The CARVER Mindset: How to Think Like a Spy - FREE

Luke Bencie (Mr. Carver Mindset), is a really smart guy. His book, Among Enemies: Counter-Espionage for the Business Traveler which first introduced me to him is excellent. Check out his other books, too. His Monday morning emails are always inspiring. I look forward to receiving them. Great way to start the week. The sign-up is at the bottom of this page.

I attended Carvercon 2022 at the University of South Florida and was impressed by the entire event. You can see this year’s event on-line, at no charge…
