184. How to Deliver a Ransom with Rob Phayre

Today Justin sits down with Rob Phayre. Rob served for seven years in the British Army as a helicopter pilot and commander.  After leaving the service, he moved to Kenya and opened his own business before moving into a second career in security and crisis management a few years later. Much of his time involved responding to Somali piracy and hostage taking in East Africa.  He's helped resolve nearly 40 hostage incidents, both on and offshore, across Africa. Two of those ransoms have held the Guinness World Records for the largest ransoms ever paid for the release of hostages at sea. Rob has also published three novels and a series of short stories just since 2021.  He's here to discuss his newest book, How to Deliver a Ransom. It's a handbook for understanding, preventing, and surviving some of the most dangerous situations that take place around the world every day, including hijackings and kidnappings for ransom. Connect with Rob:robphayre.comhowtodeliveraransom.comTwitter/X: @robphayreIG: @robertphayreCheck out the book, How To Deliver A Ransom, here.https://howtodeliveraransom.com/Transform your career using spy skills from OC Strategic:https://academy.ocstrategic.com/Connect with Spycraft 101:Get Justin's latest book, Murder, Intrigue, and Conspiracy: Stories from the Cold War and Beyond, here.spycraft101.comIG: @spycraft101Shop: shop.spycraft101.comPatreon: Spycraft 101Find Justin's first book, Spyshots: Volume One, here.Check out Justin's second book, Covert Arms, here.Download the free eBook, The Clandestine Operative's Sidearm of Choice, here.Grayman Briefing ClassifiedUse code GBCSpycraft to save 20% on your subscription.Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.
