Alex sits down with Marc Polymeropoulos, a former senior intelligence officer in the CIA overseeing clandestine operations in Europe and Eurasia. Marc retired after 26 years of service as one of the CIA\\u2019s most decorated field officers. The two discuss how the tech landscape has impacted CIA operations over the past 3 decades, the United States facing new near-peer threats, and Marc being targeting by a Russian energy weapon that ultimately lead to an early end of his CIA career. They highlight leadership principals from Marc\'s new book, Clarity in Crisis, that are applicable for anyone looking to grow as a leader and as a human being.
