   Barry Seal's Son Forgave His Father's Assassins | Guest: Aaron Seal

   "Is he definitely dead?!" Aaron Seal was nine years old the evening he called his father's phone and nobody picked up. His dad was Barry Seal — the pilot Hollywood turned into American Made, the man who flew for the cartel, then flew for the government, and became the most protected... and least protected... witness in America at the same time. Aaron grew up inside the open secret: helicopter rides from the park across from his elementary school, half the parents saying no thanks, and FBI agents in the treeline photographing him and his brother hunting snakes. Then he did the thing almost nobody does. He tracked down the men responsible for his father's death, sat across a table from one of them for an entire day, and forgave him. And somewhere in there, he became a brother to Pablo Escobar's son. This is the boy behind the headline, the mother who never remarried, and what it actually takes to step out of a cycle you never asked to be in.

   CIA's Master Spy Recruiter: ''I'm Probably a Sociopath'' - Jim Lawler

   For 25 years, Jim Lawler's job was to sit across from someone and understand them better than almost anyone else in their life ever had. As a CIA case officer, Jim spent a career in human intelligence... the people side of the work, not the gadgets. He served under diplomatic cover across Europe, Africa and the Middle East, played a role in the operation that helped dismantle the A.Q. Khan proliferation network, and spent nearly two decades afterward teaching thousands of CIA, DIA and FBI officers how to build trust with the people they need most. Today he writes spy novels and still, by his own admission, dreams about running operations. We skip the standard résumé walk and goes straight at the interior: what genuine empathy actually costs a person, why he says he never once recruited a happy person, and what separates the merely good officers from the very few who change history. Jim breaks down his ten qualities of a great recruiter: curiosity, listening, patience, persistence, creativity, a few that make people uncomfortable, and describes what he calls "the metaphysics," the invisible link between two people that makes the rest of the room disappear. Along the way: how a morning run in Paris ended at the Pasteur Institute and earned him the nickname "Mad Dog." Why he gives a talk called "My Favorite Failures." The dozen red roses that turned an operation into an accidental dinner date. The first big approach of his career — the one that got turned down flat on moral grounds, and what happened at the second dinner one week later. And the phrase every officer lives by: it's okay to get turned down, but not turned in. Two operators, two systems, one conversation about reading people, and about what an insane career like that takes from you while you're too busy loving it to notice.
