| 0:00.0 | What's up, everyone. You're listening to Yapsnacks, a series of bite-sized content hosted by me, |
| 0:17.3 | Hala Taha. Today's episode features Best Def content from Chris Voss, the world's top |
| 0:22.7 | negotiation expert. This is part two of a two-part series. Chris is a former FBI hostage negotiator |
| 0:29.8 | and CEO of the Black Swan Group, where he uses his extensive career in international |
| 0:35.2 | crisis mitigation and high-stakes negotiation to teach people how to |
