Ever wonder what it’s like to work in the CIA?

Ex-CIA officer and author Jason Hanson called in this morning to talk to Alicia and me about how to “survive like a spy.” Jason has some great stories about working in the CIA, as well as some extremely valuable tips from what he learned about surviving a kidnapping, a threatening individual, or even a threat on an airline.

Listen in to the podcast below for some seriously valuable advice, and check out Jason’s new book How To Survive Like a Spy to get more in-depth insight into self-defense from the eyes of a CIA agent.

Explain Like I’m Five is presented by the Commonwealth Club, the nation’s oldest and largest public affairs forum, intent on finding truth and turning it loose in the world.
