But a life-altering, near-death experience changed her perspective, leading her to eventually pivot out of the CIA and create Petite Plume, a wildly successful pajama company.

We had Andy Bustamante on this morning to talk about the new season of his History Channel series, "Beyond Skinwalker Ranch", which is all well and good, but why we really like having him on is because his career as a CIA intelligence officer and more, makes for some interesting and informative conversations...just like today!

Former Senior CIA Officer Ed Bogan spent a decades-long career at CIA focused on the most urgent issues of our time ranging from counterterrorism to Russia in Ukraine.  In this episode of State Secrets, Bogan shares his journey from law school to joining the CIA and his experiences in counterterrorism and the Russia-Ukraine conflict.  He emphasizes the importance of addressing the underlying causes of terrorism and the need to counter Russian disinformation.  Bogan's mission now – with a new 501c(3) – is focused on studying how leader's use and misuse ‘states of emergency' and the need for informed decision-making and action.

In this episode of OODAcast, Bob Gourley interviews Laura Thomas, a deep tech consultant and former CIA officer. Laura discusses her journey from a small town in North Carolina to a career in the CIA, where she served as a case officer. She emphasizes the importance of critical thinking and decision-making under uncertainty, and how these skills have translated to her work in deep tech. Laura also highlights the potential of quantum computing and fusion energy, stressing the need for innovation and strategic investment in these transformative technologies. Laura's refreshing comments underscore why healthy debate is absolutely critical to good organizational decisions. She says “Disagree with me, I want to hear it, and don't hold back!” She provides some frameworks that can help leaders seeking to assess the dynamic geopolitical world we live in today. Her advice: “Zoom out.” Look at the bigger picture. And think through multiple scenarios. She is a huge fan of scenario planning. Anyone who claims they know the future, she says, is likely a charlatan. Be very careful when you hear someone trying to tell you they know exactly what comes next. We talk about Deep Tech. Laura publishes online at Lauraethomas.com. Her writings there include expert insights into topics like how to engage technical experts at US national labs, agencies and academia to land your next role, things to know about national security deep tech, unique insights into transitioning to the private sector, and fact based observations on espionage and sex.

It is Friday on The Rickey Smiley Morning Show Podcast.

The group was supposed to include Jay-Z, Pharrell, Diddy, and Usher. Usher said he did not say no, but they got busy, and it just did not happen.

In this episode, I speak with former CIA case officer Art Keller about conspiracy theories. Today, Art is a freelance journalist, commentator and author, being published in the New York Times, the Washington Post, CNN, CBS, and many more. There are few things that get as much attention on my social media platforms as conspiracy theories so I'm excited to have had the chance to pick Art's brain on the topic. During the episode, we speak about questions such as: What kind of people does the CIA look for? And how did Art end up in the CIA? He shares his personal experience with the Iraq invasion as well as his perspective on a variety of different “conspiracy theories” such as the deep state, Jeffrey Epstein, 9/11 and the JFK assassination. Lastly, we discuss what people can do to test conspiracy theories for themselves.   — LEARN MORE ABOUT ART KELLER —  Art's Twitter: https://twitter.com/ArtKeller  Technoskeptic: https://technoskeptic.substack.com/    — CHECK OUT MORE OF MY RESOURCES —  US History Class for Homeschoolers: https://www.williamreusch.com/ushistory  Debate To Dialogue: https://www.williamreusch.com/debatetodialogue  The Social Solution: https://www.williamreusch.com/socialsolution  Critical Thinking Curriculum: https://www.williamreusch.com/criticalthinking    — LISTEN TO CYLINDER RADIO — Podcast: https://cylinderradio.libsyn.com/  Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/cylinder-radio/id1448662116  Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3ACgZ7hMoBuuC1cmc9oLoP    — SUPPORT MY WORK — My Website: https://www.williamreusch.com Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/willreusch Instagram: https://instagram.com/willreusch

David McCloskey used to work in the CIA. Now he's a novelist and does most of his writing in coffee shops on Greenville Avenue. Which ones? He wouldn't say. Even after Zac and Tim subjected him to extraordinary rendition, he wouldn't break. He also declined to read a sex scene from his new novel, Moscow X, so Tim did the honors, which was gross.

The Cognitive Crucible is a forum that presents different perspectives and emerging thought leadership related to the information environment. The opinions expressed by guests are their own, and do not necessarily reflect the views of or endorsement by the Information Professionals Association. During this episode, Dave Maxwell discusses the importance of human rights upfront, influence campaigns, the pursuit of a free and unified Korea, resting on a foundation of deterrence and defense in the context of countering North Korea. Research Questions: Dave suggests technologies be developed which help Western governments access and penetrate North Korea. Also, he believes the potential succession in North Korea is an important research area, as well as mapping out the entire human terrain of key personalities and communicators. He also asks: how can we use defectors and escapees to help with the above research projects and bridge the North and the South. Finally, Dave thinks these “big 5” questions related to North Korea are important: What do we want to achieve in Korea? What is the acceptable durable political arrangement that will protect, serve, and advance US and ROK/US Alliance interests on the Korean Peninsula and in Northeast Asia? Who does Kim fear more: The US or the Korean people in the north? (Note it is the Korean people armed with information knowledge of life in South Korea) Do we believe that Kim Jong-un has abandoned the seven decades old strategy of subversion, coercion-extortion (blackmail diplomacy), and use of force to achieve unification dominated by the Guerrilla Dynasty and Gulag State in order to ensure the survival of the mafia like crime family cult known as Kim family regime? In support of that strategy do we believe that Kim Jong-un has abandoned the objective to split the ROK/US Alliance and get US forces off the peninsula?  Has KJU given up his divide to conquer strategy - divide the alliance to conquer the ROK?

This week on Intelligence Matters, Michael Morell speaks with former senior CIA officer and Moscow station chief Rolf Mowatt-Larssen about his strategic analysis of the Russia-Ukraine war. He maps out the Russian objectives in the war and the lack of clear Western goals as the war continues. Mowatt-Larssen predicts that Putin will launch an offensive in 2023 but not until he has mobilized a sufficient number of troops, something he failed to do in the past year. Mowatt-Larssen discusses Putin's "scorched earth" approach and how it has led to the weaponization of energy.

We have all seen the images of women in cities across Iran burning their headscarves and cutting their hair in public to chants of "Death to the dictator.". The protests began after the September 13th death of 22-year-old Masha Amini. According to reports, Iranian morality police had accused Amini of violating laws mandating women cover their hair. These events appear to have sparked a major public backlash against the Iranian regime. But how serious is the threat to the Iranian regime? Reuel Marc Gerecht is a senior fellow at the Washington-based think tank, the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies. He was previously a resident fellow at the American Enterprise Institute. Earlier, he served as a Middle Eastern specialist at the CIA's Directorate of Operations. In that role, he was focused on Iran targets.

This week Suzanne talks with former CIA officer and author of new book Victor in the Trouble Alex Finley.  They talk about her career, her path to becoming an author and how she recenlty became an expert on oligarchs and yachts.

In this episode of Intelligence Matters, host Michael Morell speaks with Alex Finley, a former CIA officer in the Directorate of Operations and an author of three satirical books depicting life and work at the agency. Finley describes how CIA officers often use humor in unique ways to cope with high-stress assignments, and she and Morell discuss the ways in which satire can illuminate little-known realities about serious subjects. Finley also describes her newfound role as an amateur 'yacht-watcher,' tracking Russian oligarchs' yachts through the port of Barcelona.
