Jake Harriman is a former Force Recon Marine who started Nuru International during his time at Stanford.  His experiences deployed led him to see the devastating effects of extreme poverty, and how it was affecting the war on terror - and inspired him to start an organization to break the cycle.

In this episode we discuss:

• The nexus of security and rural development
• His belief that only kinetic action will not win the war on terror
• The importance of removing isolation
• How to help yourself by helping others
