EP 607: Michele Rigby Assad - The CIA Undercover Operative Breaks Cover
Update: 2025-04-18
Description
Most of us have heard stories about the CIA, but we rarely get the chance to look behind the curtain and gain insight into their secretive operations. Michele Rigby Assad lived a lie during her career as a CIA operative in the Middle East. With extensive experience in the Arab world, she developed the ability to interpret and navigate risks while designing safe and effective operations. Michele was an undercover CIA intelligence officer for 10 years, specialising in counterterrorism and counterintelligence in war zones, giving her significant expertise in dealing with terrorists and insurgents, as highlighted in her bestselling memoir, 'Breaking Cover: My Secret Life in the CIA and What It Taught Me About What's Worth Fighting For', and her latest book, 'Get Off the X: CIA Secrets for Conquering Obstacles and Achieving Your Life's Mission'.
