Today I speak with Mohamad Al-Arief. Arief’s life follows the stunning trajectory of Indonesia’s recent history. He was a student as the youth-led push against authoritarianism finally prompted Indonesia’s President Suharto to resign. That's when Arief devoted his full energy to the efforts that helped cement Indonesia’s transition to the vibrant democracy it is today. He shares his mission to nurture today’s youth to continue serving their country. He talks about his work to harness the potential of the Indonesian diaspora that has been a valuable source of creativity for decades.
