Summary
In this episode of The Vancrux Podcast, I sit down with Trevor Fortner — a former U.S. Navy Explosive Ordnance Disposal specialist and lead trainer for the UAE Presidential Guard, now working alongside Andrew Bustamante at Everyday Spy. We dive into what it really means to think clearly under pressure. Trevor shares stories from his time in the field, operating in high-stakes environments where decisions carry real consequences. We explore the power of body language, how to reframe situations in real time, and the art of reverse engineering goals to create clarity and control — even in chaos. This episode is packed with practical insights on staying calm, focused, and effective when it matters most. A powerful conversation on mindset, performance, and mastering pressure. 🌐 Follow Trevor Fortner: https://everydayspy.com/trevor Find your Spy Superpower: https://yt.everydayspy.com/4aXS3qi Explore Spy School: https://everydayspy.com/ Listen to the podcast: https://youtube.com/@EverydaySpyPodcast Learn from a CIA Spy: https://youtube.com/@Andrew-Bustamante 🔥 Sponsored By: ☕ Strong Coffee Company — Protein-packed coffee for energy & clarity Code: VANCRUX1 (20% off) https://www.strongcoffeecompany.com 💊 More Labs — Clinically proven hydration & recovery drinks Code: VANCRUX1 (25% off) https://www.morelabs.com 🍬 LiQure Gummies — Electrolytes + vitamins for hangover prevention & recovery Code: VANCRUX1 (20% off) https://www.liqure.com 🔥 Useful Links: 📘 Become a Person of Value by J.S.
