Predicting the behavior of others is an urgent need for anyone whose work involves relationships with others, whether it’s leading an organization, collaborating with a teammate, or closing a sale. But predictability is not as simple as good and evil, or truth and fiction. It's one of the key tools that the FBI uses to build reliable sources that help protect the lives of millions of American's every day. In today's episode, we sit down with retired FBI Special Agent and Chief of the Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program, Robin Dreeke. He shares his stories of working with the FBI, turning assets into spies, working for the FBI in NYC during terrorist attacks on September 11th, and how building trust is the best resource for protecting the world around us.

We dive deep into his new book 'SIZING PEOPLE UP' and how you can take the same tools the FBI uses and apply them to your own life.
