Former Secret Service agent Evy Poumpouras spent over 12 years protecting Presidents Obama, Bush, and Clinton while mastering the art of reading people under life or death pressure. Her insight into human behavior goes beyond what most of us will ever need, but the principles she shares apply to every conversation, negotiation, and relationship you have. She reveals why most people fail at reading others because they're looking for cookie cutter signals instead of understanding the individual in front of them. This episode strips away the Hollywood myths about lie detection and replaces them with real strategies you can use today. You'll discover why your biggest advantage in any situation isn't what you say, it's how well you listen and adapt to the person across from you.
