Dr. Asif Mahmood: Compassion, Faith, and Finding Common Humanity | S3E1712 May37 min

Liz sits down with Dr. Asif Mahmood — physician, immigrant, humanitarian, and Vice Chair of the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom — for a deeply personal conversation about service, faith, immigration, and human connection. Born in a remote village in Pakistan and raised in humble circumstances, Asif shares how his journey to America shaped his belief in compassion, dignity, and helping people beyond religious or cultural boundaries. Together, Liz and Asif discuss anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, interfaith understanding, family, medicine, and why hope, humility, and kindness remain the most powerful forces in the world.
