  • I Protected Presidents and Caught Criminals | How to Read Anyone - Secret Service Agent | Ep 098
    Jan 10 2026

    Send us a text

    🤔 Brad Beeler protected President George W. Bush as a Secret Service agent. Then he spent 17 years giving more criminal polygraph exams than anyone in Secret Service history - interrogating murderers, bank robbers, child predators

    🗣️ He sat across from murderers, bank robbers, child predators, and liars of every kind. And he learned something: catching a liar isn't about reading body language.


    It's about asking the RIGHT questions.

    Brad gives you 3 questions that reveal liars almost every time. These questions work because of how our brains process lies - and most people have NO idea they're being tested.

    Bonus technique: The Tall Tale Trick

    Plus how to perfect the World's Perfect Handshake.

    And why lying is neurologically HARD to do.

    Brad's #1 Communication Rule:
    "Be the most interested person in the room. Ask 80% of the questions. Let people teach you about what they love. That's when they let their guard down."

    About Brad's Book:
    "Tell Me Everything" (February 17, 2026) - Not just about polygraphs or interrogation, it's a communication book. How to get anyone to open up, tell the truth, and connect on a deeper level.

  • How the Phillie Phanatic Saved My Life | Dave Raymond | Ep 097
    Dec 23 2025

    Send us a text

    🗣️ In 1978, Dave Raymond became the FIRST person to ever wear the Phillie Phanatic costume. He had no training, no acting experience, and his only direction? "Go have fun. G-rated fun."

    For 16 years, he brought joy to millions. He danced with nuns. He handed babies to strangers. He knocked over ground crews. He made the Phanatic an icon.

    But behind the mask, his life was falling apart.

    When tragedy struck, Dave told the Phillies he had to quit. But during his final appearances, something unexpected happened:

    "When I got out of the costume, I felt a tick better."

    The Phanatic saved his life.


    Key insights:
    🗣️ His deaf mom taught him physical comedy - becoming his greatest gift when he needed it most
    🗣️ "Go have fun" was his only direction - he made it up as he went
    🗣️ The fanatic puts the FUN in funerals - powerful fun works everywhere
    🗣️ Philadelphia fans threw snowballs at Santa because "Santa sucked that day"
    🗣️ He handed babies to strangers for laughs (yes, really)
    🗣️ Vodka + water = the secret to cleaning mascot costumes
    🗣️ When you're in crisis, your brain tells you things feel "legitimate" that aren't
    🗣️ A 17-year-old girl told him she was thinking about ending her life - after hearing his story, she changed her mind


    POWERFUL FUN methodology:
    🗣️ F = Force (Fun isn't just for break time - it's a tool everywhere)
    🗣️ U = Universal (It works at funerals, hospitals, layoffs - anywhere)
    🗣️ N = No (Learning to overcome the "fun killers" who say "don't do that")

  • He Left His Career to Give Women What They're Starving For | Ep 096
    Dec 6 2025

    Send us a text

    "You can rent. You can't buy." That's George Goulburn's mantra and it's the key to understanding one of the most emotionally complex professions in the world.
    George is a male paid companion in Australia. Most of his clients are women 45-80 who haven't experienced intimacy in years. Some have been in sexless marriages for 10+ years. Others are widows who thought desire was behind them.
    He says, "The misconception is that it's just about physical intimacy. It absolutely is not." But George has a problem: He's TOO good. "You've set the bar too high," clients tell him. "No one else will be able to step up to your level." When you provide genuine intimacy—when you make women feel truly seen and desired—they fall in love. Easily. So how does George maintain boundaries while giving someone the experience of their life? "That can be heartbreaking," George admits. "It can be really tough." What these ladies are paying for is feeling seen, desired, and safe—without complications.

    🗣️ He vets every client through hours of conversations
    🗣️ He turns away 80% of potential clients
    🗣️ If he's not the right fit, he won't take the money
    🗣️ He'd rather transform a woman once than keep her dependent

    🗣️ Our `Australian` guest shares insights on the delicate balance between physical connection and companionship, highlighting how genuine `relationships` offer something `artificial intelligence` cannot replicate. This conversation explores the profound `ai limit` in mimicking true human interaction, emphasizing the irreplaceable value of a simple touch. It truly resonates with the `heart strings`, reminding us that some experiences are uniquely human and beyond the reach of technology.
