Summary

Ep 91. This episode with Evy Poumpouras might be one of my favorite conversations of all time. Evy is a multimedia journalist who once served as an agent in the US Secret Service, protecting Presidents Barack Obama, George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and others. She also worked criminal investigations, operated undercover, and was an interrogator for the agency’s polygraph unit specially trained in the art of lie detection, human behavior, and cognitive influence. It’s no wonder she believes that words are your most powerful weapon and she loves teaching about how to protect yourself, read people, influence situations, and live fearlessly.

What “chasing the good” means, especially when it comes to interpersonal relationships

0:08.1	control of your life and not let people's BS affect you and be an effective leader.
0:13.4	Our guest is so empowering and inspiring.
0:16.8	Evie Pompura started her career in the NYPD and was an amazingly effective, super tough New York cop and then decided to go into the U.S. Secret Service, which is a very elite part, of course, of our government and the people who protect us and our presidents.
0:34.6	So you can imagine the rigorous training and testing that it took to get her
0:39.2	there and to get her all the way to the end. She served as an agent in the Secret Service protecting
0:43.7	presidents like Barack Obama, George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and more. And she worked with criminal

1:38.6	We're going to talk a lot about boundaries, setting boundaries with others, not in a way that we want to be powerful by
1:46.6	the use of those boundaries, but in a way that we want to protect ourselves and uphold our own
1:51.8	self-respect. And she talks a lot about how boundaries are not what we say to people. We can't
