01:03:12 Share

Thrilled to bring you this interview with Isobel Yeung. Isobel is an emmy-award winning journalist, currently at VICE, covering some of the most pressing global issues around the world.

Notable ones include:

• Going undercover to cover the re-education camps of Uyghur Muslims in China

• Being on the frontlines to cover the Syrian and Yemeni Civil War

• Uncovering the abuse of women in Mexico

• and more

I had the opportunity to chat with Isobel more deeply about the conflicts we mentioned above, what it's really like to go undercover and stand in the frontlines at some of the most dangerous places in the world, the effects it has on her mental health, and what other global issues she wants to shine a spotlight on.

I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I had conducting it.
