Join us for an exclusive, wide-ranging interview with Charles E. Goslin, retired CIA Operations Officer and veteran international security consultant, as we dive deep into his essential playbook, Understanding Personal Security and Risk: A Guide for Travelers. In an increasingly unpredictable world, reliance on tracking apps, corporate emergency hotlines, or mere luck is no longer enough. Whether navigating high-risk foreign markets, managing overseas teams, or traveling independently, your safety ultimately rests on your ability to recognize threats early and make fast, decisive judgments under pressure. Drawing from over four decades of covert field experience across Africa, Asia, the Middle East, Latin America, and Europe, Charles Goslin translates covert intelligence principles into practical, actionable strategies for everyday situations. What We'll Cover in This Episode: • The Psychology of the Threat Actor: How to analyze adversarial mindsets—from opportunistic street criminals and organized gangs to kidnappers and corrupt official checkpoints. • Core Principles of Self-Protection: Mastering Preparation, Detection, Deterrence, and Delay to shut down situations before they escalate into crises. • Navigating High-Risk Transit: Tactical guidance for public transport, hotel security, rental accommodations, and avoiding target vulnerability in "soft targets" like shopping malls and transit hubs. • Protecting Vulnerable Travelers: Tailored strategies addressing unique risk factors faced by women, university students, LGBTQ+ individuals, aid workers, and elderly travelers. • Cyber & Digital Tradecraft on the Move: Best practices for securing devices, data, and communications against foreign surveillance and street-level cyber crime. Don't miss this opportunity to learn how to think like an intelligence officer, build street-honed instincts, and master the art of situational awareness wherever your journey takes you.
