I have been going to Chess Tournament, I have had some wins and some losses. Now, I am thinking about how can I take my chess to the next level. How can I do better in the next chess tournament? I have been studying chess for at least 4 to 5 hours a day, analyzing my games, and been taking chess coaching sessions. And then it hit me, what about, The Alter Ego Effect!So I called up the author of The Alter Ego Effects, Todd Herman, to get a "Free" Coaching Session! That's why I enjoy doing podcasts!  In the episode, we talked about how a kid took on the alter ego of Paul Bunyan, and then excel in baseball! We also talked about the techniques of looking for your own alter ego.Last but not least, all the advice that Todd gave me to search and take on my own alter ego, and let see if I could do better in my next tournament!My new book Skip The Line is out!

We all have seen a dozen of Spies movies, movies about intelligence, we read books about it, we knew who is James Bond, Mission Impossible and all. But the question is still out there, what are spies? What are the intelligence agencies? What are the covert intelligence agencies?In this episode, I am joined by Amy Zegart, a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution, a professor of political science, past co-director of Stanford’s Center for International Security and Cooperation, to talk about her new book, Spies, Lies, and Algorithms: The History and Future of American Intelligence.That book is like the textbook for spies and intelligence 101! Conversation with Amy was so fascinating as we touched upon the topics like, why do we need spies and intelligence, cyber security, cyber-warfare, which apparently we are at war all year round, and we even talked about how a commercial company like Google, Facebook, and others might have more data on us than the government agencies!Listen to the episode, and tweet at me @jaltucher if you like this episodes!My new book Skip The Line is out!

I woke up today and saw the news about Ukraine, Russia, and America, and I asked myself, What is going on? Is an invasion happening? What will happen to the economy?So I called my go-to foreign intelligence,  and a fellow friend, Tom Quiggin, a former intelligence officer who served in Bosnia, he worked for the International War Crimes Tribunal, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, Nanyang Technological University in Singapore, and a court expert on terrorism, and invite him on to the podcast to talk about what he thought about the Ukraine issue, and what will likely to happen to Ukraine?On top of that, we also talked about what's the American Political Strategy, how will China react? What would NATO do in this situation?Listen to the episode, and hopefully, Tom answered all your questions and doubts!My new book Skip The Line is out!
