  • Summary

  • Ever walked into a conversation and felt like you were on the losing end before it even started? Whether it’s a tough negotiation, a disagreement at home, or just trying to get someone to see your side, there’s a right and wrong way to do it—and Chris Voss is the guy to teach it. I’ve been a fan of Chris’s work for a long time, and getting to sit down with him was a masterclass in negotiation, tactical empathy, and human connection. Chris is a former FBI hostage negotiator, the author of Never Split the Difference, and the CEO of The Black Swan Group. His negotiation tactics aren’t just for high-stakes situations—they work everywhere. And in this episode, he breaks it all down for us.

This is so awesome!

If there is something I can learn for the first time, or be reminded of, or possibly be taught in a new light, it’s stuff like this that is life changing. This stuff is like building personal pyramid, one stone at a time. It applies to my personal and professional life … that helps me grow and be a better human being.

Jefferson, outstanding advice and guidance

Being in healthcare (RN) professionally and in my personal life, what I’ve learned in the short 2 weeks of listening to you has been a huge game changer. I bought your book right away, (I was in line for it to be released patiently waiting) -From dealing with 1-2 difficult family members, difficult patients, and challenging co-workers and accounts, I will be applying these tactics in hopes of better outcomes in communication, happiness and less stress. A big thank you to your parents who have done a phenomenal job raising you! From NC, God Bless! 🙏🏻
