Carmen Medina: Kind Rebel at Work on MI6, the Dawn of the Internet, and Male-Ordered Systems, Part 2

Tue Jan 20 2026

Listen

On this very special season of Iron Butterfly Podcast, we’re going inside our first documentary feature film, titled The Power We Hold: Stories from Women Spies. This film features 10 of the most powerful women you’ve never heard of, and this season, we’ll get up close and personal with each of them. Each month, we’ll highlight a different woman, with each episode presented in two parts. For part two, we continue our episode with Carmen Medina—a retired Senior Federal Executive with 32 years in the intelligence community and former CIA Deputy Director of Intelligence. Carmen shares powerful stories from her groundbreaking career, reflects on leadership and innovation inside the intelligence world, and offers an inside look at the experiences that shaped her journey. This two-part conversation sets the stage for the season, exploring the power, resilience, and quiet influence of women who helped shape history from behind the scenes.  Follow us on social media to catch us on the road this year as we travel to film festivals across the world. We might be coming to a city near you!
