Next up, we journey to Peru where the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Summit is in full swing!

And you’ve got to admire a leader who’s got his priorities straight—while others show up wearing suits, he’s thinking, “How can I make a real difference?” Just think of him as the superhero of economic cooperation, cape not included.
