Featuring - John Sipher
In today's episode, we sit down with John Sipher, a former CIA intelligence officer who spent 28 years in the agency's clandestine service running espionage operations across the world.
We talk about how intelligence agencies actually recruit spies, what separates fact from fiction in modern espionage, and how countries like the United States, Russia, and China compete in the shadows long before conflicts become public. He explains how covert operations shape global politics, whether Vladimir Putin's Russia is as powerful as it appears, how the CIA thinks about threats, and why intelligence failures can change the course of history.
From spy recruitment and misinformation to cyber warfare, geopolitical strategy, and the unseen battles between the world's most powerful nations, this conversation offers a rare look inside an industry that almost always operates in silence.
You'll never look at intelligence agencies, global conflicts, or international politics the same way again.
