Summary

Former Secret Service Agent, Evy Poumpouras, breaks down what she learned in her 12 years of protecting presidents, leading criminal interrogations, and being a first-responder in terror attacks! You won't BELIEVE some of these stories! Evy teaches the Secret Squad about managing your stress and emotions, using fear to fuel you, and how to build mental armor. Whether you are in the Secret Service or have an office job, the same rules apply to having control over your thoughts and actions. Robin asks Evy about HER fears, what kept her going in training camp, and how she handled being in a field with only 2% women (hint: being underestimated is a GOOD thing!). Stay until the end for a rapid-fire game aptly called UNDER PRESSURE! More info at www.ivegotasecretwithrobinmcgraw.com See omnystudio.com/policies/listener for privacy information.
