It’s the name of a great documentary about backup singers, and that is my lane. Let me tell you about the two moments I’ve truly been close to greatness and how they shaped me:
- A woman at the very top of an intelligence agency asked me for a professional favor and then she was tone deaf with the person she asked to meet. It blew back on me. There was no apology, no repair. But she was very harsh with me when I erred.
- A woman at the very top of a different intelligence agency used me for years. Full stop. And that’s without the lying on top of it.
This is not an indictment of people I love. I love both of them. I am telling you one thing and one thing only. Powerful people are just like the rest of us.
