M.P. Woodward, former Navy Intelligence turned techie, joined the Course of Action Podcast this week to celebrate the release of his first Tom Clancy book, SHADOW STATE.
In this episode, we talk about M.P.'s time serving as Navy Intel in PACOM, how he was on the forefront of the tech revolution, including smartphones and streaming services, industrial espionage, his career at Amazon Prime video, the legacy of the late Tom Clancy, and why the Chinese spy balloon incident was scarier than it looked.
M.P. not only spent time in the streaming world as it kicked off, but he's given numerous speeches that combine tech with modern-day issues and military applications. In 2024, he gave a speech about Naval Strategy in the Modern Starfish Era.
Woodward has also authored his own series of books titled THE HANDLER and DEAD DROP, which you can find below on Amazon.
