Thriving Minds with Alberto Zandi

Show Notes

This week Alberto sat down with Gavin Stone, a former British intelligence officer with over two decades of experience working across government agencies and international intelligence operations.

Gavin shares what life inside the intelligence world actually looks like, how spies are recruited, trained, and deployed, and why the real work is nothing like the movies.

This episode you will learn: • How intelligence officers detect lies and stress in real conversations • Why body language should be read in clusters, not isolated gestures • How persuasion and manipulation actually work • Why people are easier to influence when emotions are activated • How governments and organisations shape narratives • How to think more critically and protect yourself from manipulation

This is a rare look inside the psychology of intelligence, trust, and influence, and how these skills apply to everyday life.

Kaspar Basse founded Joe & The Juice in Copenhagen in 2002 with a few thousand dollars and an ambition that was anything but small: he wanted to build something that could compete with Starbucks. Two decades later, Joe & The Juice has grown into a global brand with over 500 locations and was valued at $1.8 billion in 2026. But Kaspar believes one of the biggest mistakes companies make happens precisely when they become successful. As businesses grow, they introduce managers, processes, controls and layers of approval to protect what they have built. And in doing so, they can gradually remove the very thing that made them successful in the first place: culture, and quality. Kaspar does not believe great company culture comes from music, office perks, parties or paying slightly more than your competitors. It comes from people feeling agency, challenged, trusted, capable of improving and proud of what they do.
