Background: In early 2024, Retired U.S. Army Counterintelligence Special Agent Ryan Rambo approached former U.S. Army Counterintelligence Special Agent Dave Holder with a compelling project pitch. It sounded just like this: “Hey Dave, we should start a podcast.” A few minutes later, we were like hounds on the trail. The rest, well, you’ll just have to see for yourself.

Goals: Provide a platform for introducing global experts to the fields of counterintelligence, insider risk management, enterprise risk management, risk intelligence and analytics, and more; and to give back to all of the people who took the time to invest in our attitudes, learning paths, exposure to the real work, career decisions, resources, friendship, and more.

Objectives: Help standardize our field’s language, concepts, approaches, and program formation considerations; build excitement about continuous learning; create new doorways into siloed repositories of insights, including by locating the right global experts to answer specific questions.

2025: Ryan Rambo joined IXN as an EVP and left to focus on building its commercial offerings. New co-host Matthew Hedger joined Dave as he transitioned from his work as a Non Official Cover case officer (commercial and criminal) for CIA. Matthew brings a wealth of experience in organized crime from top to bottom, as well as credentials in finance, covert communications, signals intelligence, wealth structuring, money laundering, and human intelligence operations.
