Season 6, Episode 4. Marisa Goldsteinis Counsellor at the World Trade Organization (WTO).

Marisa Goldstein is an experienced lawyer who has worked in the Legal Affairs Dvision at the WTO for many years, and she has certainly left her mark.

I have known her since the beginning of my career in International Trade, and she is a well-known and well-liked figure in the community. We have collaborated a couple of times and even raced in the same races.

In our conversation, we delved into her career, law school, international relations, and the fascinating journey that led her to Geneva. We also explored the impactful work she's been doing at the WTO, including the upcoming 22nd edition of the John H. Jackson Moot Court Competition with the European Law Students' Association (ELSA). We discussed the challenges she faced, the lessons she learned, and her advice for aspiring international trade practioners. Her career path is truly inspiring.

My conversation with Marisa was a delightful and insightful experience. I am thrilled to share it with you and I'm sure you'll find it as engaging as I did!

"WTO Sco is back with a bang in ""Super,"" a high-energy track that pulsates with raw intensity and lyrical finesse. Produced by Nephew Jay & Aye YB, this song weaves through heavy beats and intricate melodies, setting the stage for an unforgettable auditory experience. From the heart of Richmond, VA, WTO Sco channels the gritty essence of street life into every bar, painting vivid pictures with words.

As the track kicks off with a commanding beat at 147 BPM, listeners are immediately drawn into its infectious rhythm. The energy level sits at a powerful 8, making it perfect for both high-energy workouts and late-night drives. The cue points, meticulously placed, guide the listener through a sonic journey – from the first instrument's echo to the bass line's entrance, each element is crafted to perfection. ""Super"" isn't just a song; it's a statement, a testament to WTO Sco's evolving artistry under We The Ones Entertainment.

WTO Sco's lyrics paint a vivid picture of life on the streets, with lines like ""I got them bricks for 17 but you gotta be super gang"" and ""I'm super hot, hot, hot, hot, you can look but don’t touch,"" showcasing his lyrical prowess and street-smart mentality. This track is more than just music; it's an anthem for those who hustle and strive for greatness. We The Ones: wetheonesent@gmail.com | https://linktr.ee/wtosco   "

ตั้งแต่ปี 2018 ประเทศจีนภายใต้การนำของประธานาธิบดีสี จิ้นผิง เชิดชูนโยบายส่งเสริมการค้าเสรี และปกป้องระเบียบการค้าโลกภายใต้กรอบกติกาของ WTO แต่สหรัฐอเมริกาตั้งแต่สมัยประธานาธิบดีโดนัลด์ ทรัมป์ จนถึง โจ ไบเดน กลับมองว่ากฎเกณฑ์ของ WTO ทำให้อเมริกาสูญเสียผลประโยชน์ ต้องการยกเครื่องจัดระเบียบเรื่องนี้ใหม่ นี่จึงกลายเป็นการปะทะกันของสองขั้วอำนาจทางเศรษฐกิจที่หลีกเลี่ยงไม่ได้ ดร.วิทย์ สิทธิเวคิน เล่าให้ฟังในรายการ เศรษฐกิจติดบ้าน ค่ะ

Season 6, Episode 6. Pablo M. Bentes is a partner at Baker McKenzie Geneva and heads the firm's global WTO disputes practice.  

I've known Pablo for a while and I even shared his office while at the WTO's Appellate Body. One of the things I was glad to find there was the sense of camaraderie; it was like a big family. So, we had to talk about that, but I wanted to cover much more than that since Pablo has had an exciting career beyond that.

We discussed how he left Brazil to study and his experiences working abroad, eventually leading him to the WTO. We also talked about what led to his decision to leave the WTO, which I found very interesting. 
Pablo's successful career is a testament to his hard work, knowledge, and being in the right place at the right time. I had a blast talking to him; he did a great job with the questionnaire.

I am confident you will enjoy our conversation!

Season 6, Episode 7. Dmitry Grozoubinski. Executive Director at Geneva Trade Platform in Geneva.

Dmitry wears many hats, including author and overall point of reference for International Trade. If you want to learn more about Trade, you will probably run into him.

Before all this, he had a successful career as an Australian Trade Diplomat, where I met him. I found out we are sort of kindred spirits. We both appreciate a good Aaron Sorkin dialogue and are both introverts. Many people find this last part difficult to believe.

We talk about many things: his journey to Australia, why he became interested in International Relations, his experiences at the WTO, how he transitioned to the ICTSD, and how he suffered its demise. This actually turned out to be a blessing in disguise, leading him to become a personality in social media. All this led him to his current position at the Geneva Trade Platform.

We also delve into his latest book, “Why Politicians Lie About Trade... and What You Need to Know About It!” This book, with its unique voice and ability to simplify complex concepts, is a must-read for anyone interested in trade policy.

This was a great conversation, and all the credit goes to Dmitry.

He is a consummate diplomat who got into Trade and never left.  He was posted in Geneva as the Deputy Permanent Representative for the Mission of Australia to the WTO back in 2012, and although he didn’t initially intend to return, he is back as Ambassador with the intention and goal to deliver on many of the pending items we are currently working on at the WTO.  Ambassador Baxter provided great insights into the mind of a diplomat, and we had a great conversation. He also provided some great replies to my questionnaire, so listen until the end.

Season 6, Episode 10. Ambassador Nadia B. Theodore. Mission of Canada to the WTO.

Ambassador Nadia Theodore has been in Geneva for around two years, but she has already made her mark. She is involved in several initiatives, and one of her goals is making the WTO more inclusive and telling the story of the MTS to everyone. And I can say she has really succeeded in that.
 
We had an insightful and fun conversation, covering her multicultural upbringing, her foray into law, how she experienced the WTO during her first post in Geneva, and how things have changed with her return as Ambassador.
 
Ambassador Theodore was delightful and graceful, but if you have heard her before you already knew that. I also found out I have a couple of similarities with her. I was thrilled to host her and get to know her better.
 
You will not want to miss this conversation!

Ambassador Nadia B. Theodore

This week, it's a special Triple Shot edition of AD. Three from some of your faves and each set has something special in it. Demos, alt takes, live cuts and there's even a commercially unavailable acoustic hit medley from one act. Roll up a couple and turn on the Smoking Lamp. DB is in the house, so turn it up a bit, ok?

American Debauchery With DJ Duane Bruce 10.11.24

Season 6, Episode 11. Johanna Hill, Deputy Director General at the WTO.

DDG Johanna Hill has been involved with the WTO since its inception and has worked directly with it at various points in her career. Her career in multilateral and bilateral affairs is long, and she has also worked in the private sector.

We had an insightful conversation covering a wide range of topics, from her early years in El Salvador to her commitment to education, which led her to Tufts University and Columbia University.

She then worked for El Salvador’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Ministry of Economy, where she was appointed as Vice Minister of Economy.

This solid and long experience has brought her to the WTO, where she now serves as DDG.

It was a pleasure talking to her and hearing more about her story and thoughts on the Multilateral Trade System.

I am confident you will enjoy this conversation!

Season 6, Episode 13. Gustavo Adolfo Guarín Duque, Trade Counsellor at the Mission of Colombia to the World Trade Organization.

My guest is another Colombian, the nationality most represented in the show, hence the joke!

This is season six's last episode, and I had to close the season with a great guest!

Gustavo is a friend and colleague whose story will inspire you.

While I count Gustavo as a close friend, our conversation revealed new aspects of his life that I found fascinating, and I'm excited for you to listen in.

I was thrilled to host and engage in a profound and insightful conversation with him. We delved into his upbringing in Colombia and his unwavering commitment to his goals despite the challenges.

Gustavo's journey is a powerful testament to resilience and the relentless pursuit of excellence and knowledge.

When I’ve invited him to guest lecture in my classes, I always learned a lot from his patience and knowledge. Now, I know more all this comes from his nature and his nurturing.

This is my conversation with Gustavo.
