#109: Inside the Mind of a Dictator’s Right-Hand Man (Cillian Dunne)
I sat down with a man that lived with the dictator of Panama’s right hand man… Fascinating to hear what goes behind the scenes regarding global corruption, the relationship between the USA, Panama and China and how what we think is going on, is actually a lie.
Key Discussion Points:
Living with a dictator’s right-hand man trained by the CIA, Mossad, and Fidel Castro
How the U.S. created and then destroyed its own dictator
What “evil” really means after you live with it
Quitting his job, broke, and sleeping in cars to chase his dream
The lessons in conviction, confidence, and courage learned from a killer
