Season 5 Episode 05 – Hosuk Lee-Makiyama, Director of the European Centre for International Political Economy (ECIPE) in Brussels. Hosuk is a leading author on trade diplomacy, EU-Far East relations, and the digital economy. I enjoyed catching up with him during his recent visit to Geneva. I have known him for a while, and we’ve talked and exchanged messages, but this was the first time I met him, and it was an excellent opportunity to learn more about him and his thoughts on various topics. He knows plenty about diplomacy, International relations, and trade, amongst many other things. During our conversation, we cover his superhero origin story, how trade diplomacy has evolved, and some of the challenges ahead. I was thrilled to get a chance to talk to him and have it on record. You are welcome back anytime, Hosuk! Before even uploading this, many asked when this would be available because he is kind of a celebrity. Well, it is out now! I hope you enjoy our conversation. -- The Rodolfo Rivas Project is available on all major platforms or wherever you get your podcasts.

Season 5 Episode 04 – Antony Taubman, Director, Intellectual Property, Government Procurement & Competition Division at the World Trade Organization. Antony Taubman, a well-known figure in the International Intellectual Property scene, serving as Director of the Intellectual Property, Government Procurement & Competition Division at the World Trade Organization. We had a fascinating conversation spanning his illustrious career across the private sector, the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, various embassies, World Intellectual Property Organization, academia, and the WTO. During the last few years, Intellectual Property in International Trade has had its moment in the sun. So, it was great to catch up with Antony to talk about his career and some challenges and opportunities in the sector for the next few months and years. Antony was a gracious guest, and I was thrilled to finally have this conversation that had been a long time coming. He also is a regular listener of the show, which is always great to hear.

Season 5 Episode 03 – Stuart Harbinson, former Permanent Representative of Hong Kong and the HK Special Administrative Region of China at the WTO, and former Chief of Staff to the DG of the WTO. Stuart had a distinguished career in public service in Hong Kong, serving from 1994 to 2002 and then joining the WTO as one of the OGs Chief of Staff to Director-General Dr. Supachai Panitchpakdi, and later became a became Senior Adviser to Director-General Pascal Lamy. He also chaired many bodies, including the General Council, TRIPS and Services Councils, and the Dispute Settlement Body. So he saw it all. We had an insightful conversation covering many years of the WTO history. He told some great anecdotes and reflections that will be of great value to those working in International Trade, those aspiring to work in International Trade, and even those with nothing to do with International Trade! Stuart was a delight, and I was thrilled to have him as a guest, a true multilateralist if I ever met one.

Season 5 Episode 02 – Sainabou Taal Knebel, Head of Fisheries Subsidies at the World Trade Organization (WTO), in Geneva, Switzerland. For the second episode of our fifth season, yes, you heard that right, our fifth season, and episode 56 if you are counting, I had the pleasure of talking to Sainabou Taal Knebel, who leads Fisheries Subsidies work at the World Trade Organization. Sai is passionate about International Trade and her work, which is evident when talking to her. You can't help but feel inspired when you listen to her. She has been all over the World, but during the last few years, she's been in Geneva at the WTO. We covered a lot in our conversation, but it also went so fast because she is such a delightful person. Sai is a consummate professional and a true multilateralist. I hope you enjoy the conversation!

Season 5 Episode 01 – David Bisbee, Deputy Permanent Representative of the United States of America (USA) to the World Trade Organization (WTO) in Geneva, Switzerland. As we kick off the 5th season of the podcast, I could not think of a better guest than David. I have known David since the beginning of my time working with WTO. We worked on several files, including Trade Facilitation and Government Procurement. David is very experienced in the Multilateral Trading System (MTS), and it is always a delight to exchange views with him, which he is happy to do in and frank manner. This conversation would be a bit like many of the conversations we've had over the years, and we cover a bit of how he sees the WTO and how it has changed since he first arrived in Geneva. However, before we get to that, I was looking forward to hearing more about the evolution of his professional career before he got to Geneva. He traces his career as it evolved from his undergraduate degree and how he leveraged his experience and expertise as he moved on to new assignments. It was a pleasure talking to David, and I was glad he was here to launch the fifth season. I hope you enjoy the conversation! Subscribe; you won't regret it!

Season 4 Episode 17 – Juan Pablo Moya Hoyos, Dispute Settlement Lawyer at the World Trade Organization (WTO) in Geneva, Switzerland. I have known Juan Pablo for some time since we ran in the same circles, and we have common friends, but we only really had time to talk recently. We have a lot in common and cover much of it in this fun and insightful conversation. However, we only got to some of it. Juan Pablo is an economist and a lawyer, but as he tells it, his brain works more like an economist. Like many Colombians, he got his trade start through the Moot Court Competition. He talks about his experience in the Moot Court and how he stayed involved with it afterward. This led him to a stint working in Colombia's Ministry of Commerce, Industry, and Tourism, where he worked on disputes and FTA negotiations. Afterward, he traveled to Georgetown University for an LL.M., eventually bringing him to Geneva and the WTO. Ah, there is also a story about how he got to New York for his Bar Exam. It was great talking to Juan Pablo, and I hope you enjoy the conversation! Subscribe; you won't regret it!

Season 4 Episode 16 – Lenka Nahlovska, Secretary of the Czech Arbitration Court and Head of Domain Name Dispute Resolution. During my recent trip to Prague for the Panelist meeting, where I had the privilege of making a presentation, I wanted to get Lenka on the podcast. I've known Lenka for a while, and working with Czech Arbitration Court through all these years has been a pleasure. Lenka has been doing a great job in growing the Center, with yearly growth and the recent launch of the new platform. But this is her work; I know there is much more beyond that. We talked about growing up in Prague, law school, and how she got involved in arbitration, domain names, and teaching! It was great talking to Lenka and hearing about the plans for the Czech Arbitration Court. So, stick around; I am confident you will enjoy the conversation. Subscribe; you won't regret it!

Season 4 Episode 15 – Gavin Weeks, Associate Fellow at Saïd Business School, University of Oxford, and a Clinical Psychologist and Neuropsychologist. During my recent trip to Oxford University for a Chief of Staff Certification at its world-renowned business school, I had to opportunity to meet Gavin. As part of the program, he delivered an insightful lecture on sustaining energy at work. I found the lecture very useful and thought we could talk more about it and other topics in a wide-ranging conversation covering psychology, grit, sports, and talent, to name a few. Gavin is a clinically-trained psychologist who consults with individuals, teams, and organizations on leadership and behavior change. Gavin draws on a professional background in clinical and sports psychology to build performance and understand and overcome barriers to change. He has a doctorate in Clinical Psychology and a Masters of Science in Neuropsychology. I hope you enjoy this conversation! Subscribe; you won't regret it!

Season 4 Episode 14 – Anna Kazejak, award-winning Filmmaker. Anna is the talented filmmaker behind the funny and intelligent "Fucking Bornholm", which I had the pleasure of watching during the Zurich Film Festival in a packed theater. The film is very personal, and we hear a lot more about the development and some behind-the-scenes stories in our conversation. Although we try not to go into spoilers, we delve into some of the story's specifics. Anna also tells us about her career and offers valuable insight into what it means to be a director and the arduous task of creating a film, and a career. We recorded this in a hotel lobby, so the audio may not be as clean as I would like it to be, but the conversation was worth it. Anna is delightful, and I highly recommend watching her latest film. I also look forward to seeing what she does next! I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did! Subscribe; you won't regret it!

Season 4 Episode 13 – Marijke Smit, Senior Counsellor at the Mission of Israel to the WTO. For episode 50, I wanted to do something a little different, and I cannot think of a better guest to track how ten films have influenced the personal and professional life of someone than my friend and colleague, Marijke Smit. We have been colleagues for over six years, and we usually talk about International Trade but also about films, music, and popular culture. Hence, let us bring a bit of that conversation to a special podcast episode. We talked about how she became a lawyer, got into International Trade, and made her way to Geneva. I had asked her to make a list of 10 influential films, and in our conversation, we discussed all of them and how they influenced her. We try to avoid spoilers, but in some instances, we do go into specific plot details. I did not know her list beforehand, and I was surprised about some of her picks. It was a fun conversation, and I enjoyed getting to know Marijke through her film choices. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did! Subscribe and don’t miss a beat!
