Hello, world.

Today, my guest is Andrew Bustamante.

Andrew is a former covert CIA intelligence officer and U.S. Air Force Combat Veteran.

He spent seven years in the CIA as a

clandestine operative for the agency's undercover arm. He not only lived, plotted, and fought in

dangerous spots around the world, but he had to lie to everyone he knew, including his parents

and everyone he met. Manipulation was part of his job, and his podcast, which is called everyday espionage teaches the psychology of being a covert spy by being able to understand who you are so you can manage the experiences around you in a very deliberate way

Andrew is so smart it's scary and some of the knowledge he drops on this podcast

blew me away. Without further ado, please welcome Andrew Bustamante.

Boostamante. Is that how you pronounce it? Cool. Well, Andrew, thanks for doing the show.

For people out there who don't know, can you give me just like a brief explanation of who you are and what your background is?

Absolutely.

My name's Andrew Bustamante.

I'm a former CIA field officer.

I left the agency in 2014 and went on into corporate America and then started my own gig. Now I teach spy skills to everyday people from individuals who want to learn increased security to corporations and even going back to government enterprise as a private intelligence consultant.

So what exactly did you do in the CIA?
