From Fellow to Leader: How One Nurse Midwife Is Closing Global Health's Leadership Gap
Nurses and midwives make up roughly 80% of the global health workforce — yet they remain dramatically underrepresented in the leadership roles and policy tables that shape the systems they work within every day. Julia Bluestone, Technical Director of Learning and Performance at Jhpiego and a former Bowe Fellow, joins host Michelle Evans to discuss what happens when that changes. From a new nurse leadership cohort in Kenya to the Healthy Birth Initiative in India, Julia breaks down why investing in frontline health workers isn't just a public health imperative — it's also an economic and trade imperative.

The Drone Arms Race: How Ukraine and Iran are Rewriting the Economics of War
War is becoming increasingly expensive—unless you’re the one selling the weapons. In this episode of The World Lens, host Michelle Evans sits down with Bruce McIndoe, President of McIndoe Risk Advisory, to unpack a startling shift in global defense: the rise of Ukraine and Iran as dominant players in the combat drone market. From $20,000 drones forcing the use of $2 million interceptor missiles to the looming reality of autonomous "robot armies," we explore how battlefield-tested technology is creating a "governance gap" and breaking traditional military budgets. Tune in to hear why the future of national security isn’t just about who has the most advanced systems, but who can survive the brutal cost curve of modern warfare.

Good Enough Is a Trap: Building Tech That Thinks Ahead
Most businesses don't realize they're stuck — until they are. In this episode of World Lens, host Michelle Evans sits down with Doyin Adewodu, founder of INFRASI, a new WTCI member delivering tailored IT and IoT solutions across healthcare, education, and government sectors. Doyin breaks down why a "good enough" infrastructure is the silent killer of global ambition, what it actually means to view technology through a full life-cycle lens, and how legacy systems are quietly blocking companies from capitalizing on AI and 5G.
