0:00.0	Hello friends, welcome back. My guest today is none other than Chris Voss, the ex-lead international
0:07.6	kidnapping negotiator for the FBI, now turned CEO and best selling author. Chris is someone
0:14.9	who is negotiated under the highest imaginable pressure, with kidnappers, bank robbers and
0:20.6	terrorists. Also, we think that Denzel Washington has played him in a couple of different films,
0:27.8	although Chris is definitely someone who is worth his salt. Today, expect to learn the single
0:33.6	most powerful phrase in communication, how to say no more effectively, how to improve your
0:38.6	confidence during a discussion, Chris' best strategies for de-escalating a disagreement,
0:43.3	his opinion on Trump's communication style, and much more. This episode is just so much fun.
0:50.6	It's been over 18 months that I've been planning this with Chris, and his hectic schedule has
0:56.8	meant that we've kept on moving it back and kept on moving it back, but it was so worth the wait.

1:26.0	site-wide, they've just extended that deal to all of Europe as well. If you're listening outside
1:32.0	of the UK and in Europe, you can get 20% off the entire Reebok website. That includes their
1:40.2	phenomenal NanoX training shoe. Keep banging on about it until you buy a pair. We have sold quite
1:46.0	a lot of pairs off the back of this discount code, and we're not going to stop. I am in love with
1:52.0	the NanoX. I have been since I've worn them for the very first time in 2018, and I've not switched
1:57.1	training shoes since. It's very hard to describe if you haven't worn a proper training shoe, just
2:02.7	how big of a difference it makes to have something which is stable and supportive and actually built
2:07.3	to lift in. But I implore you, if you are going to the gym, make sure that the first thing you get
