Who would you call if your family member was being held hostage, and their kidnappers were demanding 50 million pounds in exchange for their safe return? We'd recommend Scott, who is a professional hostage negotiator, and probably the calmest man we've ever met. He talks about the art of persuasion, negotiation and keeping your cool in extremely high pressured situations. There are some mind boggling stats and stories in this one, enjoy.
