International Medical Corps delivers emergency medical and related services to those affected by conflict, disaster and disease, no matter where they are, no matter what the conditions. They also train people in their communities, providing them with the skills they need to recover, chart their own path to self-reliance and become effective first responders themselves. Since they first began their work in 1984, International Medical Corps has helped tens of millions of people in more than 80 countries, delivering emergency relief and training valued at more than $3 billion. It is truly my honor today to have Margaret Traub joining me for this insightful and encouraging conversation, as she shares from her heart about an organization she helps to lead, the precious people they serve, and the "never quit" attitude of the teams who inspire her.

Current estimates tell us that nearly 46 million people in the world today are trapped in slavery. Most of us go through our daily lives unaware that right below the surface, or right around the corner, someone has fallen victim to this terrible evil. Men, women, and children who are trafficked, sold, and used. Dave Batstone is Founder and President at Not For Sale, an impressive organization that helped more than 61,000 victims of slavery last year alone. Dave brings together his expertise in business, his creativity, and his commitment to the overlooked and the abused.
