Welcome, guys and gals to the Mantox podcast.

I'm Connor Beaton, the host and founder of Mantox.

This podcast brings together some of the best thought leaders, teachers, and extraordinary

individuals to help teach and mentor you on how to

be a top performer in life, love, and business. Joining me today is Maria Konnikova, and we are going to

dive into some very interesting topics. She has written a book called The Confidence Game in which

she unpacks the makings of con artists. What makes con artists

so effective, what we need to learn from them, and how we can actually take some of the pieces

that make con artists so effective and help us develop a deeper sense of confidence and self-awareness,

which I thought was incredibly intriguing. So she's got some fascinating,

fascinating stories of some specific connoisse, and we start to look at the different pieces.

So just before we dive in today, I just want to just give you a quick reminder, head on over

to the Mantox community on Facebook. Join the conversation there. We've got about 3,500 guys now that are a part of that community.
