Marc Polymeropoulos, fmr CIA Operations Officer Up in the Air

Marc served 26 years at the CIA as an operations officer and later in leadership of the Senior Intelligence service. He's recruited spies, been a spy, and had an amazing host of life experiences you can't make up.

Some of what we covered:
-Why you won’t find a lot of intelligence officers hanging out with Iranian or Russians in their free time
-Why he felt his job was the ultimate adventure travel job
-How his Greek family never knew where he worked until he retired
-What it was like to learn the art of espionage
-What it was like to be woken up every morning by rockets exploding on his base in Afghanistan
-Why he’d love to go back to Iraq but will probably skip on revisiting Afghanistan
-The approach to evaluating information he learned at the agency that he wishes the general public would take incorporate into every day life.
-The Intelligence community’s frequent flyer sub-culture
