Today’s guest has one of those CVs that sounds completely made up. At 19 years old, while most people are still figuring out university, he joined the CIA.

He went on to work on Syria and counterterrorism, contribute to intelligence briefings for the White House, work across the Middle East - and then became a bestselling spy novelist and the host of The Rest Is Classified. I should also say that basically everything I know about this world comes from James Bond and Mission: Impossible, so I expect to be corrected quite a lot today.
