Today we are talking about a recent case out of Washington state where the State Attorney General sued the Greyhound Bus company for allowing Federal Agents to conduct warrantless immigration sweeps on their buses. In the episode we discuss some of the notable exceptions to the 4th Amendment of the constitution and we give a few examples of how those play out in everyday life. Greg also gives his opinion of the case right up front so if anyone from Greyhound Lines is listening, please pass it along to your legal team before their next payout.  Please remember to follow us on social media, you can find the links in the episode details and if you enjoyed the podcasts please tell your friends about it.

#142: Exceptions to the 4th Amendment

Today, Greg and Brian are explaining the concept of “Left of the NEXT bang.” Meaning, how do you predict what someone is likely going to do next, even in the midst of a chaotic, rapidly unfolding situation? In the episode they use the recent shooting at a Philadelphia hospital as an example of how to determine someone’s likely intent based only on what they’ve done so far; and then they explain HOW to rapidly operationalize that information to create a more desirable outcome.  Please remember to follow us on social media, you can find the links in the episode details and if you enjoyed the podcasts please tell your friends about it.

#141: Left of the NEXT bang!

Today we are talking about a recent case where a man who called himself “Handcuff Johnny” built and emplaced several pipe bombs at different locations throughout the state of Michigan. We are using this case as an example of how to do two things: 1.) Identify and understand the organization and sophistication level of ANY person, and2.) How to determine someone’s likely intent based on their specific behavior.   Please remember to follow us on social media, you can find the links below and if you enjoyed the podcasts please tell your friends about it.

#140: "Handcuff Johnny"

Today we are talking about some situations that have gone catastrophically wrong all because someone took the “F That Guy” approach. Meaning, rather than taking a second and exercising a little patience to determine the best course of action, they chose to ignore the information that was available and unnecessarily escalated the situation.In the episode we discuss things like heuristics, stereotypes, cognition biases, entitlement, and how we can learn to “trade time” in order to make better decisions. Please don’t forget to follow us on social media, you can find the links below and if you enjoyed the podcasts please tell your friends about it.

#139: F@#$ That Guy!

Today we are joined by fitness and wellness expert Dr. Darian Parker to talk about his expertise in behavior modification. Dr. Parker&apos;s experience in the fitness world parallels many of the experiences that Greg and I often discuss on the show. During the episode we touch on a number of topics including accountability, saying things you don’t really mean, and having your own value.Please don’t forget to follow us on social media, you can find the links in the episode details and if you enjoyed the podcasts please tell your friends about it.

#138: Dr. Darian Parker

Today we are talking about liability, responsibility, and of course, training! We start the conversation with a story of a police officer who sued his own agency, and several other parties, in an attempt to hold them liable for the outcome of a catastrophic and nearly deadly situation.We use this case as a starting point for a larger discussion on how litigation is the only way that policies change and sometimes not for the better. Liability and responsibility go hand in hand in many of these cases and when it comes to lawsuits, it’s important to try and determine the persons Intent, rather than their motive.Please don’t forget to follow us on social media, you can find the links in the episode details and if you enjoyed the podcasts please tell your friends about it.

#137: Whose Liable?

We recently sat down with Kevin Nahai to talk about human behavior in the context of the choices we make. Kevin is a speaker, writer, and mentor to young men and women across the globe on a number of emotional and psychological issues. We were originally introduced to Kevin by our mutual friend Reena Watts after we went on her podcast called Better Call Daddy. The reason that Reena linked us with Kevin was because we had similar reactions to a guest she had on her show who was a real-life 40 year old virgin.After an initial conversation with Kevin, we immediately wanted to have him on the show to talk about human behavior from his unique perspective as a coach, mentor, and as a person who has struggled to overcome challenges to create a better life for himself and others. Please don’t forget to follow us on social media, you can find the links in the episode details and if you enjoyed the podcasts please tell your friends about it.

#136: "Choices" with Kevin Nahai

Today we are talking about how being "too close” or “emotionally involved” in an issue can cloud our judgement and affect our reasoning. We talk about how Heuristics affect the way we analyze a situation and how things like adaptation and change blindness cause us to miss the slow subtle changes in our environment. Please don’t forget to follow us on social media, you can find the links in the episode details and if you enjoyed the podcasts please tell your friends about it.

#135: Am I "too close" to an issue?

Today we are discussing a case from Illinois where a young man accidentally beat his mother to death with a baseball bat, thinking that she was an intruder. There were a lot of contributing factors to this case that we discuss in the episode and we also spend a great deal of time talking about the fact that he is not serving any jail time for this crime.

#134: The "Drunk" Defense

Today, Greg and I are taking two seemingly unrelated stories and explaining how the mental process that the individuals chose to take were nearly identical, but with two very different decisions that led to two very different outcomes. We compared a recent shooting in Texas where a man killed his ex-wife, her boyfriend and then himself to the olympic gymnast Simone Biles who chose not to compete in an event due to mental health related issues.We bring up a number of topics during the discussion including things like “ghosting,” disruption vs interruption, and how we often choose to make things about ourselves, rather than for the greater good.Please don’t forget to follow us on social media, you can find the links in the episode details and if you enjoyed the podcasts please tell your friends about it.

#133: How can I make this about me?

Today, Greg and Brian are discussing the concept of “you knew or should have known” in the context of several recent high profile news stories where employees quit their jobs in protest. In the episode they talk about how all people have a natural tendency to want our say rather than our way and how that plays into the concept of entitlement versus enlightenment. Please don’t forget to follow us on social media, you can find the links in the episode details and if you enjoyed the podcasts please tell your friends about it.

#132: You Knew or Should Have Known

Today we  are expanding on a previous episode titled “you never know” where we talked about how it’s hard to determine what a random person you bump into on the street might be going through. In today’s episode we talk about the people who are in your “orbit” and the effect that you have on them and the effect that they have on you.Please don’t forget to follow us on social media, you can find the links in the episode details and if you enjoyed the podcasts please tell your friends about it.

#131: Who's In Your Orbit?

Today we are joined by one of our long time listeners of the show, Gilbert Tucker. Gilbert is a firefighter in a rural area outside of Denver and we asked him to come on the show and share a couple of stories where he and some of his co-workers nearly walked into a catastrophic event. During the episode we talk about things like unconscious awareness, how your memory works during stressful situations and how to identify escalating behavior versus someone who’s just always going to be a difficult person.   Please don’t forget to follow us on social media, you can find the links in the episode details and if you enjoyed the podcasts please tell your friends about it.

#130: Arriving On Scene with Gilbert Tucker

Today we are talking about a concept Brian  likes to call “you never know,” which a simple way to look at someone’s behavior and NOT draw an unreasonable conclusion about what their intent is or the type of person that they are. This concept applies to both sides of the coin as we say on the show, meaning you don’t know whether the person you accidentally spilled coffee on is already full of rage and about to have a break with reality and you also don’t know that paying someone a small compliment might be the one thing that got them through a terrible day!We get into a number of areas on the show and bring up a few recent cases as examples and Brian gives his best explanation of the “you never know” concept by referencing the 1995 classic Adam Sandler movie “Billy Madison.” Please don’t forget to follow us on social media, you can find the links in the episode details and if you enjoyed the podcasts please tell your friends about it.

#129 You Never Know

Today we are talking about the myths and realities of body language.Although body language, or “Kinesics” as we call it, is something that we teach in our courses it is not something that should be used on its own. Meaning, just like any other human behavior observation, it all depends on the context!In the episode we talk about some of the “parlor tricks” that we see people teaching  and why you should stay away from those and we also give examples of what you can and cannot prove based on the body language you’re observing. We also give you a better lexicon to describe some basic body language signals and why you should stay away from words like pre-attack indicators and some of the other examples we give.  Please don’t forget to follow us on social media, you can find the links in the episode details and if you enjoyed the podcasts please tell your friends about it.
