Everyday Extraordinary Podcast: Episode 8
This episode opens against the backdrop of the Cold War – a tale of communism vs capitalism – and how the competition of ideas was just as important as the military balance and the hard power of deterrence. As the world has changed, the competition for hearts and minds have not, though the means by which people communicate and gather knowledge about the world around them has.
In 2024, information warfare continues but with a completely new arsenal of tools, like social media, that can spread a narrative within seconds. The episode highlights how Peraton is assisting the U.S. government, the broad funding challenges, and the imperative for why the US and its allies can’t afford to underinvest in these important efforts.
In this final episode, we talk with Shawn Chenoweth, who has spent most of his career delivering the right messages to the right people, diffusing tensions, and preventing bloodshed. He shares how Peraton continues to adapt these strategies to secure freedom and democracy in our modern age, ensuring that the message of peace and open society resonates worldwide.
