Together, Max and Joshua dive into the tension between ideals and practice: What do democratic values really mean? How do we balance justice and security? And how can young scholars move from theory into meaningful public service?Along the way, Joshua opens up about battling impostor syndrome, navigating internships, and finding purpose in work that matters. His advice to students: don’t let self-doubt hold you back, because curiosity, persistence, and integrity are the qualities that can carry you forward.Listen now!Uncharted: A Top Alumni Podcast, featured by FeedSpot.#PioneerAlumni #PublicService #HumanRights #TransitionalJustice #Diplomacy #CareerJourney #StudentAdvice #UnchartedPioneer
