He’s back—and a lot has changed.
Since we last spoke with Ex-CIA Officer Marc Polymeropoulos, he’s gone from a somewhat private recovery to national headlines, including a powerful appearance on 60 Minutes.
In this episode, we catch up on everything:
- what really happened behind the scenes of that 60 Minutes story
- his unfiltered take on Iran and where things stand now
- how his experience with Havana Syndrome has evolved—and what he believes today
Marc also opens up in a way he didn’t last time:
about recovery, resilience, and what it’s like to go from covert operations to speaking publicly.
This isn’t just an update—it’s a deeper look at a story that’s still unfolding.
He's been our friend for 40 years and he and his story are extra special to us.
