**Subscribe to **How To Trade It)

In this episode of How To Trade It, I speak with Andrew Bustamante. Not only is he the founder of Everyday Spy, but he’s also a former covert CIA operative who lived and worked undercover. During this time, he learned to understand how the human mind works. He also learned how to dominate and overcome his fear. When he left the CIA in 2014 to have a family and start a business, he had to find a way to share those two elements with everyday people—which is how Everyday Spy) got its start. Listen to this episode of How To Trade It for a look into what he learned as a spy that can change the way you trade.
