In this episode, Andrew and EDSAVAGE share an important secret about espionage. A secret that defines the difference between a successful mission and a successful operation. Hollywood likes to focus on short-term objectives - individual missions. But the real benefit spies bring to national security is not short-term. It's in winning long-term objectives... winning the operation. |

Courage vs. Confidence

But authors, experts, and salesman are selling people the lie that it can. In this episode, Andrew explains how courage is not something inside us; it is something others project onto us. What we have within us is far more powerful than confidence, but it requires a choice... This season of The Everyday Espionage Podcast would not be possible if not for our dedicated sponsors.

The Only Goals the Matter

To do something nobody else can imagine, you have to set goals that everyone else considers unrealistic.

Outsider Advantage
16:18
We all want to belong to something. The need for acceptance is so great that we label ourselves and each other; we create insiders and outsiders. In this episode, Andrew explains the real advantage between insiders and outsiders. Spies make a career of breaking in; looking in; peeking in. We know that the way to win isn't by becoming an insider. It is by embracing the advantage you have as an outsider.
