    Episode 3

    In this episode, we feature the story of Olsa Alikaj-Çano, an immigration attorney leading "Çano Immigration" (www.canoimmigration.com), her own Immigration firm in Houston, Texas. She was interviewed by the biggest media outlets in Albania, but still in genuine curiosity asked us: who would be interested in interviewing me? She loves what she does, she is one of the top attorneys in the US and also contributes greatly to the Albanian community. Check her interview to discover the amazing person she is.

    Episode 0

    We begin today with Episode 0 and Mark Kosmo who is the Chair of the Global Albanians Foundation in Boston. We call it Episode Zero since this was our pilot interview that included many test runs, Mark has been involved in the design and launch of the podcast series unlike our upcoming interview subjects, and also because Mark claims he never wants to be Number One,
