Talking points: culture, geopolitics
This interview is probably among the most unique I’ve had on the show. I don’t usually cover straight-up politics, but Andrew’s work has fascinated me for a while. And as the world seems to getting more up in arms (literally and figuratively), I find myself wanting to learn more about where all of this started and how we as men can respond.
(00:00:00) – Common misconceptions about the CIA
(00:11:47) – Why foreign secrets are such a big deal
(00:24:51) – Andrew’s perspective on current global unrest, Iran, and just how complex it is
(00:38:31) – What’s difficult to understand about geopolitics, and why there seems to be so much conflict
(00:48:19) – Is there any form of governance that truly permits any freedom, and where the balance could lie
(00:57:47) – The perspective shift that changed Andrew’s life
(01:08:51) – Andrew’s take on what’s going to happen next with Ukraine, Russian, and Iran
(01:16:33) – Is US global supremacy in jeopardy? If it is, what does that mean for the average citizen?
