📂 From the Vault: Inside the CIA with Andrew Bustamante 📂

We’re unlocking the archives for a special conversation with former CIA covert officer Andrew Bustamante. In this exclusive vault episode, Andrew gives an unfiltered look at the realities of life inside the Agency, intelligence tradecraft, and the personal toll of serving in the shadows.

🎙️ In this vault interview, Andrew reveals:
• What CIA training at The Farm really teaches new officers
• How spies use R.I.C.E. (Reward, Ideology, Coercion, Ego) to recruit assets
• Why most CIA officers have a “10-year shelf life” before burning out
• How Cuba repeatedly outmaneuvered U.S. intelligence
• The truth behind secrecy surrounding JFK assassination files
• Why CIA recruitment ads make him cringe
• And how social capital drives every human relationship

Whether you admire or distrust the CIA, this conversation gives a rare, behind-the-scenes view of espionage, psychology, and human motivation.
