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…

Narrative and propaganda are as real and relevant today as they ever were. And the building blocks for both exist in emotional and rational thinking.

Some of the most impactful skills CIA taught me and Jihi had nothing to do with weapons, locks, or lies. In this episode, we are excited to share what we learned about building, training, and improving personal courage. It's not what you think, and not at all what the movies make it look like.

Hundreds of thousands of Americans are on strike, in industries from automotive to entertainment. But the history of strikes in America goes back much further than most people realize. And there's a logical reason for why strikes are successful, popular, and on the rise, even though the number of unions in the United States has decreased by almost 300%. Join me and Jihi as we walk through one of the most contentious issues facing America today and what it means for the future of your career, your family, and our economy.

I don't know how long YouTube will allow this video to stay up. In it, I break down the 3 types of lying techniques President Biden used to influence the American People during his Emergency Presidential address last week. The world is struggling to make sense of what is happening between Israel and Palestine right now. The toll of victims continues to rise, an unprecedented siege of Gaza is expected any day now, and a humanitarian crisis including millions of innocent people is unfolding before our eyes. At the peak of international tensions, US President Biden made an address to encourage the American people to stand with Israel and continue support to Ukraine. While I agree with President Biden that America is a beacon of hope, freedom, and power for the world, I cannot stand aside quietly and let his Presidential address continue to confuse and mislead the same Americans we both swore to protect and defend.

Strong-man governments are on the rise and authoritarian regimes are growing in popularity by the day. Nowhere is proof of this massive global shift more clear than in Africa where a record number of coups have taken place in once-hopeful democracies. But before you judge war-torn Africa as a lost cause, consider the fact that we live in a world that rewards the strongest. In fact, you might even be guilty of it in your own house, just like me…

The Hamas incursion into Israel shocked the world, but Israel's response did not. The humanitarian crisis developing in Gaza with each passing day is already capturing the attention of the world within days of the surprise attack. And what comes next is both sad and predictable, in much the same way as Netanyahu's response to the original attack was both sad and predictable.
