Operations: Binary Bogeymen with The Strategic Linguist

What happens when a national security AI startup writes a job ad entirely in spy-movie trailer voice? Jen and Paul find out, with backup from a very special guest: Rebecca Wicker, aka The Strategic Linguist, who knows exactly what words like "faceless," "borderless," and "adversary" are doing to your brain while you read them.

The mission, should you choose to accept it: a business operations hire who wears many hats, sees nothing fall through the cracks, and lies awake at night with "an iota of paranoia" about fires brewing at a 50-person company. The spoils reaped won't be denominated in material terms... so who needs a salary?

Is it brilliant filtering or pure FUD-style fear, uncertainty, and doubt marketing? Is it hero framing or a recruitment red flag with a security clearance (maybe)? And who exactly are these six mythical candidates they think exist?
