EPISODE SUMMARY

In this episode of The Diary of a CEO, featuring Andrew Bustamante and Steven Bartlett, CIA Spy: "Leave The USA Before 2030!" Why You Shouldn't Trust Your Gut! - Andrew Bustamante explores ex-CIA Spy Reveals Manipulation, Fear Mastery, And America’s Fragile Future Former CIA officer Andrew Bustamante explains how espionage tradecraft—especially psychological tools—can be repurposed to break everyday barriers in business and life. He details how spies assess lies, motivations, and human behavior using frameworks like RICE (Reward, Ideology, Coercion, Ego), SADRAT, and perception vs. perspective. Bustamante also describes his own psychological wiring, CIA recruitment and training, and how anxiety and fear can be turned into superpowers. In the final act, he warns about U.S.–China power parity, argues we are already in World War III by proxy, and explains why he plans to leave America by 2027.
