Marc served 26 years at the CIA as an operations officer and later in leadership of the Senior Intelligence service. He's recruited spies, been a spy, and had an amazing host of life experiences you can't make up.

Some of what we covered:

-Why you won’t find a lot of intelligence officers hanging out with Iranian or Russians in their free time

-Why he felt his job was the ultimate adventure travel job

-How his Greek family never knew where he worked until he retired

-What it was like to learn the art of espionage

-What it was like to be woken up every morning by rockets exploding on his base in Afghanistan

-Why he’d love to go back to Iraq but will probably skip on revisiting Afghanistan

-The approach to evaluating information he learned at the agency that he wishes the general public would take incorporate into every day life.

-The Intelligence community’s frequent flyer sub-culture
