John Kiriakou was a CIA Officer deeply embedded in the Middle East, recruiting spies and capturing Al-Qaeda. He was imprisoned for his whistleblowing on the 911 torture program, albeit under weak charges. His life is full of surprises, he is a genuinely good dude, and one of the best storytellers I've ever spoken to.

We could have done six hours, so, in lieu of canceling the rest of his plans for the day, we agreed to do a part II... I cannot wait, nor will you.

Mike Ritland is an American hero, a former Navy SEAL, an accomplished podcaster., and a CEO of five companies. But he is also like many of us...believe it or not. Mike is a good dude, unafraid to share his thoughts about sensitive topics while remaining considerate of others.

The FBI has long been renowned for its expertise and professionalism. However, both during the Hoover era and in modern times, it has faced criticism from the public and politicians regarding its reach and political ties. Jim Siano, a retired agent who served under Hoover, learned true investigative techniques without the aid of modern technology. He has witnessed many of the changes the FBI has undergone. Jim speaks candidly about his experiences and feelings on law enforcement and its direction, sharing heroic tales from when the FBI represented American law enforcement. Now, he invests in the next generation by teaching high school students about Criminal Justice and helping them navigate a challenging law enforcement environment.

Opal Lee, the "Grandmother of Juneteenth," is a tireless advocate for social justice and the recognition of Juneteenth as a national holiday. Born in 1926, her lifelong dedication to civil rights has inspired millions. In 2016, at 89, Opal embarked on a symbolic 1,400-mile walk from Fort Worth, Texas, to Washington, D.C., to bring attention to Juneteenth. Her relentless efforts were instrumental in Juneteenth becoming a federal holiday in 2021. Opal's passion and resilience continue to drive her mission of equality and education.

Ms. Lee earned the Presidential Medal of Freedom, is a Nobel Peace Prize nominee, and, along with her hard-working granddaughter, Dione Sims, is creating a National Juneteenth Museum to promote positive conversations about unity and what it means to be an American. 

In this episode, we discuss topics rarely discussed in other interviews - to learn more about the powerful people behind their powerful message. I was SO delighted to speak with these influential women!
