After surviving an assassination attempt in Butler, PA, a defiant and proud Trump was whisked away by his secret service detail with blood on his face and his fist high in the sky. While the staunchest anti-Trump and pro-Biden voters out there are unlikely to change their mind, the majority of American voters are still undecided about their final candidate. But in a moment on a hot Pennsylvania afternoon, Trump changed from a villain against democracy to a hero for democracy by taking a bullet in defense of the country he loves – or at least that's how his campaign is gonna spin it!

Technology doesn’t just change your everyday life, it also transforms the battlefield and the face of human conflict. From the Civil War to the War in Ukraine, technology continues to serve both to enhance and destroy human life. As parents and former CIA operatives, Jihi and I are always watching for new innovations in the tech sector. And recent creations from grenade-dropping drones to self-driving cars speak to a strange new era we face as parents, professionals, and partners. If you are as curious about technology as we are, don’t miss this conversation. And as a bonus, stay to the end to find out what happens when a covert officer dies in the line of duty…

Information is thrown at you everyday - online, on TV, in your inbox, and in your ear. Even if you wanted to take it all in, information can get overwhelming during a significant world event. And right now, there are TWO major events in motion: the ongoing crisis from Coronavirus, and the 2020 US Presidential election. In this episode, Andrew lays the foundation for how you can handle massive information right now and how you can use espionage to master it. 

Jihi and I recently had a conversation that we wanted to share with you about our marriage, the podcast, and what you can expect in Season 4! There is a lot more to come and we are excited to have you along for the ride! Here is a little bonus to make you smile and, hopefully, get you excited...

To conclude our season exploring the ‘Ground Truth’ of espionage, Andrew and Jihi revisit an old CIA training exercise that helped them learn more about each other and themselves. There is incredible value in knowing yourself, but there is even greater value in learning how to build the right team around you. And at CIA, the most successful teams start in the most unexpected way...

There is great power to be found in opposites. Opposites attract, complete cycles, and make championship teams. In this episode, Andrew and his wife - fellow ex-CIA covert officer Jihi - explore the power of opposites in espionage and everyday life. And they share a bit more about how leaving CIA was a choice they didn’t want to make, but had to make...

When it's time to build, destroy, or fix, everyone relies on having a good set of tools. The intelligence world is no different, even though the tools come with different names; targeter, analyst, operator. But unlike the tools in your toolbox, the tools of National Intelligence have lives, hopes, and aspirations. In this episode, Andrew and Jihi discuss how good - and bad - it can feel to be a tool for espionage.

The human mind is at the center of all espionage. If you know your mind and the mind of your opponent, you will win. In this episode, Andrew and his wife, ex-CIA targeter Jihi, explore the power of cognitive training as a tool for spying, success, and countering anxiety. Jihi is a trained spy with a clinically diagnosed anxiety disorder. Here is how she uses her training to overcome anxiety and live the life she loves...

No spy starts out as someone special. We are all just normal people until the day comes that we receive a phone call that changes our life. As we close this season about the ‘Ground Truth’ of espionage, Andrew wanted to share a new and different voice with all of you. A normal voice, from a normal person, who received an extraordinary phone call that led to an extraordinary life.
