Leaving the X - Lessons from a CIA Operator

About this episode

Former CIA counterterrorism officer Michele Rigby Assad joins us to talk espionage, fear, intuition, and how to own your presence in the world's most dangerous places. This isn't Jason Bourne, because that's Hollywood.  Michele lived that life without any safety nets.  Often times she was alone and her only "weapons" were her abilities to read the situation and make the best decisions available;  to get off the X and act.
