In this powerful episode of Made of More, host Chris Erdmann sits down with Dr. Jay Singh, a former Senior Foreign Service Officer for USAID and founder of the Development Impact Global Group. With over three decades of international service, Dr. Singh shares his extraordinary journey from working in war zones like Afghanistan and South Sudan to helping communities rebuild nations from the ground up. Just before deploying to Jamaica for Hurricane Melissa relief, he discusses how his military-rooted sense of public service—which he calls 'the highest calling' —has shaped his approach to leadership and resilience. Tune in for a humbling conversation on the core human desire to serve and why global connection is essential for building a better tomorrow.
