Lynn Jordan:
Four field tested tricks whisper
to the world. (00:00):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
"Nothing to see here," master
these and you'll move through (00:03):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
the world like vapor. (00:06):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
Becoming what is called in
prepper circles. (00:07):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
The gray man. (00:10):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
Listen to see how this works. (00:11):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
Hi. I'm the urban lady prepper. (00:14):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
I help single moms and solo (00:16):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
women with practical emergency (00:18):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
preparedness. (00:19):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
But of course, all are welcome
to be better prepared for (00:20):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
whatever happens next. (00:23):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
Picture this you step off a (00:26):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
packed subway car, shoulder to (00:28):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
shoulder with two hundred (00:29):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
strangers, and within 10s, every (00:30):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
set of eyes has already made a (00:33):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
snap judgment. (00:35):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
Are you easy money, a harmless
nobody, or maybe a problem (00:36):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
they'd rather just avoid? (00:40):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
In that blink and you missed it (00:42):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
moment, you either seamlessly (00:43):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
fade into the background, (00:45):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
becoming part of the urban hum, (00:47):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
or you land squarely on (00:48):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
somebody's radar. (00:50):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
Remembered for some reason you
didn't even intend. (00:51):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
Our modern world constantly
screams for attention and in (00:54):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
turn demands we give it back. (00:57):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
But what if you could opt out? (00:59):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
What if you could move through (01:01):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
any situation, any crowd, any (01:03):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
crisis with an almost (01:04):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
supernatural ability to remain (01:06):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
unnoticed, unremembered and (01:08):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
utterly free? (01:09):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
Well, today I'm handing you the
four field tested tricks that (01:12):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
whisper to the world. (01:15):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
Nothing to see here. (01:16):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
These aren't about hiding. (01:18):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
They're about blending. (01:19):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
About becoming so unremarkable (01:20):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
that you're effectively (01:22):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
invisible. (01:23):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
Master these and you'll move (01:24):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
through the world not as a (01:25):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
target, but as an observer, (01:27):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
keeping every option open like (01:28):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
vapor. (01:30):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
It's not about paranoia. (01:31):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
It's about power. (01:33):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
The power of choice. (01:34):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
The power of optionality. (01:35):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
Becoming what is called in
prepper circles. (01:37):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
The gray man. (01:39):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
Skill one kill the silhouette. (01:41):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
Most people think blending in (01:44):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
starts and ends with the drab (01:45):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
hoodie. (01:47):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
They grab the nearest gray (01:47):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
sweatshirt and figure they're (01:49):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
good. (01:50):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
But the real work, the
fundamental job, starts with (01:51):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
erasing the very outline that
human brains instinctively use (01:54):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
for quick threat sorting. (01:57):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
Think about it. (01:59):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
Our brains are incredibly
pattern matching machines were (02:00):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
wired to spot the unusual the
tallest crest in the crowd, the (02:03):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
brightest splash of color, the
sharpest, most defined edge. (02:07):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
These are signals. (02:11):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
And when you're trying to be a
ghost, signals are your enemy. (02:12):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
So your first mission shrink
your visual signature. (02:17):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
This means embracing mid-tone
layers charcoal grays, dusty (02:20):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
olives, muted blues, faded navy. (02:24):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
These aren't just colors. (02:27):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
They're non-colors designed not (02:29):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
to reflect light or draw the (02:31):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
eye. (02:32):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
Avoid anything with high (02:33):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
contrast or stark patterns and (02:35):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
logos. (02:37):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
Oh, logos are billboards. (02:38):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
A three inch sports brand (02:39):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
emblazoned on your chest isn't (02:41):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
just a fashion statement, it's a (02:42):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
memory hook, a piece of (02:44):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
information someone can recall (02:46):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
later. (02:47):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
Keep logos dead. (02:48):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
Center small. (02:49):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
Or better yet, gone entirely if
you must have one, ensure its (02:50):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
subtle, monochromatic and blends
into the fabric. (02:54):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
Fit matters even more than
color, believe it or not. (02:58):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
Too tight. (03:02):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
and you're advertising your
physique, potentially making (03:03):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
yourself a target or simply
memorable, too baggy and you (03:05):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
flap like a flag in the wind,
creating unnecessary movement (03:08):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
and drawing attention. (03:11):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
Your goal is the anonymous (03:13):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
middle, the cut you see on nine (03:14):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
out of ten commuters (03:16):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
comfortable, functional, and (03:18):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
utterly forgettable. (03:19):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
This isn't about being (03:21):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
unfashionable, it's about being (03:22):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
functionally invisible. (03:23):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
Finally, this is a subtle but
crucial point break up the (03:26):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
distinct head and shoulders
shape that predators both (03:29):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
literal and metaphorical. (03:32):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
Track. (03:33):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
A thin, neutral beanie or a low (03:34):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
profile ball cap rounds off the (03:36):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
crown of your head, removes your (03:38):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
hair color from the equation, (03:40):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
and subtly alters your overall (03:41):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
profile. (03:43):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
It's about disrupting the easy
read. (03:45):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
Before you step out, do a quick
mirror check. (03:47):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
Can you describe yourself in
three words? (03:49):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
Red shoes, camo pack, yellow
stripe? (03:51):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
If so, then so can the guy who (03:54):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
just decided you're worth (03:56):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
following. (03:57):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
Strip those details. (03:58):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
Keep stripping them until you're
just a grayish blur. (04:00):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
A momentary flicker in someone's (04:03):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
peripheral vision that (04:04):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
immediately gets discarded as (04:06):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
irrelevant. (04:07):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
Skill two dial down the noise. (04:09):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
Sound, my friends, is the
forgotten fingerprint. (04:12):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
It's a constant broadcast of
information you probably don't (04:15):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
even realize you're sending. (04:18):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
Think about it. (04:20):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
Those expensive clip clop dress
shoes on concrete, they carry (04:20):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
farther than a phone
conversation in a quiet room, (04:24):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
keys jingling like sleigh bells
in your pocket. (04:27):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
That's not just noise. (04:30):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
It's a siren song. (04:31):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
Screaming, distracted civilian,
ripe for a bump and grab. (04:32):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
These aren't just sounds. (04:36):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
They're cues. (04:37):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
Signals that tell the world
you're present. (04:38):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
You're here. (04:40):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
And potentially you're
vulnerable. (04:41):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
Ghosts. (04:45):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
True ghosts of the urban
landscape. (04:45):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
Move on felt soles. (04:47):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
They eliminate unnecessary
noise. (04:49):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
So swipe out that shiny metal (04:51):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
key ring for a quiet paracord (04:53):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
coil, or trade your bulky (04:54):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
leather wallet for a soft nylon (04:56):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
cardholder. (04:58):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
The difference in the sound (04:59):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
signature is immediate and (05:00):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
profound. (05:01):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
It's not about silence. (05:02):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
It's about blending into the (05:04):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
ambient noise, not contributing (05:05):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
to it with sharp, identifiable (05:07):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
sounds. (05:09):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
The same principle applies to
your bags. (05:10):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
Those plastic buckles on your
backpack. (05:12):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
They clack and rattle with every
step. (05:14):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
Magnetic snaps, on the other
hand. (05:16):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
Hush. (05:18):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
Choose wisely. (05:19):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
Once you really understand this,
walk past a busy café patio and (05:21):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
just listen to the footsteps. (05:25):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
Notice the ones that stand out. (05:27):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
The heavy stompers, the (05:29):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
scoffers, the ones with a (05:30):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
distinct rhythm. (05:32):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
Then notice the ones you don't
notice. (05:33):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
That's the cadence you want. (05:36):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
That's the goal. (05:37):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
Practice what I call the five
second shuffle. (05:39):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
It's not some spy movie (05:41):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
tiptoeing that makes you look (05:43):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
suspicious. (05:44):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
It's a mindful way of walking. (05:45):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
Slow your roll. (05:47):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
Just a fraction. (05:48):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
Let your foot kiss the ground. (05:49):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
Heel to toe deliberately, with
no scuffing or slapping. (05:50):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
It's about deleting the clear
audio cue that turns heads that (05:54):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
draws a second glance. (05:58):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
Once the ears stop noticing you. (05:59):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
Once you're no longer a distinct
audio event, the eyes almost (06:01):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
always follow suit. (06:05):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
You become part of the
background hum. (06:06):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
Unheard. (06:08):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
Unseen. (06:09):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
Now, I'm not going to lie, this (06:11):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
is something that takes time (06:12):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
because how we walk is very (06:14):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
distinct and some of us kind of (06:16):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
clomp around and I'm one of (06:18):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
them. (06:19):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
So it does take practice, but
it's worth doing. (06:20):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
Skill three control the echo you
leave behind every time you pay (06:25):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
with a phone, tap a transit card
or check in online. (06:29):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
You're not just making a (06:33):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
transaction, You're scattering (06:33):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
digital breadcrumbs. (06:35):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
And let me tell you, those
breadcrumbs can be baked into a (06:37):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
very detailed, potentially very
problematic loaf named target. (06:39):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
In our hyperconnected world,
true invisibility isn't just (06:43):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
about what people see or hear,
it's about what the algorithms (06:47):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
and data brokers can piece
together about you. (06:50):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
Let's start with the small stuff
the seemingly innocuous habits (06:53):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
your contactless payment beeps. (06:57):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
Disable them. (06:59):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
That little chime is an audio
marker. (07:00):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
When possible, use anonymized (07:02):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
transit passes or cash for small (07:04):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
purchases. (07:06):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
Avoid linking everything to your
primary identity, and for (07:07):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
regular errands like grocery
shopping, try to rotate between (07:11):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
stores or vary your schedule so
no single cashier or (07:14):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
surveillance system sees you on
a predictable recurring loop. (07:17):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
Predictability is the enemy of
the ghost. (07:20):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
Need a loyalty card for a
discount? (07:23):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
Use a common last name and a
secondary burner email account. (07:25):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
You only check once a week. (07:28):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
This isn't about being
deceitful. (07:30):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
It's about protecting your (07:32):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
privacy by making yourself a (07:33):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
less attractive, less defined (07:35):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
data point. (07:37):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
Then there's the big one your
digital footprint. (07:38):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
I know I've been covering this a (07:41):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
lot lately, but post nothing (07:42):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
real time. (07:44):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
A delayed photo shared hours, (07:45):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
even a day later blurs your (07:47):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
trail. (07:49):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
That selfie from your favorite
coffee shop. (07:50):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
It tells people exactly where
you are right now. (07:52):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
Wait. (07:55):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
Wait until after you've left
until the moment has passed. (07:56):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
If you absolutely must carry
tech and let's be honest, pretty (08:00):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
much all of us do. (08:03):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
Now set your Bluetooth and Wi-Fi (08:04):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
to manual, constant pings from (08:06):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
your device, searching for (08:09):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
networks are breadcrumbs of (08:10):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
flashing lights. (08:11):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
Broadcasting your presence to
anyone with the right scanner. (08:12):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
Geolocation on your phone? (08:15):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
Turn it off for most apps, and
certainly for your camera. (08:17):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
Every picture you take could be (08:20):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
tagging your exact location, (08:22):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
creating a digital map of your (08:23):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
life. (08:25):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
And ladies, we have to be very
careful with things like that. (08:26):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
Remember, the goal here isn't (08:30):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
some tinfoil hat wearing off (08:32):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
grid fantasy. (08:34):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
It's about making the data
brokers, the opportunistic (08:35):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
marketers, and anyone else
trying to profile. (08:38):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
You work so incredibly hard that
they give up. (08:40):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
They'll move on to chase a
louder, shinier, easier prey. (08:43):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
You want to be the fuzzy,
incomplete data set that isn't (08:47):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
worth the effort. (08:49):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
Skill four master social
grayness. (08:51):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
This is where most quote unquote
blend in guides hit a wall, and (08:54):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
frankly, where the pros truly
separate from the wannabes. (08:58):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
You can dress like wallpaper,
you can move silently, and you (09:01):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
can scramble your digital echo,
but one loud opinion in a queue (09:04):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
when overly familiar gesture,
one misplaced glance and boom, (09:08):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
you're neon again. (09:12):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
You're remembered. (09:13):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
You're no longer a ghost. (09:14):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
Your mouth, your eyes, your
posture. (09:16):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
These are powerful tools for (09:19):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
either drawing or deflecting (09:20):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
attention. (09:22):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
First, train your mouth to
mirror the local tempo. (09:23):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
Speak at the average volume for
your environment. (09:26):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
If everyone else is quiet,
you're quiet. (09:29):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
If it's a bustling market, you (09:32):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
can be a bit louder, but never (09:33):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
the loudest. (09:35):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
Keep your answers one beat
shorter than feels natural and (09:35):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
end sentences on a down note. (09:39):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
People remember peaks the (09:41):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
passionate outburst, the (09:42):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
dramatic statement. (09:44):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
The sudden laugh. (09:45):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
Don't supply them. (09:46):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
Aim for conversational
neutrality. (09:47):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
Eye contact. (09:50):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
This is crucial. (09:51):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
A sustained gaze is an (09:52):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
invitation, a A challenge or a (09:54):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
sign of intense interest for the (09:56):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
ghost. (09:58):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
It's a liability. (09:58):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
Practice the one count. (10:00):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
Glance. (10:01):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
Meet eyes briefly, then (10:02):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
immediately glance past the (10:03):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
shoulder of the person you're (10:05):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
interacting with, with the shift (10:06):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
of your focus to a neutral (10:07):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
point. (10:09):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
Break that connection quickly. (10:09):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
Nervous chatter. (10:11):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
That's a massive giveaway,
signaling discomfort or a desire (10:12):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
to be noticed. (10:16):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
Instead, cultivate the three
breath pause before responding. (10:17):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
This buys you precious time to
formulate a neutral, concise (10:21):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
answer, and it smothers the
impulse to overshare or blurt (10:24):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
out something memorable. (10:27):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
Master the art of the neutral
nod. (10:30):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
It's a powerful tool that allows
you to agree, or at least (10:32):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
acknowledge, without adding fuel
to a conversation. (10:35):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
It says, I hear you without (10:38):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
committing you to a strong (10:41):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
opinion. (10:41):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
It keeps you in the background. (10:42):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
Finally, learn the local
currency of personal space and (10:44):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
match it exactly. (10:47):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
In some cultures, standing an
arm's length away is the norm. (10:49):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
In others, it's half an arm. (10:52):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
Stand too close and you're
aggressive. (10:54):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
Too far and you're aloof. (10:56):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
Get it just right and you become
part of the human landscape. (10:58):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
Do all of this right, and even (11:02):

Lynn Jordan:
the most chatty neighbor will (11:03):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
walk away from a conversation (11:04):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
with you, unable to describe (11:06):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
your accent, your specific (11:07):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
opinions, or even the color of (11:09):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
your eyes. (11:10):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
You're there, but you're not
there. (11:11):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
Quick favor if you've ever felt
that prickle on the back of your (11:15):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
neck, that gut feeling that
trouble might be brewing and (11:17):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
wished you knew how to just
vanish before it locked on, then (11:20):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
hit that like button. (11:24):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
It tells YouTube to show this to (11:25):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
more people who need these (11:27):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
skills, and drop your best (11:28):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
stealth tip in the comments (11:30):

Lynn Jordan:
below. (11:31):

Lynn Jordan:
I read every single one and am
always sharpening the toolkit. (11:32):

Lynn Jordan:
In conclusion, being a ghost (11:36):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
isn't about paranoia or living (11:38):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
in fear. (11:40):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
It's about optionality. (11:40):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
It's about regaining a degree of
control in a world that (11:42):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
constantly tries to dictate your
presence and attention, erase (11:45):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
your distinct silhouette and you
become truly overlooked. (11:48):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
Mute your noise and you become
unheard. (11:51):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
Blending into the ambient (11:54):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
symphony of life, scramble your (11:55):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
digital echo and you become (11:57):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
untraceable, a less attractive (11:59):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
target for those who profit from (12:01):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
your data. (12:02):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
Soften your social edges and you (12:03):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
become forgotten, free from the (12:05):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
burden of being remembered or (12:06):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
profiled. (12:08):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
Stack these four powerful layers
and you move through the world (12:10):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
with a genuine superpower. (12:13):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
The power of choice. (12:14):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
The choice to be seen or not. (12:16):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
The choice to engage or merely
observe. (12:18):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
The choice to be a target or to
be free. (12:21):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
Don't try to master all of them
at once. (12:24):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
Pick one skill this week. (12:26):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
Maybe swap your bright sneakers
for neutral lows. (12:28):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
Or finally kill that key jingle. (12:30):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
Watch how quickly people stop
clocking you. (12:33):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
How the casual glances fade. (12:35):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
How you start to feel a subtle
shift in your presence. (12:37):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
These are skills that you want
to start working on sooner (12:40):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
rather than later. (12:42):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
Judging by the current
environment we're in politically (12:43):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
in the United States. (12:46):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
So start practicing and you will
begin to feel more and more (12:48):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
comfortable with it. (12:52):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
Thanks for listening and stay
safe out there. (12:54):
undefined
Lynn Jordan:
Until next time. (12:56):

Lynn Jordan:
This is the urban prepper
signing off. (12:57):
