  • Summary

  • Imagine having three life-coaches who had been through the toughest mental and physical challenges; a crack team of problem-solvers who knew in their day job that one mistake could be the difference between life - and death.

    Think Like a Spy brings together ex-officers from the CIA, the FBI and the British Royal Marines. Across eight themed half-hours, they recount their experiences of working in the most stressful situations around the world - and how you can apply the same intelligence techniques to your own everyday life to become more productive, more perceptive and confident.

    A TBI Media production for Audible Originals.

    This is an Audible Original Podcast. You can download all 8 episodes to your Library now.

    Journalist and presenter Tazeen Ahmad sadly passed away, aged 48, after the recording of this series. To mark the launch of this title Audible will be donating to two charities which were close to her heart. Mosac supports all non-abusing parents and carers whose children have been sexually abused. Woman's Trust is a specialist mental health charity, providing free counselling and therapy for women who have experienced domestic abuse.

Act Like a Spy Everyday

This podcast series was extremely interesting. I enjoyed how the Interviewees recalled their own personal experiences from their careers and explained how the skills that they learned can be applied to everyday life from people who don't live in Jason Bourne or James Bond worlds. Persuasion, confidence and decision making under pressure are all just some of the skills that are discussed. The interviewer was fantastic and I enjoyed how each of the former spies built on the stories of each other.

The other side of espionage fiction

We all think like spies at times whether it's a furtive break in the midst of a deadline, crossing the street to avoid a pest, or simply figuring out a fictional protagonist's next move. The "how to" is what's central here, and nicely done in short, info driven podcast form.

Tazeen Ahmed is an engaging interviewer, weaving advice, tips and remembrances from a CIA agent, FBI recruiter, and royal marine through well structured thematic conversations with casual sophistication.

I was deeply saddened there were no other Tazeen audio offerings; her depth and warmth will be missed. This is an entertaining insight into her well respected skills.
