In this episode I chat with Terry Thiele who only spent one year at West Point but ended up working for the CIA and NSA and attended the National War Course as a 2nd Lieutenant in the Reserves along side all the other Senior Officers on the court as a civilian until the last day of the course when he was promoted to Captain in the Reserves which was a fun day.

Terry Thiele has been a Cold Warrior and a corporate lawyer. He now consults and teaches strategic planning. This book is the culmination of forty years helping government officials, corporate officers, and graduate students think about the future. Terry received his B.A. magna cum laude in history from Princeton and his J.D. from NYU; he is a graduate of the National War College. Carol and he live near Wilmington, N.C.

He has also written a book titled 'Our Fourth Age: A village elder's story for young Homines sapients about surviving their future history' available on Amazon in hardback, paperback and kindle.
