Brian Galke, known as The Decoding Detective, is a master of interpersonal communication and a tactical keynote speaker who helps people see what others miss. His path to success was not linear. After battling social anxiety early in life, Brian transformed that challenge into a competitive advantage, rising through demanding retail and service environments to ultimately manage a forty million dollar portfolio as a Regional Vice President of Sales. This episode dives into the mindset shift that made that transformation possible.
At the core of Brian’s work is his expertise in decoding facial features, a skill that goes far beyond surface level communication. These techniques became a turning point in his career and now serve as a powerful tool for leaders, sales professionals, and teams looking to sharpen their edge. Brian has shared the stage with some of the most respected names in business and negotiation, including Chris Voss, Brad Lea, Rene Rodriguez, Janine Driver, Steve Sims, Amberly Lago, and more. His insights are practical, memorable, and immediately usable.
In this conversation, Brian breaks down how reading people accurately changes outcomes in business and life. He explains how awareness, observation, and emotional intelligence can unlock trust, influence, and growth at a higher level. This episode is a deep look at how mastering human behavior can accelerate both personal confidence and professional performance.
