## Resource

For many years, it was understood that investing in other countries wasn't just a moral imperative—it was a strategic necessity. But that wisdom seems to have been forgotten, or at least ignored. In this episode, we shed some new light on it with Michelle Nunn, President and CEO of CARE, and Richard Stengel, CARE’s Co-Chair, Together, they reveal how the systems that shape our world are deeply interconnected and why rethinking aid is essential to building a more prosperous future for all.
