Host, Eric Prostejovsky spent a career taking on crazy projects. As a young guy at CIA, he kept wandering off assigned tasks to compare, contrast and ultimately develop new counter terrorism frameworks. Then he shifted to industry and drove colleagues nuts with strategies to grow business at the newly established Directorate of National Intelligence. He was even crazy enough to lead a team that converted phones, drones, and 3D algorithms into force protection capabilities for the Army. He's obsessed with change in the federal space. And over a career of receiving Mike Tyson like beatings and some successes, he's come to learn something. The biggest breakthroughs, the biggest ideas that can solve seemingly unsolvable mission problems often come from surprising places…the craziest places.
