In this episode, newly retired Mark Dupont joins hosts Joe Sheridan and Jeremy Clark for a conversation tracing his journey from field artillery and JAG service to his role as Senior Intelligence Oversight Official. They explore the evolution of intelligence oversight in historical context, from the Pike and Church investigations to Executive Order 12333.
Mark introduces his three-question oversight framework, Can I, May I, Should I, and examines key challenges in counterintelligence reform, including metrics, prioritization, and multi-discipline integration. He also underscores the growing need to balance proactive defense with the protection of civil liberties as intelligence capabilities become increasingly pervasive.
In addition, Mark shares leadership insights through the SCARF model for understanding human dynamics, outlines his new leadership development initiatives, and encourages practitioners to build trust, report concerns, and pursue holistic oversight across government and industry.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
