How to Think Like a Spy — Real Tactics from Ex-Intelligence Operative - Julian Fisher
Manage episode 523600459 series 1679014
What if spy skills like influence, persuasion, and reading people could transform your life? Ex-British intelligence officer Julian Fisher joins Spybrary to reveal the 9 essential spycraft skills anyone can learn.
In this revealing and thought-provoking episode of Spybrary, former British intelligence officer Julian Fisher joins Shane to discuss the central thesis of his new book, Think Like a Spy: that spy skills can be taught and used in everyday life. From mastering influence and reading people to building trust and understanding motivations, Fisher makes the case that espionage tactics aren't about deception—they're about deeper human connection.
Along the way, Fisher shares his personal journey, including his principled resignation over the Iraq War, insights from his time in both public and private intelligence, and his take on what popular spy fiction gets right (and wrong). Whether you're in business, leadership, sales, or just want to understand people better, this episode is packed with wisdom, humour, and insight.
