Description

If you took driver’s education, you probably remember being told to keep your hands at 10:00 o’clock and 2:00 o’clock on the steering wheel. That may have been some really bad advice. We begin this episode with a discussion on the best way to steer your car. http://www.thedrive.com/start-finish/9882/team-oneil-shows-how-to-position-your-hands-on-the-wheel
Is it possible to get someone to tell you the truth when they don’t want to? Jack Schafer says it is. As a former FBI agent, he has developed a technique based on some simple psychological principles that will get people to tell you things they never meant to. Jack is author of the book The Truth Detector: An Ex-FBI Agent’s Guide for Getting People to Reveal the Truth (https://amzn.to/30we8WU) and he joins me to discuss how you can use this technique and the reasons why it is so effective.
I bet you see and hear birds every day. Yet, you probably don’t think about them very much. Still, they are fascinating creatures and they have some extraordinary characteristics. For example, did you know that all birds are actually dinosaurs? Science writer Jennifer Ackerman has written articles for Scientific American, National Geographic and The New York Times. She is also author of a book called The Bird Way (https://amzn.to/2ZOvQpw) and she joins me to offer up some fascinating facts that will give you a new appreciation for birds.
You have to be careful what you say in a job interview. For instance, it’s difficult to brag about how humble you are because, well, how humble can you be if you are bragging about it? There are other words besides humble that are best left out of your self-description when you go on a job interview. Listen as I reveal what they are. https://www.themuse.com/advice/5-words-you-should-never-use-to-describe-yourself-in-an-interview
