prisoner of the Taliban" https://www.amazon.com/Captive-Jere-Van-Dyk/dp/080508827X/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=
Years later, while researching links among the Haqqani Network, ISIS, the Taliban, al-Qaeda, and the Council on Foreign Relations, he returned to the area to find who was responsible for his kidnapping. This trip inspired his book, "The Trade: My Journey into the Labyrinth of Political Kidnapping." https://www.amazon.com/Trade-Journey-Labyrinth-Political-Kidnapping/dp/1610394313

Escaping the Rohingya Genocide (with Abu Talib)
Abu Talib is a member of Burma’s Rohingya refugee. According to the U.S. State Department, “On March 21, 2022, following a rigorous factual and legal analysis, the Secretary determined that members of the Burmese military committed genocide and crimes against humanity against Rohingya. Since the Holocaust, the United States has concluded only seven other times that genocide was committed. This determination marks the eighth.”
After Abu Talib spending weeks at sea, he was able to escape Burma, and became a refugee in Sri Lanka. Today, he has resettled to the United States as a citizen and helps other members of the Rohingya community navigate the citizen process.
On this episode of Change Agents, Andy talks to Abu Talib about the situation in Burma, his journey to the United States, and ways that the community can be helped.

Reclaiming the American Supply Chain (with Origin USA’s Pete Roberts)
HVMN – You can find Ketone-IQ at https://hvmn.com/ and use promo code ANDY at checkout to save 20%
Today on Change Agents, Andy Stumpf sits down with Origin USA’s CEO Pete Roberts. Along with making high-quality apparel, one of Origin’s goals is to “reclaim” the American supply and to bring manufacturing back to the USA from countries like China. For nearly a decade, they’ve operated looms in the U.S. and woven its own fabric from raw cotton, grown here. And, as he explains, the stakes for the future of the American supply chain are higher than many realize.
