The Right Honourable Enele Sopoaga - Former Prime Minister of Tuvalu, and Global Climate Leader

Welcome to Episode 50 of Good Will Hunters! I cannot believe we made it this far - I'm so proud of this show and so proud of us as a community. I had wondered who would be our guest on this momentous episode, and I'm incredible humbled to say it is the Former Prime Minister of Tuvalu, the Right Honourable Enele Sopoaga.

If you don't already know ACFID - you should! Enele gave the keynote address in the morning, and there was a reverence in the audience as he spoke. There were laughs, tears and a sense of both urgency and optimism. Later that afternoon, I had the opportunity to interview Enele and his wife Silalo. It was a moment I will treasure forever. This episode is BIG - it is a chance for us to truly listen and understand the situation of Tuvalu.
