In this episode, former MI6 officer, author, and corporate strategist Matthew Dunn sits down with Francis Gorman to pull back the curtain on life inside British intelligence and how the lessons of espionage translate to leadership, business, and personal mindset.
Matthew recounts how he was secretly recruited into MI6 through university talent spotters, underwent one of the most rigorous selection and vetting processes in government, and operated under 14 different alias identities during his field career. He explains how emotional intelligence, adaptability, and courage are the real tools of a spy far more vital than gadgets or brute intellect.
