In the electrifying conclusion to Tom Bilyeu's conversation with ex-CIA officer Andrew Bustamante, the lens widens to encompass today's global flashpoints. Andrew applies his framework of power, leverage, and outcomes to the powder keg of present-day geopolitics. From Covid conspiracies and biological warfare, to the rise of China, the fate of the U.S. dollar, and the shifting allegiances shaping the 21st century, Andrew breaks down how world leaders really make decisions—far removed from conventional morality. This part takes a deep dive into modern conflict zones including Russia-Ukraine, the Israel-Palestine crisis, and the West's declining grip amid new authoritarian contenders. Tom and Andrew wrestle with the hard questions: Are chemical and biological weapons just another leverage tool? Why are democracies struggling while strongman regimes rise? And what does the America-first, leverage-maximizing approach actually look like in real time? Buckle in for a rapid-fire tour through the next era of global power, what it has to do with everyday life, and why understanding the "spy playbook" has never mattered more.

Tom Bilyeu sits down with Andrew Bustamante, former CIA officer and founder of Everyday Spy, to uncover the hidden systems powering global politics, economics, and high-stakes decision-making. With his unique intelligence background, Andrew sheds light on why the world's power truly runs on leverage—not morality—challenging everything you think you know about secrets, national interest, and survival in the geopolitical arena. In Part 1, Tom and Andrew pull back the curtain on the international leverage game. From the true function of secrets like the Epstein and JFK files, to the mechanics of economic warfare and media manipulation, they explore how the powerful wield information to maintain dominance. The discussion dives deep into real-world examples, like the China spy balloon incident, and explores why governments only release classified documents when it serves their purposes. This episode will alter your perspective on government actions, international conflict, and the moral constructs imposed on society, arming you with a profound understanding of the “outcomes, not morality” worldview that drives the people in charge.

Inspired by The Diary of a CEO's viral episode with CIA officer Andrew Bustamante, this powerful conversation explores how deep presence and ethical influence can transform your leadership. Dr. Maggie Augustyn, Dr. Chad Johnson, and Regan Robertson share personal reflections and real practice applications for using emotional intelligence to lead with integrity.

Laura Richards and co-host Lisa Bilyeu are joined by former CIA spy and intelligence expert Andrew Bustamante to unpack the complex web of evidence, abuse, and control unfolding in the Sean “Diddy” trial. Laura, Lisa and Andrew explore the charges against Combs including that  Combs abused, threatened, and coerced women and others, and led a racketeering conspiracy that engaged in sex trafficking, forced labor, kidnapping, arson, bribery, and obstruction of justice, in comparison with particular testimonies including Regina Ventura, Cassie's mother, Dawn Richard, Kerry Morgan, "The Punisher” and Kid Cudi. Laura highlights how abusers weaponise fear and power to maintain control, and how those in their orbit enable the abuse—whether through silence or active participation. Andrew brings a spy's lens to the case, analyzing Diddy's tactics through the eyes of a trained operative—making powerful connections between psychological warfare and public manipulation. This isn't just about Sean Combs and Cassie Ventura. It's bigger than that. It's about a systemic failure to protect women and girls—and what must change. Listen now. Share it widely.

Everything changed when women dared to speak up. This week, with my co-host, criminal behavioral analyst Laura Richards, and special guest ex-CIA spy Andrew Bustamante by my side, we're dissecting the walls of power, money, intimidation, and silence surrounding Diddy's alleged abuse. We break down Cassie's mother's pivotal testimony, explore the mechanics of coercion, sex trafficking and racketeering charges, and lay out practical strategies for any woman feeling trapped by threats and shame. We ask the uncomfortable questions: When the world won't protect women, what does justice really look like? And—how do we take back our stories, our safety, and our agency, even when going up against the untouchable?

Welcome to the Spy Journal! CIA teaches officers to use radical transparency to combat the confusion that can come from living and working in multiple names, places, and operations. While some officers keep diaries, I'm choosing to practice my radical transparency with this video journal. I'll share my thoughts, my challenges, and my breakthroughs – along with the CIA skills I'm using along the way.

This was a fascinating, can't miss conversation. Andrew Bustamante is a deep cover CIA Operator who believes that the most ethical thing he can do right now is to reveal the mind control secrets of the agency so that we can all be protected from being a target. We talk about ethical flexibility, dark programs enacted on Americans such as MK Ultra and Midnight Climax, deep undercover spy work in hostile territory, as well as acknowledging the countless amount of good things the CIA has done that no one ever hears about. He also shares an unbelievable Mission Impossible style story about his work with his wife in enemy territory that almost got him killed.

The release of the JFK assassination files is now tantalisingly close, and every little bit of new information is being immediately inhaled by historians and conspiracy theorists alike. In the last couple of days, Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna, who was appointed by President Trump to manage the release, has stated that “the initial hearing… was actually faulty” and “I believe that there were two shooters”. This information alone is a bombshell, but coming from a US government official makes it all the more juicy. So what else about the official government account of the assassination could be false? And could this sordid event finally be shown to be a genuine, honest to goodness conspiracy? To answer these questions, Piers Morgan speaks to ex-mobster Louis Ferrante, ex-CIA agent Andrew Bustamante and YouTuber and filmmaker Johnny Harris. After that, Piers turns to Judyth Vary Baker, a woman who claims she was Lee Harvey Oswald's ex lover and claims he told her he was "set up".

Welcome to Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu! In today's riveting episode, I dive deep into the transformative politics of the dawn of the second Trump presidency with my guest, Drew. We start by reflecting on the legacy of Joe Biden, discussing his cognitive decline and its impact on his tenure, and scrutinizing the metrics and perceptions that shaped his administration. From there, we explore the populist mandates that propelled Trump back into office, dissecting the challenges he faces in trying to deregulate and revive the American economy, amid deeply entrenched bureaucracy and global pressures. I offer a fascinating analogy of the American economy likened to a turtle burdened by barnacles, emphasizing the need to shed these impediments to move forward. The conversation also tackles the topic of oligarchy, public sentiment around wealthy individuals like Elon Musk, and the role and power of the people in holding leaders accountable. As we wrap up, we reflect on the importance of reframing failures as learning opportunities, using recent SpaceX events as a case study in innovation and resilience. Tune in for an engaging discussion that spans politics, economics, and personal growth, providing valuable insights into the complex dynamics that shape our world.

Episode #359 – A Look Back on 2024  Hi I'm David Hirsch, founder of the 21st Century Dads Foundation and Special Fathers Network as well as host of the Special Fathers Network Dad To Dad Podcast.   Happy New Year and welcome to the first episode of 2025.   Tom Couch, the editor and producer of the SFN Dad To Dad Podcast, and I, thought we would do something special and provide a Look Back on 2024.   In total we produced 72 episodes, 52 were weekly episodes airing on Fridays and for 20 weeks from May through September we produced a series of short episodes with SFN Mentor Fathers who are also involved with the SFN Mastermind Group program.  We called them SFN Mastermind Group Monday Podcasts.    While we'd love to include a snippet from all 70+ episodes, to keep it more concise we decided to provide some highlights.   We hope you enjoy listening to this Look Back on 2024 Episode as much as we did producing it.   18 of the 2024 guests are authors.   Nine of the interviews included international guests, from the following seven countries: Australia, Canada, Cayman Islands, Cuba, Iceland, Israel and the UK.  Four of the guests are women.  Three interviews were with dads who lost a child including one who was an Israeli hostage killed by Hamas terrorists.  Two interviews included military veterans: a former U.S. Navy Seal and a U.S. Air Force Vietnam-era combat pilot.  And one of the guests is a Native American.   The episodes also spanned a very broad range of disabilities including; Autism, Down Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy, Rare Disease, Dwarfism as well as those who are blind, deaf and missing a limb(s).    Here is a brief month by month recap with a clip from a select number of episodes.   In January, we aired four episodes including a dad from the UK and one from the Cayman Islands as well as with Jonathan Eig, father to three, including a son whose parents passed away at an early age.  Jon is also the best-selling author of biographies on: Muhammad Ali, Lou Gehrig, and MLK.   In February, we aired four episodes including one with Dave Jereb of Sydney, Australia, a Physical Therapist, co-founder of Move About Therapies and author of the book: Challenging The Story. We also did a two-episode story with filmmaker Bob Manganelli, whose 23 year old deaf son, very tragically committed suicide, while at Gallaudet University back in 2014.  In March, we produced five episodes including a two-episode interview with Keith Harris of Albuquerque, NM who is a retired business owner and father of four, including son Tim who has Down Syndrome.   He and Tim owned and operated the restaurant Tim's Place for five years.  Tim also went on to author The Book of Hugs, a children's book.  In April, we aired four episodes including one with Jonathan Bennett of Ontario Canada, who is an executive leadership coach, author and father of two, including one with Autism who is also non-binary.  In May, we did six episodes including one with Dr. Greg Pursley of Jackson, MO who is a chiropractor, owner of PC Medical Centers, an author and father of two, including a son who has Dwarfism.   We also interviewed John Borling of Rockford, IL who is a retired Major General in the U.S. Air Force.  John was a combat pilot in Vietnam who flew 97 missions before being shot down and held hostage for six years, eight months at the Infamous Hanoi Hilton.  And we interviewed Jon Ghahate a Pueblo Indian from Placitas, NM who is a Vietnam-er veteran and father of three, including a daughter who is sight impaired.  In June, we produced eight episodes including four SFN Mastermind Group Monday interviews with testimonials about their mastermind group experiences.  One was with John Shouse of Franklin, TN an industrial control engineer and father of three including twin boys, one of which, Evan, is Autistic.   John and his wife, Janet, have been leaders in the disability community throughout TN and John has been involved with the Tuesday night Mastermind group for nearly three years.   We also interviewed Paul Briggs of Falling Waters, WV, who is the father of 38.  No this was not a typographical error or some misstatement.  Paul and his wife, Jeanne, have six biological kids and 32 adopted children including: 13 from Ghana, 10 from Ukraine, six from Russia, two from Bulgaria and one from Mexico.   In July, we did nine episodes including five Mastermind Group Monday interviews.  We also interviewed Kelley Coleman of Los Angeles, CA, a mother of two, a disability advocate, and author of Everything No One Tells You About Parenting a Disabled Child: Your Guide to the Essential Systems, Services, and Supports.   We also interviewed Sam Farmer of North Easton, MA who is the father of a son with Autism and later in life was also diagnosed with Asperger's.  Sam is also the author of A Long Walk Down A Winding Road and has become one of the more well recognized self-advocates in the Autism community.  We also Al Malavolti of Rockford, IL in a two-part interview.  Al is a retired aerospace executive and he and his wife, Rosemary, have 22 children including four biologic kids and 17 adopted kids, and one they parented.   In August, we aired nine episodes including four Mastermind Group Monday episodes, including one with Tom Costello of Frankfort, IL who is the father of twin 21-year-old boys who are Autistic.  Tom and his wife Irene created the Twin Autism Foundation and have been outspoken advocates for those diagnosed with ASD.    We also interviewed Alvin Green of Chicago who is a retired Chef.  Alvin and his wife, Angela Ferguson, have two boys including Aiden who is Autistic.  To provide Aiden with some career skills and to support himself, Alvin founded Al's Cookie Mixx, a premium online cookie business that employs individuals who have intellectual disabilities.  In September, we produced nine episodes including five Mastermind Group Monday episodes and one with Agust Kristmanns of Reykjavik, Iceland who is the father of three including son, Ingi, who has 2Q37 Deletion syndrome, a rare chromosome condition that affects his development.  We also interviewed Jonathan Polin who is an Israeli-American.  Jonathan and his wife, Rachel Goldberg-Polin, became some of the most outspoken advocates speaking out about the urgency behind releasing the Israelis being held hostage by Hamas.  They met with the Pope at the Vatican and President Biden at the White House.  They spoke at the United Nations in Geneva and at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago.  I interviewed Jonathan on day 328 of their son Hersh's captivity and very sadly, just days later we learned about Hamas murdering six of the hostages including Hersh.   In October, we aired five episodes including one with Dr. Ruslan Vasyutin who is a single Ukrainian father to 12 year old daughter Alicia, who has Cerebral Palsy and unable to walk or talk.  They are currently living in Solihull, England after fleeing Kiev in February 2022 after the Russia invasion of Ukraine.    We also interviewed Andrew Bustamante of Colorado Springs, CO who is the father of two young children.  Andrew and his wife, Jihi, are both x-CIA undercover intelligence officers and hosts of the EverydaySpy Podcast.  It was a fascinating conversation about utilizing CIA tactics to overcome adversity.   In November, we produced five episodes including one with fellow podcaster daughter-father team: Reena Friedman Watts and her father Wayne, who produce the Better Call Daddy Podcast.  We also interviewed Todd Evans of Brentwood, TN who is an entrepreneur.  He and his wife Kristin have two children with disability and are the co-authors of How To Build A Thriving Marriage As You Care For Children With Disabilities.  And in December we did four episodes including one with former U.S. Navy Seal Phillip Koontz who is a business owner, leadership coach and speaker, father of five including an Autistic son and author of the book: The Truth Behind My Trident, which provides a fascinating look behind the curtain of the life as a U.S. Navy Seal.  We also interviewed Emma Livingstone of London, England who is the mother of three typical kids, who herself has Cerebral Palsy and is founder and CEO of UP - The Adult Movement For Adults With Cerebral Palsy.   All in all 2024 was an extraordinary year for the 21st Century Dads Foundation and Special Fathers Network.    I want to offer my heartfelt thanks to:  Tom Couch, our SFN Dad To Dad Podcast editor and producer and my partner in crime,            To Our primary sponsor Horizon

Jim DiOrio is a former FBI Interrogation Expert, Undercover Operative, and Military Veteran. A 1986 West Point Graduate, Jim served overseas as an Army Ranger before joining the FBI, where he'd spend a decade as one of the most successful undercover agents in Bureau history. After that, he'd go on to turn another 15 years at the Bureau as a ferocious interrogator and Special Agent In-Charge. Rumor has it that he was even the man who told Captain Phillips that he could have his boat back.

If it is, what does that mean for the average citizen?

Spycraft utilizes psychology more than gadgets. Ex-CIA officer Andrew Bustamante reveals the human side of intelligence gathering and deception. [Pt. 2/2 — find Pt. 1 here!] What We Discuss with Andrew Bustamante: The psychology of espionage and the process of recruiting assets, with an emphasis on the importance of building relationships and trust. The CIA uses a process called SADRAT (Spot, Assess, Develop, Recruit, Handle, and Terminate) to develop intelligence sources, which is similar to sales techniques and relationship building. The concept of public, private, and secret lives, highlighting how understanding and accessing someone's secret life is crucial for intelligence work. The strengths and operational styles of the CIA, Russia's SVR, Israel's Mossad, and China's MSS. Anxiety, often viewed negatively in society, can be a valuable asset in intelligence work and other high-performance fields. By reframing anxiety as a potential superpower, individuals can harness its benefits to drive success in their personal and professional lives.

Spycraft utilizes psychology more than gadgets. Ex-CIA officer Andrew Bustamante reveals the human side of intelligence gathering and deception. [Pt. 1/2] What We Discuss with Andrew Bustamante: After becoming the youngest US Air Force Officer in history to command 200 nuclear ICBMs from an underground bunker and spending seven years in the CIA, Everyday Spy founder Andrew Bustamante gives us an inside look into the recruitment and training process for CIA officers. The CIA uses personality assessments and carefully constructed team dynamics to build high-performance teams, often pairing people who may not naturally get along to create productive conflict. Lie detection through visual cues like micro-expressions is largely ineffective outside of controlled interrogation settings. More reliable methods involve establishing baselines and asking specific types of questions. Effective lying requires preplanning and rehearsal to align the rational and emotional parts of the brain. Spontaneous lying is much riskier and easier to detect. Understanding the RICE framework (Reward, Ideology, Coercion, Ego) can help you better motivate yourself and others in positive ways. This powerful tool for influencing behavior ethically will be explored further in part two later this week. And much more — be sure to check out part two of this conversation later this week!

Just take it from Andrew Bustamante - a former covert officer that spent seven years at The Agency, Andrew was recruited while applying to join the Peace Corps after leaving the U.S. Air Force as a combat veteran. During his tenure at the CIA, he developed a range of valuable skills, growing to master the line between truth and falsehood while also meeting his wife at the Agency, where they quickly grew to learn that the CIA was no place for families. Today, he owns and operates his own company, Everyday Spy, where he trains everybody from casual interests to Fortune 500 CEO's in the very techniques he learned as a covert operator.  But leaving a life that is, to most people, a lie isn't easy. So where does the line exist between truth and fiction? Does the CIA ever cross that line, and when they do, is it purely in the interest of all American citizens? And if Andrew's skills at the CIA helped him to accomplish every goal he's ever set out to achieve, then what possibilities can those same skills unlock in the rest of us? Let's meet Andrew.  ---------- Want to learn more from Andy?

Andrew's journey from the Air Force to the CIA is a story of transformation, grit, and adapting elite skills to everyday life.
