#55 - Jason Carter4 Sept36 min

<p>There&#39;s no doubt that Jason Carter is following in some big footsteps. His great-grandmother, for instance, joined the Peace Corps at age 66 and believed passionately in the importance of service. Or his grandfather, who wasn&#39;t content with merely being the President of the United States--he too built a decades-long legacy of service after he left the Oval Office. But there&#39;s also no doubt that Jason has answered the call, and then some. As a Peace Corps volunteer, as a lawmaker, as an attorney, and with the Carter Center. He is readily building a legacy of his own.</p><p>&#39;SoftPower/FulStories&#39; uses first-person stories to explore why U.S. engagement in the world matters. Through conversations with diplomats, aid workers, Peace Corps volunteers, authors and artists, influencers, businesspeople, and more, SP/FS highlights how soft power and foreign aid and assistance strengthen America&#39;s security, prosperity, and global standing. But forget politics, policy, or punditry; this is all about the stories.</p><p><br></p>
