Beijing. New Delhi. Kathmandu. “Hang on, I thought the title said FBI, not CIA?” Well, it did. Kathy Stearman was an FBI Legat who lived and worked in all of those capital cities. “Well, I’ve heard of the Ambassador and the Station Chief, but not the Legat?” Well, that’s why you need to listen to this week’s SpyCast!
Kathy Stearman is a retired FBI Special Agent and author of It’s Not About the Gun: Lessons From my Global Career as a Female FBI Agent (I know the title sounds like Lance Armstrong’s It’s Not About the Bike, but Kathy is not a sociopath who will rip your heart out after you invest in her story: I promise). Kathy spent a large part of her career working Chinese counter-intelligence – including time in San Francisco and New York City (I hope the FBI has a generous rent allowance!) – and she speaks fluent Mandarin.

Zoom Event: “Unplugged” with Kathy and Jerri
Jerri’s interview with Kathy has been downloaded over 20,000 times. Their discussion about being a female FBI agent was so popular, Jerri decided to hold a separate Zoom event, which I am calling the “Unplugged” version of the podcast.
Jerri invited other former female FBI agents to chime in on the discussion, along with a couple of former male FBI agents. You’ll get to hear a very candid and transparent discussion about being a woman working in a man’s world. You’ll also get to hear the questions the audience got to ask Kathy, Jerri, and the other agents.
I think you’ll enjoy it!

The Power of People Watching

In this featured interview, “The Power of People Watching,” Kathy recounts how she learned to read body language and facial expressions as a child, and how this aided her later in her twenty-six-year career as a Special Agent with the FBI.
“In investigations, I would ask suspects questions I already knew the answer to, questions they may not have been remotely aware I knew the answer to. Then I could identify what they did when they told the truth and what they did when they lied.” – Psychology Today, May/June 2021 Issue
