Episode 302: Spy Secrets That Can Save Your Live with Former CIA Agent Jason Hanson

Protecting your family on a daily basis doesn't exactly require a "very particular set of skills", but having those skills on deck can certainly be helpful. Even if we never use them directly, they can create a background of awareness, confidence, and competence that makes even the comfortable and boring parts of parenting safer.

Jason Hanson spent his young adulthood as a covert operative for the CIA, but then left the agency because it wasn't a good life for a family man. Now a father of five, he continues to apply his training to family safety, and shares his knowledge in a variety of courses, newsletters, books, and articles.

Today he talks to us about simple ways even civilian parents can apply spy tradecraft to keeping our families safe every day.
