Former Corporate Spy Tells All with Robe...

John Lee Dumas Of Eofire
About this episode

Robert Kerbeck's true crime memoir, RUSE: Lying the American Dream from Hollywood to Wall Street, is the story of how a wannabe actor became the world’s greatest corporate spy. RUSE has received praise from Frank Abagnale (Catch Me If You Can), Bradley Hope (Billion Dollar Whale), and former CIA spy Valerie Plame (Fair Game) and is currently in development for a TV series.

Top 3 Value Bombs:

1. Take the journey you want to take. Life is short and precious. Spend your life doing what you want to do.

2. Firms only want to recruit the top 10%, the top 5%, the top 1% to steal them away and bring them and their talents and often their secrets with them. Corporate spying is alive and well.

3. A corporate spy is hired by the largest corporations in America because what they're looking for is the edge to increase revenue and their rankings in a given industry, anything and everything that a corporation and executives at a corporation can leverage to increase their bottom line.
