In this episode of CI Press, cohosts Ryan Rambo and Dave Turner sit down with Marine Counterintelligence veteran Dan Williams, who shares his unconventional journey from high-school dropout to a highly skilled CI, HUMINT, and technical operator supporting Marine Expeditionary Units, SEAL teams, and MARSOC.

Dan recounts frontline experiences from Kabul and Mosul, breaks down how Marine CI enables special operations and interagency missions, and offers hard-earned guidance for transitioning into the commercial sector—highlighting the importance of mentorship, relationship-building, and delivering real value to employers.
