What the CIA Taught Me About Failure and Trust

What if the key to success wasn’t avoiding failure but embracing it?
 Former CIA officer Jeffrey Sanow joins me to share how he made life-or-death decisions with only 80% of the information, and how those same principles can transform how we lead, communicate, and handle pressure. We explore resilience, emotional intelligence, and the power of empowering others to take risks even when the outcome isn’t guaranteed.

💡 4 ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS FOR LISTENERS

1.       Empower others to fail. Growth happens when people have the freedom to try, fall short, and learn not when they’re afraid to make mistakes.

2.       Decide with 80% of the facts. Don’t wait for perfect certainty progress belongs to those who act with the best information available.

3.       Listen more than you speak. True communication begins with listening it’s how trust and understanding are built.

4.       Trust your training and your people. Whether in intelligence or business, confidence in your process and your team is key to success under pressure.
