Inside the CIA: Secrets from an Insider's 7-Year Experience 🕵️‍♂️

Andrew Bustamante spent seven years working covertly as an officer in the Central Intelligence Agency. The CIA recruited him while he was applying to join the Peace Corps after leaving the US Air Force. Bustamante possesses an intimate knowledge of the intelligence community's inner workings. He says that he orchestrated several drone strikes during the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq and that he mastered the art of deception. After meeting his wife, also a CIA officer, and having children, he learned the CIA was no place for families. But leaving a life that was, to most people, a lie wasn't easy. Today, he runs his own company, Everyday Spy, training people in the techniques he learned as a spy. But he believes the US isn't safe enough to raise his family.
