Season 6, Episode 3. Ana Laura Lizano is Minister Counsellor at the Permanent Mission of Costa Rica to the World Trade Organization (WTO). This is episode 70 if you are keeping track. I can't believe it has been 70 already! I do these for myself because I love doing them, but it is great to hear when people reach out to say they enjoy them. Thanks to everyone who has reached out; I really appreciate it. Ana has worked in International Trade for many years, including in the private sector, the government, and in diplomacy in Geneva for the last few years. This is where I met her. Although we have been in the same circles for several years, I haven't worked much with her, so I looked forward to our conversation. We talked about International Trade, Diplomacy, the work she has been doing in the Trade and Environmental Sustainability Structured Discussions (TESSD) at the WTO, and also about movies, which I want to explore further with my guests. Time flew by during our conversation, and Ana was a delight. It was an insightful and fun conversation, but don't take my word for it. Listen for yourself.
