Spies have unique cognitive training and real-world practice that allows them to see the world differently. Where some see risk, spies see reward. Where some see impossible odds, spies see irresistible opportunity. Where some see fear, spies see freedom.

The Everyday Espionage Podcast applies espionage concepts to everyday life, giving listeners the tools and training they need to practice and perfect their own spycraft. There will always be secrets, but the better question is whether you will keep them or be kept from them...

You objectives may be your own, but your mission starts today.

Training starts November 13th.
