Show Notes

Welcome to Episode 124!

In this episode, I sit down with Eric Robinson, a former pastor and FBI Special Agent with an extraordinary backstory. You’ll hear firsthand how Eric made the unexpected journey from the pulpit to federal law enforcement, and how his years in ministry and missions shaped his approach to human intelligence — reading people, building trust, and navigating situations most of us can only imagine.

Now retired, Eric is working on his memoir, Ir-Reverend: From Saving Souls to Chasing Sinners in the FBI, a candid look at the complex, difficult, and occasionally humorous moments that defined his one-of-a-kind career.

I hope you enjoy our conversation as much as I enjoyed having it.

Sincerely,

Eric Robinson, Author, Speaker and Retired FBI Special Agent

About this week’s guest, Bryan Blackmon

After 24 years as a Special Agent with the FBI, Eric Robinson has recently retired from a career that spanned white-collar crime, counterterrorism, crimes against children, gang activity, narcotics, and public corruption investigations. Along the way, he also served as a SWAT operator, firearms instructor, and tactics instructor.

Before joining the FBI, Eric spent 12 years in Christian ministry, including a stint pastoring a Baptist church in Western New York.

Eric is preparing to release his first book — a memoir capturing the humorous, surprising, and eye-opening moments from his time in law enforcement, woven together with the chapter of his life that came before it.
