Her guest is Evy Poumpouras, a former secret service agent who has protected 5 former U.S presidents.

She is a “human lie detector” who has been specially trained in the art of lie detection, human behavior, and cognitive influence.

And today, she is giving you a masterclass of all of her best secrets from over 3 decades of training and experience.
