Networking, niching and fraud lessons with Dean Baratta

You know I love a good career plot twist, and this week’s episode has plenty! I’m joined by Dean Baratta, an intelligence analyst with a background that includes retail banking, WeWork, and more. (Yes, that WeWork.)

We talk about Dean’s unconventional path into the world of intelligence and ethics, what he’s learned about fraud along the way, and how AI is shaking things up faster than you can say “ChatGPT.” 

In this episode:

• What his time at WeWork taught him about red flags, ethics, and charisma
• Why AI is rewriting the rules
• The underrated power of soft skills and smart networking
• How to actually use your past experience to land your next big thing

Whether you’re in fraud, ethics, or just figuring out your next move, this one’s got something for you.
