> ACTIVE NETWORK / D & BEAU
EXPERIENCE MEETS CURIOSITY.
GrandpaSpy began with Beau asking his grandfather the questions most people would never have the opportunity to ask.
David brings decades of experience from the worlds of intelligence, law and national security. Beau brings curiosity, directness and absolutely no hesitation in challenging him.
Their conversations have built a remarkable public relationship—and a growing Network drawn to David’s experience, Beau’s questions and the understanding shared between two generations.

THE QUESTIONS CHANGE. THE TRUST DOESN’T.
At the heart of GrandpaSpy is the relationship between David and Beau. Their conversations move easily between espionage, history, growing up, making mistakes and recognising when something simply does not feel right.
Beau gets access to a lifetime of experience without receiving a lecture. David gets challenged by someone who is unimpressed by titles, rank or reputation—and who will always ask the follow-up question.
The intelligence stories draw people in. The honesty, advice and affection between them are what keep the Network returning.

THE NETWORK ASKS.
D ANSWERS.
The audience is part of GrandpaSpy. Followers send questions, challenge assumptions and suggest subjects for David and Beau to investigate together.
Some want to understand intelligence and national security. Others come for David’s advice, Beau’s persistence or the relationship between them. Every question has the potential to become the next transmission.
