Meeting a Spy Hunter at Books & Brews Light
We are branching out with shorter and more frequent videos in addition to our full hour monthly podcast. Alani Bankhead is our first guest on our new format.
As a special agent, Alani hunted terrorists, traffickers and spies. She has arrested pedophiles, run human intelligence operations against Al Qaeda in Iraq, commanded a unit in Kuwait, and was the senior bodyguard responsible for all bodyguard ops to one of the most senior Pentagon officials.
After leaving active duty, Alani worked for the world’s largest anti-slavery organization overseeing their Latin American investigations, operations, and law enforcement training focused on child sexual abuse and the child sex trafficking.
Despite these accomplishments, as a petite, 5’3” female who looked much younger than she was, she also struggled with Imposter Syndrome. Overcoming that, she has gone on to counsel others to overcome the same feelings. Her book The Least of Us: How Your Imposter Syndrome Points to Your Greatest Power came out a year ago and became a best seller.
Join in to see what drink is perfect for talking about Imposter Syndrome and hear Alani’s story.
