Today we discuss trust, parenting, espionage and persuasion.
Welcome back to the 118th episode of the Hard Thing Podcast.
Today I share my conversation with former CIA Intelligence Analyst, now author and mom, Christina HIllsberg. You can reach out to Christina on her website (https://www.christinahillsberg.com/) where you can also find her new book, License to Parent.
Here are some highlights from today’s show:
- We talk about Christina’s path to the CIA
- We talk about how CIA training and parenting coincide
- We talk about the structure of writing
- You need to give your children more autonomy
- The path to building trust is through common ground
- Everyone needs to learn how to persuade
- Safety is achieved by getting off the X (more on that in the episode)
We also got some great action items from today’s guest:
- Learn the structure of writing
- Give kids (and yourself) more self-sufficiency
- Go out of your way to build connections
