## Resource

Today, I’m joined by Robin Dreeke, United States Marine Corp veteran, global behavioral expert, master spy recruiter, and author focused on trust, relationship building, and communication. During his FBI career, Robin spent decades recruiting spies and confidential human sources in some of the highest-pressure situations imaginable. In this episode, Robin and I explore what truly builds trust in conversations and relationships. We talk about the power of non-judgmental curiosity, why great communicators focus more on understanding than convincing, and how humility and empathy create stronger connections both personally and professionally. This conversation is packed with practical takeaways for leaders, sales professionals, parents, and anyone looking to improve how they connect and communicate with others. Let’s dive in.
