How They Learned: Binto Bali about understanding violence

This is the most extended episode to date as we were lucky enough to sit down with Binto Bali, just a week before he traveled to northeastern Nigeria, where he will be working for the United Nations as a Protection Officer.

Amongst many enriching insights, this conversation takes us around the world as we track Binto's journey from growing up in the suburbs of Stockholm to going "back home" and connecting with his roots. He studied peace and conflict in London, CouchSurfed in Iran while writing his master's thesis, and then joined an international humanitarian organization called Nonviolent Peaceforce in South Sudan.

It was great catching up with an old friend and hopefully a future minister of some sort. Enjoy this conversation, and don't forget to subscribe for more!
