Is the CIA spying on Americans? How can we stay safe in the surveillance age? Is the government keeping secrets from us? And which covert missions have secretly shaped the course of world politics?

I had the pleasure of discussing all this and more with Andrew Bustamante! Andrew Bustamante is a former covert CIA intelligence officer, Air Force combat veteran, and Fortune 10 corporate advisor.

After his career in the CIA, Bustamante transitioned to public speaking, training, and consulting, sharing his insights on espionage, intelligence operations, and personal development. He often discusses topics such as applying espionage techniques to everyday life, business strategies, and security practices. He gained recognition through his podcast, "EverydaySpy," where he delves into various aspects of espionage and how they can be applied to enhance personal and professional success.
