Making Sense Of Diplomacy

Conversations, not headlines

Each episode is a conversation with a consul, diplomat, or humanitarian leader — recorded in person or virtually. We talk about how they ended up in diplomacy, what their work actually looks like day to day representing a country abroad, and how that work connects to culture, humanitarian need, and cooperation between nations. No talking points, no political debate — just an honest look at what diplomacy actually involves.

Understanding over advocacy

Geo Political Insiders exists to give people real access to the inner workings of diplomacy — why it matters, what it's actually like, and how to get involved. Our focus is understanding, not politics: serious engagement with diplomacy and global affairs through thoughtful conversation, direct service, and constructive dialogue.

Who's behind this

He's visited more than 30 countries across four continents, a curiosity about the world that shaped this project as much as anything else.
