While Stephen's report, without question, serves as a invaluable resource for the international business community seeking to do business in the region and for those scholars and academics studying the movement of people, goods and ideas, his personal story and the work that he does through the non-profit is just as compelling if not inspiring. In addition, I learned a few things about the Ports of L.A. and Long Beach today, satisfying my some of my curiosity that is pique every time I drive past those behemoth superstructures. I have a greater appreciation for the role that trade plays in the exchange of ideas, and the complex web of interconnectivity.
