Great Interview
I had the pleasure of being the guest with Jamey Bowers one his One Drink Book Club in July, and it was a wonderful experience. While I had written a book about my spy-catching career in the FBI, Jamey took the topic and ran with it to cover other areas that the audience would be interested in. We covered so many other topics, about being in the FBI, and even comparing how Hollywood portrays the Bureau, to how it really is. Interestingly, the “real thing” is often more entertaining than the shoot ’em-up, bang, bang TV and movie portrayals. Jamey was able to bring all of this out, and in an easy-going way that would make the audience feel like they were sitting right there as part of the interview. Cheers to Jamey and the One Drink Book Club!
