About this episode

Brad Beeler, who spent 25 years in the Secret Service, explains to Lewis Howes how interviewers get the truth from guarded people. He argues that being interested in a person matters more than being interesting, and that making someone feel safe calms fight or flight stress enough for honesty. Topics include the FEEL framework (family, education, employment, leisure), Maslow's hierarchy of needs, reciprocity, and confirmation bias in the Amanda Knox case.
