My guest today is General Stanley McChrystal. General McChrystal led a stellar military career culminating in becoming the commander of US and International Security Assistance Forces (ISAF) in Afghanistan. Since leaving the US military, he's founded the McChrystal group and has also written several books. His latest book is called ‘Risk: A User's Guide’.

In this episode, we talk about different ways to think about risk, how he led an information-sharing revolution in the American Secret Service. He also tells us about a recent phone call to patch up his differences with Joe Biden and what it was like to get sacked, but in a kind way, by Barack Obama. I could have listened to Stan talk all day.
