The Ripple Effect Podcast #100 (The Milestone)

Jul 24, 2016

Episode 100 gos back to the roots of the show, with the two original hosts Ricky & Dave. Like usual, we talk about everything & anything from current events to reflecting on doing 100 episodes.
I would like to thank all the amazing guests & fans who have supported us through out this journey of learning, growing & attempting to provoke thought & change. I can’t thank everyone enough for motivating me & constantly reminding me why we continue to do this. This show has proven, if your motivated to do something more fulfilling in life, you can & should, because the opposite belief is the most dangerous of ideas. This show has given me an outlet & a way of starting my own “Ripple” and for that I will always be thankful. I hope fans of the show will be inspired by my journey and see that I don’t only believe in “The Ripple Effect” but have shown it exists.

War On Whistleblowers: The High Cost of Speaking Truth To Power | Ex-CIA John Kiriakou | Ripple Effect #571

John Kiriakou, from a decorated high-ranking CIA counter-terrorism chief who led the 2002 capture of al-Qaeda’s Abu Zubaydah, to a federal inmate, John Kiriakou’s life is a masterclass in the high cost of speaking truth to power. In 2007, he became the first CIA official to publicly confirm the agency’s use of waterboarding, explicitly calling it torture—an act of whistleblowing that eventually led to him being the only person imprisoned in connection with the torture program. After serving 23 months, he reinvented himself as a sharp-witted author and commentator, hosting the Deep Focus podcast and penning books like The Reluctant Spy, and the gritty survival manual Doing Time Like a Spy, effectively using his intelligence background to critique the very systems he once served.
