The fastest way to wreck a hard-won calm is to say one more thing. In this episode, dig into the escalation trap that shows up in boardrooms, squad cars, kitchens, and group texts: the moment an interaction starts to stabilize, we keep pressing because we still feel the original disrespect, risk, or resistance. That’s when accountability quietly turns into humiliation, and influence turns into a contest.

We talk through why capable, experienced people miss the off-ramps. Stress narrows perception, ego wants a “win,” and an audience makes us perform. The fix starts with updating your baseline and reading behavior in context, not getting hypnotized by the words. Reduced intensity is information, not proof, so we walk through what to watch for: distance, fixation, posture, speech becoming more organized, and whether the person is actually moving toward a least objectionable way out.

You’ll also get a simple self-check you can use before you speak or hit send: STOP. Separate the present from the past, Test your purpose, Observe the direction of behavior, and Pick the proportionate next move. We apply it to real scenarios and share how a bystander or teammate can step in without making things worse. If this helps, subscribe, share it with a friend, and leave a review.

Night vision keeps getting smarter, but our brains do not update on the same schedule. We’re joined by defense expert Alan Kearney, a former Irish Defence Forces officer who now works in European defense industry, to explore a problem that reaches far beyond goggles and helmets: what happens when advanced soldier systems outpace human cognition in the exact moments stress is highest?

We start with the fundamentals of modern night vision and thermal fusion, then move into the messy reality of human performance. Under lethal threat, the sympathetic response and HPA axis change attention, memory, and perception. That’s where latency, digital overlays, AI cueing, and networked data can become more than “extra information” they can become friction. We talk human factors engineering, cognitive load, pattern recognition, and why an information feed is not the same thing as situational awareness.

From aviation lessons to procurement-room demo traps, we pressure-test the assumptions behind modernization. We also dig into mission command and the risks that come with total visibility, plus the long-term cost of over-reliance on tools that quietly erode core skills. The takeaway is not anti-tech. It’s a human-first approach: design systems that match neurobiology, and raise the baseline with realistic training and training to failure so warfighters are never learning the hard way.

In this episode, we’re talking about probabilistic thinking and why language matters more than most people realize. The central idea is simple: most bad decisions don’t come from a lack of information, they come from mislabeling information. 

When we apply labels too early, we collapse probability, reduce our options, and lock ourselves into conclusions that may not be accurate. We’ll break down how this happens, why your baseline matters, and how small changes in language can dramatically improve your decision-making under pressure.

Your gut has tried to warn you before. That flicker when someone lingers by a bathroom door, shadows you to the elevator, or blocks your path with a smile and a prop—it’s not paranoia, it’s a baseline breaking. We dig into a practical method for spotting a cunning opponent early, whether it’s a low-level hustler at the pump or a higher-stakes actor at a major event. The mechanics of deception don’t change; only the stakes do.

We start by stripping away the jargon and defining terms that keep you clear-headed. Opponent isn’t “enemy”; it’s anyone competing for advantage in a shared environment. From there, we map the four recurring tools that reveal intent: access, blending, manipulation, and timing. You’ll learn how bad actors create closeness, hide in plain sight with props and roles, steer your attention, and pick their moment. Then we teach BASE—Baseline, Anomaly, Simplest explanation, Experiment—a concise loop you can run in real time to test what you think you’re seeing without overreacting.

You’ll hear concrete examples from gas stations, hotels, tourist piers, and event lines, plus how to communicate what matters with short, useful language that prompts action. We walk through MLCOA versus MDCOA to balance likely and dangerous interpretations, then show low-calorie experiments—changing angle, reversing course, quick contact, second set of eyes—that force a reaction and buy time and distance. If you can catch a shoplifter’s access play, you can disrupt a more serious plan using the same cues. This is situational awareness you can practice today: clean, repeatable, and calm under pressure.

When decisions can’t wait for perfect data, you need methods that actually work in the real world. We sit down with Brian Moon to pull naturalistic decision making out of journals and into the field where cops, medics, operators, and executives make consequential calls under stress, time pressure, and uncertainty. The conversation opens with a clear critique: elegant lab studies often miss the work. From there, we rebuild on stronger ground; agency, process, and the lived patterns of true expertise. 

Brian traces why experience isn’t just hours served but exposure to hard problems, responsibility for outcomes, and honest feedback that reshapes judgment. We unpack how experts blend rapid recognition with deliberate checks, using counterfactuals to keep first interpretations from hardening too soon. If you lead training, you’ll get specific moves: design scenarios that force ownership of the whole problem; capture tacit cues through structured debriefs; and teach a shared language for uncertainty so teams can flexecute as conditions change. We also push into high-friction topics like use-of-force errors and pathways to violence, showing how process signals, not labels or post-hoc narratives, offer the best chance to prevent bad outcomes.

Across the hour, you’ll hear how to spot and grow real SMEs, why credentials alone fall short, and how to engineer environments where sensemaking becomes a habit instead of a hope. Whether you work a midnight shift or a corner office, you’ll leave with practical tools to clean up your decisions this week and a sharper lens for understanding human behavior where it actually happens: on the street, on the line, and in the moment.

In today’s episode, we’re flipping the lens inward. You’ve heard us talk about reading the world around you — the external baseline — but what about reading yourself? 

What It Is (Street Definition)

Your internal baseline is your mental operating system. It’s the framework that shapes how you see, think, and react under stress. It’s built from everything you’ve lived, learned, and believed:

• Past Experiences: The lessons, scars, and memories that form your personal rulebook.
• Training & Conditioning: The shortcuts and instincts your brain relies on when there’s no time to think.
• Values & Beliefs: The unseen filters that shape what you think is right, wrong, or risky.
• Policies & Procedures: The internal and external rules you follow (often unconsciously).
• Cognitive Limits: The hard caps of being human: fatigue, stress, emotion, and biology. 

The core question: “Where do I think I am — and where am I actually?”
The gap between what you believe and what’s real determines how well you can sense, decide, and act.

In this powerful and highly practical episode, we unpack one of the most important (and misunderstood) aspects of human behavior analysis: the concept of baseline plus anomaly equals decision (B + A = D). 

During the episode, we dive deep into why our cultural obsession with "red flags" and anomalies often leads us astray, and why everything starts with understanding normal.

We also challenge the reactive approach to behavior analysis that seeks checklists for “bad actors” and instead, we show how developing a high-fidelity, context-rich baseline is the real key to situational awareness and predictive analysis. We briefly explore the origins of the Combat Hunter program, and provide real-world examples (from garbage day confusion to gas station parking lots), and illustrate how unconscious pattern recognition drives both correct and incorrect decisions.

Here's what you'll learn:

• Why context is king in behavioral observation
• How your brain already makes constant baseline-anomaly comparisons and how to do it better
• Why focusing only on anomalies can lead to dangerous blind spots
• How to build robust baselines using simple daily exercises
• What professionals (LE, military, teachers, EMTs) can do to spot pre-event indicators earlier

This episode is a must-listen for anyone in high-stakes roles, parents, educators, or anyone who wants to improve their ability to "read the room" (and their world)  with greater clarity and confidence.

What happens when theory meets reality in a life-or-death situation? Dan Chavez found out firsthand when he and his wife suddenly found themselves in the middle of an active shooter incident. In this riveting conversation, Dan walks us through the split-second decisions that likely saved his life and, more importantly, how his training in behavioral awareness created automatic responses that kicked in when his conscious mind had no time to deliberate.

The power of Dan's story lies not just in its intensity, but in how perfectly it illustrates why traditional approaches to training often fail. "Most training is descriptive rather than prescriptive," Dan explains. "You walk away thinking 'that was great, I'm more aware,' but it doesn't translate into actionable skills." As VP of Training Innovation and Performance, Dan brings a unique perspective that bridges academic understanding with real-world application.

This episode dives deep into the neuroscience of crisis response, examining how our limbic system takes control under threat and why the habits we've practiced become our default actions. We explore Human Performance Technology as an alternative to conventional training, starting with organizational outcomes rather than learning objectives, and measuring success through observable behavioral changes rather than classroom hours.

Whether you're responsible for training others or simply want to better prepare yourself for high-stress situations, this conversation offers invaluable insights into how genuine proficiency develops. As Dan discovered in that bar when shots were fired, the difference between theoretical knowledge and trained behavior can mean everything when seconds count.

Have you ever walked away from a conversation feeling like you missed something important? The truth is, you probably did; and it's likely because you didn't ask the right questions.

In this illuminating episode, we dive deep into the art and science of asking better questions – not just to avoid awkward small talk, but to genuinely understand people, spot intentions, and make smarter decisions. Whether you're managing a team, raising teenagers, or simply trying to navigate social situations more effectively, the ability to ask strategic questions is a powerful skill worth developing.

Greg shares his expertise on "psychological disarming" – techniques that help people open up naturally without feeling manipulated. We explore how context shapes every interaction, why curiosity is fundamentally a survival trait, and how to balance open-ended exploration with direct inquiry. You'll discover practical approaches for starting meaningful conversations, recovering from awkward moments, and building rapport that serves you well beyond the initial interaction.

What sets effective questioners apart isn't just what they ask, it's how they create an environment where others feel comfortable sharing. As Greg explains, "Humans are on transmit, so let them transmit." Your job is simply to tune into the right frequency by asking questions that matter.

This episode offers immediately applicable techniques for everyday situations from business meetings to family dinners to chance encounters. Listen now to transform how you connect with others and dramatically improve the quality of information you receive.

What if your memory's "flaws" are actually its most powerful features? 

The startling truth is your memory was never designed to function like a perfect recording—it's a creative, adaptive system built to help you survive and thrive. Those moments when you confidently recall something that never happened exactly as you remember? That's not a glitch—it's your brain doing exactly what it evolved to do.

In this fascinating exploration, we unpack why your memories slip, warp, and even deliberately deceive you—and why that's incredibly valuable. Using the compelling metaphor of Lego bricks, we reveal how memories are constructed, disassembled, and rebuilt slightly differently each time you recall them. This process isn't random; it's purposeful adaptation that helps you make sense of an otherwise chaotic world.

We dive into the science behind why we forget (retrieval cues and brain auditing), why memories distort (reconstruction and encoding), and how biases influence what we remember (survival priorities and emotional regulation). From phantom limbs to dream science, we explore cutting-edge research showing how these memory "quirks" actually help us learn faster, avoid danger, and emotionally process difficult experiences.

Most importantly, we share practical techniques to work with—not against—your brain's natural memory systems. Learn how to use spaced retrieval, emotional tagging, immediate documentation, and structured recall to lock in crucial information when it matters most. Whether you're a student, professional, or simply someone who's ever walked away from an important conversation only to later realize you remembered it all wrong, these insights will transform how you understand and harness your mind's remarkable capabilities.

We explore why organizations rush toward new tech, convinced that shiny equipment will solve their deepest problems when often the issues are fundamentally about training, judgment, and decision-making.

• The Boeing 737 MAX case study demonstrates how technological "fixes" without proper training led to catastrophic failures
• Most resource decisions are reactive, not strategic, with organizations buying gear instead of investing in people
• Tools are the default solution because they offer tangible ROI, political safety, and avoid accountability for leadership
• Technology enhances execution after a decision has been made but doesn't affect whether the decision itself was appropriate
• Training operates "left of bang" by teaching when to act and how to assess situations, regardless of available tools
• The critical question: "If you removed all your high-speed gear, would your people still make good decisions?"
• The real ROI comes from developing good judgment under pressure, not from acquiring more equipment
• Rather than measuring success by resources spent, focus on measurable outcomes and performance improvements

Mental errors don't just lead to embarrassing moments—they can be fatal. When your brain categorizes something as familiar and routine, it filters out critical information that could save your life.

The duck versus platypus problem perfectly captures this dangerous cognitive trap. Both creatures share remarkably similar features—broad bills, webbed feet, semi-aquatic lifestyles—but only one has venomous spurs that could put you in the hospital. When you mistake a platypus for a duck, you've missed the most important detail.

Through two powerful real-world examples, we unpack how this error pattern repeats in high-stakes environments. A paramedic, responding to what appeared to be a routine medical call, was fatally stabbed by a patient with a violent history he never knew about. Law enforcement officers, celebrating their successful drug bust, failed to properly search a suspect who was carrying a loaded gun all the way into the jail. In both cases, what people thought they were seeing wasn't what was actually there.

The second analogy we explore—outrunning your headlights—explains why we miss these critical signals. Sometimes we're moving too fast to process what's in front of us. Other times, we've forgotten to turn on our mental headlights altogether. Either way, we're blind to dangers lurking ahead.

Our brains are wired for this type of error. Each time we successfully navigate a situation, dopamine reinforces the pattern, making us more confident and less careful the next time around. We follow our unconscious roadmap rather than creating our own, questioning, and exploring the territory.

This episode isn't about blaming victims of these errors—it's about recognizing the universal human tendency to miss critical information when we think we already know what we're dealing with. By slowing down, paying attention to incongruent signals, and getting comfortable with not immediately knowing all the answers, we can create the space needed to see things as they truly are.

Have you encountered your own duck versus platypus situations? We'd love to hear about times when slowing down and questioning assumptions made all the difference in your life or work.

Gary Klein, renowned cognitive psychologist and pioneer of the Recognition-Primed Decision Model, takes us deep into the minds of experts operating under the most demanding conditions. Drawing from decades studying firefighters, law enforcement officers, and military personnel, Klein reveals the surprising truth about expertise - it's not about comparing options or following procedures, but rather recognizing patterns developed through years of experience.

What makes this conversation exceptional is Klein's ability to demystify the seemingly magical "gut instincts" of experts. He explains how professionals don't simply follow intuition blindly but engage in rapid mental simulations to test their responses before acting. This blend of pattern recognition and analysis enables split-second decisions in life-or-death situations where traditional analytical methods would take far too long.

Klein's insights challenge conventional thinking about bias and expertise. While academia often emphasizes the flaws in intuitive thinking, Klein's research demonstrates how heuristics and expertise-driven pattern matching serve as powerful tools in real-world settings. His Shadowbox training method, which allows novices to see through expert eyes, offers a revolutionary approach to accelerating expertise development.

The conversation explores fascinating concepts like tacit knowledge (expertise that can't be easily articulated), the importance of curiosity in developing expertise, and why voluntary compliance techniques are crucial for law enforcement. Klein also discusses his ongoing work on developing more effective training methods and his continued fascination with the phenomenon of insight.

For anyone who makes decisions under pressure, works in high-stakes environments, or simply wants to understand how expertise truly functions, this episode provides invaluable wisdom from one of the field's most influential thinkers. Listen, share with colleagues, and discover how training your cognitive skills might be more important than any checklist or procedure.

The sciences behind human behavior are complex, yet the practical applications are what truly matter in our daily lives. In this illuminating discussion, we peel back the layers of scientific theory to reveal how concepts like gestalt psychology, emergence, and reification shape the way we perceive and interact with the world around us.

Our brains are constantly working to create order from chaos, organizing visual information into patterns that make sense to us. This natural tendency explains why eyewitnesses can be utterly convinced of details they never actually saw, or why we might misinterpret objects based on context alone. As Greg describes through compelling real-world examples from combat zones to everyday situations, "The untrained mind believes what it expects, not what it sees."

We explore how these scientific principles translate into practical frameworks like "baseline plus anomaly equals decision" - a formula that allows you to quickly identify threats and opportunities in any environment by understanding what's normal and noticing meaningful departures from that norm. Rather than getting bogged down in academic terminology, we focus on how these concepts can be applied in high-pressure situations where quick, accurate decision-making is essential.

The power of emergence - that "aha moment" when everything suddenly clicks into place - becomes a cornerstone of effective learning and observation. When you experience these moments of clarity on your own rather than being told what to see, the lessons become hardwired into your consciousness, available even under extreme stress. Through storytelling and practical examples, we demonstrate how you can sharpen these skills in your everyday life, from workplace interactions to personal relationships.

What if you could spot danger before it materializes? What if your decision-making advantage wasn't about reacting faster, but about seeing what others miss entirely? 

The gift of time and distance isn't just tactical jargon—it's a profound cognitive framework that separates reactive individuals from those who shape outcomes. This episode dives deep into how early detection of critical cues combined with expanded decisional space creates a powerful cognitive edge in both high-stakes and everyday situations.

We explore the fascinating paradox of human perception: we're wired with incredible pattern recognition abilities, yet our emotional responses often hijack these systems exactly when we need them most. The true masters of situation awareness aren't necessarily the tactical experts—they're those who can process information differently, identifying the symptoms of developing situations long before they manifest.

Through compelling real-world examples—from hostage negotiations to everyday safety practices—we demonstrate how this approach transcends professional domains. The concept isn't about paranoia or hypervigilance; it's about calibrating your attention to notice what matters. Simple habits like checking store interiors before entering, understanding normal environmental patterns, or pausing briefly before making decisions can dramatically improve your cognitive positioning.

Perhaps most importantly, we address why these seemingly obvious practices are so rarely implemented consistently. The emotional impulse to act immediately, the false comfort of routine, and our natural tendency toward immediate gratification all compete against our better judgment. Yet with consistent practice and a framework like our HBPRA methodology, these skills become second nature.

Ready to develop your cognitive edge? Join us as we unpack the strategies that transform reactive individuals into proactive decision makers. Whether you're in law enforcement, business, education, or simply want to navigate life more effectively, this episode provides actionable insights to anticipate problems before they escalate and identify opportunities others miss entirely.

What if fear, rather than fairness or loyalty, is the ultimate compass guiding our moral judgments? On this episode of the Human Behavior Podcast, we explore this provocative question inspired by Elizabeth Colbert's article in the New Yorker. Joining us is moral psychologist Kirk Gray, whose compelling theory suggests our ethical decisions are deeply rooted in the fear of harm, a vestige of our evolutionary history. We contrast this with Jonathan Haidt's Moral Foundations Theory, which posits that multiple moral modules influence our judgments. Our discussion navigates through these contrasting theories, shedding light on how emotional storytelling often overshadows raw data in debates around polarizing issues like abortion and immigration.

Venturing further, we unravel how fear, an evolutionary advantage, impacts our perceptions of existential threats and moral discourse. We draw parallels between ancient survival instincts and modern challenges, such as artificial intelligence and political polarization. Using allegories like the cave, we highlight the tension between perceived safety and the unknown, illustrating how comfort zones can hinder groundbreaking achievements. As we dissect the media's role in amplifying fear, we caution against the oversimplification of complex issues, likening it to the tale of horses with fangs—a narrative that distorts scientific truths and manipulates public perception.

Turning our focus to decision-making, we probe the intricate interplay of instincts, ethics, and survival decisions. We discuss the role of training and adaptability in high-pressure situations, emphasizing how experience shapes our responses to unpredictable scenarios. By examining real-life examples, such as a controversial self-defense case, we illuminate the complexities of aligning personal instincts with societal and legal standards. Throughout, we underscore the timeless nature of human concerns and the importance of collective learning and adaptability in tackling both historical and contemporary issues. Join us for this thought-provoking exploration of the forces shaping our ethical landscape.

Hello everyone and welcome back to The Human Behavior Podcast! After a brief hiatus filled with some exciting projects, I'm thrilled to jump into a topic that's both timeless and timely—the concept of time itself.

In this episode, Greg and I unravel the complexities of how we perceive time and how it shapes our experiences, decisions, and behaviors. Drawing from ancient Greek philosophies, we distinguish between Kronos (quantitative, chronological time) and Kairos (qualitative, experiential time), setting the stage for a deep exploration of how these concepts play out in our daily lives.

During the episode we discuss things like the emotional influence on time perception, how attention affects our perception of time, how memory and aging has an influence on time, and we give some practical examples on how we can manipulate our perception of time in order to give ourselves the gift of time and distance!

So sit back, relax, and get ready to expand your understanding of time—not just as numbers on a clock, but as a profound element that influences every facet of human behavior.

This week, we're debunking the myth that "anything can happen." 
In today's episode, we'll explore how adopting this mindset can increase uncertainty and cognitive load—especially in high-risk environments—and how it might set us up for failure. Instead of believing that "anything can happen," we'll focus on reducing uncertainty by deepening our understanding of human behavior and utilizing practical tools like game theory, probability, and Bayes’ theorem.

Join us as we dive into why strategic thinking, modeled through games, is essential for real-life decision-making. We'll discuss how you can leverage both the knowns and unknowns in human interactions to predict behavior more effectively, minimize ambiguity, and ultimately make better, more informed decisions. Whether you're involved in law enforcement training, making everyday choices, or viewing human behavior as a strategic game, this episode is packed with insights to help you think sharper and be better prepared for whatever comes your way.

In this week's podcast episode, we are joined by one of our Advisory Board members, Dr. Joan Johnston, to talk about why high functioning teams fail. With over 30 years of experience working with the Department of Defense, Dr. Johnston is an expert on decision making and simulation training. Throughout her career she has made a significant impact on advancing the science of Learning, Team Training, Decision Making under Stress, Performance Measurement, and Organizational Development.

For this episode, we use the tragic incident involving the USS Vincennes where the guided missile destroyer accidentally shot down an Iranian passenger plane after mistaking it for an F-14 fighter jet, as a focal point of the discussion. Dr. Johnston walked us through the critical errors that were made during that incident, the role that stress plays on communication and decision-making, and she shares her insights on what it takes to build more resilient, high-performing teams.

This episode is a powerful reminder of the human factors that influence decision-making and how easily things can go wrong—even with the best of teams. But it also provides a hopeful message: with effective training, strong leadership, and a commitment to learning from past mistakes, we can build teams that are more resilient, adaptable, and prepared to handle the challenges they face.

This week we are “unmasking” a landmark case from New York that challenges our views on policing, legislation, and the balance between security and civil liberties. During the episode we explore the arrest of an 18-year-old under a new mask ban law, delving into the legal and social implications of this contentious issue and how this legislation provides the police with a new method for establishing reasonable suspicion, and what it means for our rights and protections under the Constitution.
 
 Our discussion dives into the intricate nuances of law enforcement discretion around mask-wearing. We illustrate how behaviors like "urban masking" and "social camouflage" can influence police decisions, and why clear guidelines are crucial to avoid arbitrary enforcement. By examining historical context and the modern-day application of mask laws, we shed light on the challenges officers face when navigating the fine line between letter-of-the-law enforcement and the spirit-of-the-law discretion. We also highlight the importance of contextual cues and the totality of circumstances in making stops or arrests.
 
 Our conversation emphasizes the necessity of balancing public safety with personal freedoms, and the critical role of intent in law enforcement decisions. From behavioral analysis to the emotional drivers behind legislation, this episode provides an engaging and thought-provoking discussion that challenges conventional wisdom and offers new insights into the intersection of law, safety, and individual rights.

Humans are great at pattern recognition, but we often fail at the analysis portion because we have to rely primarily on subjective interpretations of events. So, this week, we are talking about the difficulty in determining when a situation has met a threshold for action, and we give you some basic takeaways that you can use to determine when it’s time to intervene.

During the episode we break down various real-life scenarios, including a mayor's criminal actions, a chilling family annihilator case, and an ambush on law enforcement, to illustrate how taking the time to identify seemingly subtle cues allows you to see a much clearer picture of an event. 

We explore the often-overlooked shifts in behavior that can lead to catastrophic outcomes, using natural patterns and high-profile cases like Chad Dorman and Misty Roberts as examples. You'll learn about the role of attribution errors and the necessity of adjusting your baselines to maintain accurate situational awareness, particularly in high-stakes environments like law enforcement. 
 
 Finally, we delve into the importance of critical thinking and adaptive strategies in understanding human behavior. By examining historical precedents and concepts like Darwinian evolution and power dynamics, we discuss how to reassess and correct harmful patterns. This episode also emphasizes the significance of time, communication, and seeking feedback to navigate unpredictable situations effectively.

Historically, in-person communal gatherings met our needs for social validation and even stress relief. But today, those needs are met through rapid online interactions that fail to provide many of the important elements that are necessary for appropriate feedback. In this week’s episode we are using the assassination attempt on Donald Trump to unpack the psychological and sociological imperatives that drive UNINFORMED commentary.

During the episode we combine the science of human behavior and our experience in military, law enforcement, and protection work to dissect the pitfalls of initial reports and the unreliability of eyewitness testimonies. We then transition into the intricate dynamics of human behavior, particularly in the realm of social media to highlight how reduced consequences in online exchanges impact societal norms and individual conduct. We also examine the addictive nature of social media, driven by dopamine effects and immediate validation, and discuss strategies for maintaining a balanced perspective.

Lastly, we touch on the implications of misinformation and the importance of critical thinking. From exploring the need for evidence-based claims to managing negative interactions on social media, we stress the necessity of objectivity and accountability. Join us for this deep dive into the complexities of human behavior, social relevance, and the digital age. This episode encourages listeners to approach information more thoughtfully, deliberately, and responsibly.

Are you in a profession where being up-to-date on your certifications isn’t enough to guarantee success in high-stakes situations? This week, we delve into the often-overlooked difference between currency and true proficiency in training. Inspired by a thought-provoking article from an aviation association, we draw fascinating parallels between the rigorous training standards of aviation and the essential skills needed for everyday life. Greg shares compelling personal anecdotes, including his time with the Civil Air Patrol and his family’s aviation background, illustrating how early exposure to these concepts can shape one's career and interests.

We examine how society frequently confuses being current with being truly proficient, especially in critical fields like law enforcement and aviation. Using vivid analogies such as Disney’s entertainment tactics versus pilots' meticulous safety checklists, we underscore the importance of true proficiency for safety and effectiveness. 

Lastly, we discuss how enhanced training through cognitive engagement can better prepare individuals for the unpredictability of real-world scenarios. By shifting focus from rote repetition to varied and complex training situations, we argue that true proficiency comes from being challenged and pushed outside comfort zones. Join us for an enlightening conversation that challenges conventional approaches to training and highlights the necessity of true proficiency in all areas of life.

Today, we are dissecting the complexities and unintended consequences of zero tolerance policies through real-life examples, starting with the recent tragic shooting at Benito Juarez High School in Chicago. This incident exposes the bureaucratic hurdles and miscommunication that can arise between institutions like Chicago Public Schools and law enforcement, showcasing how rigid policies can delay justice and exacerbate violence instead of preventing it. 

We'll explore the rationale behind zero tolerance policies and scrutinize their efficacy, drawing comparisons to more nuanced approaches within the legal system. Through personal anecdotes and a variety of case studies from education, criminal justice, and corporate ethics, we reveal how the inflexible application of rules often leads to unjust outcomes that fail to consider individual circumstances. By highlighting cases where mandatory policies lead to disproportionate punishments, we make a compelling case for the necessity of human judgment, empathy, and flexibility.

This week we are unpacking the mysterious forces of instinct and intuition and explaining how these twin navigators steer our survival strategies as well as our everyday choices. During the episode we reveal how primal behaviors and nuanced judgments not only coexist but often compete for the driver's seat in high-stakes scenarios.

In order to explain how this complex interaction between instinct and intuition, we share some compelling stories of heroism and survival that highlight the variability of human reactions under extreme stress. From the courage of soldiers to the quick thinking of emergency responders, we illustrate how training and intuition intertwine, impacting decisions that can mean the difference between life and death. Get ready to explore the profound interplay of the instinctual and the intellectual within us all.

Today we are discussing some of the psychological reasons behind why we are all prone to getting scammed! 

For the show we answered three main questions: 
Why do scams work?
What is the psychology behind scams? And,
Who is prone to falling for scams?

During the episode we explain how our brain gets hijacked by a good story which causes us to lose our ability to think critically and rationally.

Today we are talking about the capabilities and limitations of our Memory and how it can be affected by a number of different external and internal influences. 

During the episode we explain how and why our brain creates false memories, how memory-emotion links are formed, the difference between memory and recall, and we explain how to create accurate memories and correct memory distortions so you can use your own experiences for predictive analysis.

Today we are talking about something that affects our perception and our cognitive performance, even before we realize it’s an issue! It’s something we call “O.B.E.” which stands for Overcome By Emotion or Overwhelmed By Events. 

During the episode we define in great detail what we mean by these terms and how they affect our ability to sense make and problem solve but the reason we are talking about OBE is because it comes on much faster than we think and is often the biggest contributing factor to poor decision making. 

When we use the term “overwhelmed” people often assume that we are talking about a situation or event that is highly chaotic or complex but in reality it can come on when we are running a few minutes late for an important event. During the episode we give several examples of what we mean by OBE and we talk about the physiological and psychological processes that contribute to becoming overwhelmed by events or overcome by emotion.

Hello everyone and welcome to this week’s episode of the Human Behavior Podcast. 

For this episode we are defining a term that you’ve likely heard before called Complacency. We’ve all heard the saying that “complacency kills” or had someone tell us not to get complacent but I don’t ever hear anyone defining what complacency actually is! So, for this episode, we are defining complacency using four powerful cognitive processes that affect all humans which are Adaptation, Change Blindness, Channel Capacity, and Sequencing. 

During the episode we define each one of the elements that make up complacency and we talk about why complacency exists, how it affects us, when it affects us, and we give some very simple ways to help counteract the brains natural tendency towards complacency.

Today we are talking about culture and why it matters less than what people think, especially when it comes to reading human behavior. Understanding culture is laboriously slow, heavily nuanced, and in today’s world of mass communication and global connectivity humans have the ability to choose what culture they belong to. 

The human behavior principles that we discuss rely on human behavior characteristics which demonstrate intent. Culture can create idiosyncratic displays, rites, and rituals that have no or nominal bearing on threat prediction and hostile intent determination. So we feel that culture only matters as context, providing increased granularity with which to support one’s evidence-based conclusions. 

For this episode we used the after action review we wrote about a government research project we were involved with a couple years ago where we had to show the efficacy and utility of our intent-based predictive analysis program. If you would like to read more about that program as well as the entire paper we wrote you can find it on the Arcadia Cognerati patreon page.

Hello everyone and welcome to this week’s episode of the Human Behavior Podcast. Today’s episode is sort of the next step after last week’s episode where we discussed how important it is to focus on the background action or the context or “scene” that you are observing because the seemingly mundane environmental signals are actually the foundation for observing human behavior. 

So for this episode we are talking about anomaly detection, putting together the breadcrumbs, “connecting the dots” and why it’s so hard to do that in the moment. As you all know it’s easy to Monday morning quarterback a situation while sitting in a chair watching a youtube video but when you’re in the middle of the situation it’s much more difficult. For this episode Greg shared a couple of stories where he and a few other people didn’t connect the dots in the moment and then we go on to explain WHY this happens and we give some examples of HOW to “prime” yourself so you can get better at “connecting the dots.”

Hello everyone and welcome to this installment of the Human Behavior Podcast. Today we are talking about the most important element of understanding, or “reading,” human behavior, which is the background action, the context, the setting of the scene that provides the relevance for what you see.

Think about this for a second…Every time you drive, bike, or walk – you pass by signs, signals, plaques, icons, or graffiti without every fully realizing the significance of those observations or perceptions. These nuanced observations create the fidelity and the granularity that comprises the very fabric of our memories. It’s easy to take the B-roll, the background action, the set dressing as meaningless filler when in reality, those perceptions are the essential elements in comparing baselines to determine threats or danger.

For this episode I had Greg share a personal story where his recognition of a seemingly insignificant observation gave him the gift of time and distance which probably saved his life. This story came from a larger Lessons Learned article that Greg wrote a while back and you can find that article on our Patreon site.

This week we are talking about intuition and what it really means to “trust your gut.” Just like our previous episodes we are going to start out by reading an article that Greg wrote where he highlights several examples of people who DIDN’T “trust their gut” and it lead to some pretty catastrophic situations. 

For this episode we are talking about intuition from two perspectives. The first being the “gut feeling” that you’ve likely experienced when something feels “off.” The other aspect of intuition that we are talking about is how it pertains to cognitive training and learning to become better at decision-making. 

During the episode we talk about some of the science behind intuition and why it is an important “hard-wired” element that has kept the human race alive for a very long time. We also dive into the essential role that emotion and cognition play when it comes to “training for the real event” and we bring up some of the misconceptions we’ve seen when it comes to including those elements into scenario-based training. 

Some of the topics we discuss include the difference between muscle memory and cognitive training, information versus intelligence, creating explanatory storylines, and how to enhance your own intuition.

Hello everyone and thanks for tuning in this week and I apologize for not getting the episode out on time but since we record the podcast when we are on the road there can be a delay in when I get access to the recording files which can cause a slight delay uploading the episode. So although todays episode is a day late it is by no means a dollar short!

This week we are talking about two major topics that often intersect with one another in real life settings. Those two topics we are covering today are Randomness and Rage. Just like our last episode we used an article that Greg wrote a while back as the basis for this discussion. So if you’re a Patreon subscriber you can read the entire article and then skip ahead to about the 19 minute mark in the episode where we start the discussion or you can listen to the entire episode from the beginning to hear Greg read the article. 

During the episode we define how rage works in humans, we talk about why it is such a powerful emotion and we explain the difference between rage and anger. We also talk in great detail about randomness and how it is interpreted by humans and how seemingly random environmental “messages” can significantly influence human behavior. 

Throughout the discussion we refer back to the stories from the article that Greg wrote and we end with a few powerful examples of how Rage and Randomness can intersect with one and create a deadly situation.

I want to give a special thanks to Brian at the Music Lab at the Jefferson Building in Roanoke, VA where this episode was recorded as well as his young son who helped setup the studio.

Hello everyone and thanks for tuning back in, this week we are super excited to bring you the very first episode of the human behavior podcast! For those of you have been listening to the Left Of Greg podcast we think you’re going to really enjoy the new format as well as the additional content on Patreon.

At Arcadia Cognerati we train people how to conduct predictive analysis and “read” a situation, event, or person more accurately because if you can do that, you can make more informed decisions and you won’t be forced to react or respond to everything that happens. You can actually control the operational tempo and use time and distance to your advantage. So, for this very first episode I wanted to start with a topic that Greg and I talk a lot about in our in-person training courses and we decided to use an article that Greg wrote a few years ago as a basis for the episode. If you’re a Patreon subscriber, you can read the article titled Sense Making vs Scents Making which is a play on words about whether you are accurately making sense of your environment or if you’re making a stink of the situation. 

We often see examples on the news of situations that have gone catastrophically wrong, and the pundits and armchair quarterbacks come out with all kinds of opinions on WHAT the person did wrong, but they fail to accurately explain WHY they made the wrong decision, which I simply define as a failure in sense making, an error in comprehension. 

So, in this episode we are going to explain why all humans are prone to errors in sense making and why we keep getting things wrong, even when we think we aren’t. During the episode we unpack some complex issues about errors in judgement and where they come from, we talk about heuristic processing, psychological imperatives that are biased in favor of our survival, and how the line between fantasy and reality can easily get blurred. 

I want to give a special thanks to the folks we met at APX Studios in Ferndale, Michigan where this episode was recorded. Not only were they extremely professional and helpful but we had an amazing conversation with them after we recorded the show.

Today we are talking about how and why humans naturally fear change, even when it will ultimately benefit us. We explain how even though change is a fundamental part of our lives, our intuition can be counterproductive when it comes to things like adaptation and evolution because we will always seek out familiarity.

We are having this discussion because we have some major changes coming up and we wanted to explain to all of you what our reasons were for making the changes and what you can expect from us going forward. We are excited to make this announcement today and we hope that you will be pleased with what we have in store for future episodes.

Today we are giving a detailed explanation of what we mean when we say that “all humans are constantly on transmit.” You may have heard us make that reference on previous episodes so we decided to explain the psychological and sociological imperatives that contribute to the innate human need to be seen and heard.

In order to explain WHY all humans are on transmit we go all the way back to Plato’s Allegory of the Cave and then we give some recent examples of how hard it is for people to NOT be on transmit. We also talk about how to recognize what someone is transmitting so you can tune into the right frequency and avoid errors in sense making.

Today we are expanding on some of the same themes we discussed in our last episode but rather than talking about music, we are talking about movies and TV shows and how you can use your favorite shows to better understand human behavior in general.

During the episode we give a number of examples of how movies and tv shows have to follow a certain algorithm in order for us to suspend disbelief and we point out how certain storylines will continue to repeat over and over just like they do in real life. We also give some tips on how you can get better at conducting predictive analysis in real life by using some of your favorite films as examples.

Today we are talking about some of the different type of prank videos that you often see on social media including a recent one in Virginia where a youtuber was shot by someone who he was trying to prank. Although these types of prank shows are very popular and have been around for a long time, things don’t always go as planned.

During the show we explain the different autonomic reactions that can occur during these situations, and we get into the nuances of each example and how they elicit different reactions from the subject involved in the prank. We also get into several related topics like false and forced socialization, how the lack of awareness plays into these shows, and the role of our amygdalae plays in processing ALL of the information we consume.

On today’s episode we are explaining how we distinguish between something that is “normal” versus something that is “novel” when it comes to making observations about human behavior. We often see people attribute more value or significance to observations that really don’t matter which can lead to serious errors in sense making. This often occurs because they are using their own internal baseline to establish the context of their observations, rather than using the environment and the external baseline as the context for their observations.

During the episode we give several examples of what we mean by normalcy and novelty and we also talk about how relevant information can often be found in the seams and gaps of your environment.

Today we are discussing the importance of naming conventions, taxonomy, the lexicon you use, and the priming effect that words can have on others. Since language is extremely adaptive and the meanings behind words can change over time, unintended consequences will arise from the words you use. The name you give to something will illicit responses and influence how a person processes what you are saying which means the outcome of your message may not match its original intent.

In today’s episode we give some examples of how things have gone wrong in the past like the Chevy Nova and a horse named “Twister,” and we talk about how focusing on INTENT and using concise language can help mitigate potential errors in sense making from the recipient of the message.

Today we are talking about one of the human behavior domains that we teach in our training courses called Heuristics. Now there are a number of different types of heuristics as well as various mental models that people like to use or discuss so we wanted to talk about how we use heuristics in the most functional manner possible.

During the discussion we define some of the terms we use in different episodes including what we mean by “file folders” and we give several different examples of how to effectively use heuristics in order to simplify decision making. Although this is a topic that you could create an entire podcast series about, we tried to keep it as laser focused as possible so you could understand HOW we use this human behavior domain.

Today we are talking about a poker game that spun wildly out of control and turned into a robbery and shooting, and that was just the start of this case!

The reason we are discussing this case is because during the investigation the defendants iPhone was searched and during that search the investigator found evidence of another crime that he was subsequently charged with. The defendants lawyer tried to argue that the search warrant that was used was too broad and therefore the evidence should not be allowed, and the case went all the way up to the U.S. Court of Appeals.

This case brought up a number of different 4th amendment issues and how the law is being interpreted given the new technologies that exist today and so we thought it was an interesting case to bring up with our audience. You can read more about the specific case by following the link in the episode details.

Today we are talking to Ivan Ivanovich, a global leader in the Executive Protection industry who has started, and ran, several highly successful multinational security companies. He has an impressive background and extensive experience operating in some of the most complex security environments in the world. 

We first met Ivan two years ago when we spoke at the Executive Protection Summit in Mexico City and we have been huge supporters of him ever since. He recently came out with a book about executive protection so we wanted to have him on the show to talk about his experiences.

During the conversation Ivan shares with us some powerful stories from his work in Mexico and he highlights some of the problems within the executive protection industry. He also gives us his take on the future of the industry and what he thinks that practitioners should focus on.

During the episode we talk about the limitations and flaws of personality testing, how they oversimplify complex human behavior, and how they lack reliability.

Today we are responding to some of the questions we received regarding our statement that “most people want their say, not their way.” 

During the episode we explain what we mean by this statement, why it is significant, and we give a number of examples of how to identify the difference between these types of people. 

We also talk about the difference between someone who is “acting up” versus “acting out” and why it is an important distinction.

Today we have a special guest on the show by the name of Charlie Harr. Charlie is the Operations Coordinator for the annual Marine Corps Marathon that is coming up on October 29th in Arlington, Virginia and he is tasked with coordinating security for the event as well as implementing the Anti-Terrorism Force Protection measures.

Charlie is a long-time listener of the show and has attended our in-person training in the past and since Greg and I are helping out with some of the training for the event we asked Charlie if he would come on the show so we could share his questions with our audience. 

If you are involved in any type of large event security or if you ever attend large events yourself, there are some great takeaways in the episode that you can use.

Today we are going a little deeper into one of our first principles that we talked about on a previous podcast. Some of you reached out with some questions regarding what we meant by “demonstrations of intent are more important than motive” so we decided to explain what we mean by demonstrations of intent. 

During the episode we talk about how all humans will consciously or unconsciously telegraph their actions and if you can learn to identify those indicators sooner you can predict what they are likely going to do before they do it. So in essence, recognizing demonstrations of intent will give you the time and distance you need to choose a better intervention strategy.

Today we are defining something that a lot of people talk about called “Situational Awareness.” We start off by giving some historical context to the term and we explain the standard definition of what situational awareness is, as well as what it isn’t.  

During the episode we talk about how the main elements of situational awareness (which is perception, recognition, and understanding) is missing a key component that will help you conduct predictive analysis. That component is ANTICIPATION. 

What we bring up during the episode is the idea that by honing your skills in anticipation and perception you are far less likely to be surprised by an unplanned event.

Today we are talking about the basic principles that create the foundation for HOW we articulate human behavior. Normally this is something we reserve for our in-person training courses and they are typically discussed in a very deliberate manner but we thought it would be good to share this with all of you.

The 4 main principle beliefs that we talk about today are:  

-People are the same all over the world
-People “teach” you how to treat them
-Most people want their say not their way
-Demonstrations of intent are more important than motive

Although we only hit the wave tops on each of these principles, you will still be able to understand them well enough to go and use them after listening to this episode!

Today we are talking about some recent tragedies that all involve the same type of crime where a person murdered their own family members and then killed themselves. We are discussing these cases in order to shed some light on how we can get better at identifying pre-event indicators of violence in all humans. 

One of the ways we can do this is by shifting our perspective and trying to see a problem or situation from the perspective of the person who is experiencing that problem or situation, not from the perspective of an outside observer. In today’s episode we talk about how to do that in some of the most extreme circumstances imaginable.

Today we are talking about Access and Boundaries which are two important concepts that are inextricably linked to one another. All criminals, terrorists, insurgents, or even people just trying to sell you something need to have access to you whether they intend to victimize you or get you to buy something. 

So if we look at different types of crimes through the lens of ACCESS, it makes it easier to understand HOW people commit illegal acts versus looking at all of the potential reasons WHY they would commit an illegal act. 

If we add on top of that a better understanding of BOUNDARIES you will be able to identify pre-event indications of danger or opportunity no matter what situation you find yourself in.

We recently delivered a webinar where we talked about cognitive training and how to build a “cognitive gym” and we decided to share the information that we talked about in that webinar on today’s podcast. 

During the episode we go over three basic rules of cognition that affect everyone, even highly trained people, and we answered some of the questions that our webinar viewers brought up during the presentation. 

If you would like to watch the webinar that we discuss you can find the link in the episode details and you can also sign up for another free webinar that is being hosted by the Association of Threat Assessment Professionals where we are talking about how a better understanding of human behavior and cognitive performance can complement any security plan or assessment.

Today we are talking about a term called “duty to intervene.” Although this concept is typically discussed in a law enforcement setting it applies at a much larger scale than most people realize and applies in every social setting that you are in.

Rather than doing the typical “Monday Morning Quarterback” commentary that you see after a story or video hits the news, we chose to focus on the sociological and psychological reasons why humans are prone to “color outside the lines.” We also give some examples of how you can prevent inappropriate behavior by intervening sooner and applying legal precedent to the situation rather than a subjective interpretation of your organizations policies.

Today we are talking about a recent supreme court case involving a man who was convicted of stalking and making true threats against a woman. Our discussion for today revolves around the question “what defines a true threat?”

For this discussion we bring up a number of legal and behavior related issues including perception, Mens Rea, the subjectiveness of our experiences, intent, mental health, the 1st amendment and most importantly… is something considered a threat based on the intent of the persons statement or is it based on the effect the statement has on a reasonable person?

Today we are talking about manifestos, social leakage, injustice collectors, and how you can determine someone’s intent before, during, and after they commit acts of violence. 

During the episode we give several examples of people who went on a killing spree for very different reasons to illustrate how the current analysis of these events don’t always provide a clear understanding of what really happened.

Rather than talking about the ideological reasons behind someone’s motive for killing people, which can be arbitrary and not even understood by the person carrying out the attack, we talk about how to gain some perspective into that persons mindset, so that you can make accurate predictions on what they will likely do next.

Today we are talking about diminishing returns in the context of how we respond to novel situations in our environment. For the discussion we used a few recent law enforcement examples to highlight the fact that simply sending more people or spending more money not only doesn’t solve the problem but can actually make the situation worse.

During the episode we bring up a few scientific principles from the software development and computer industry to explain how there are basic mathematical and computational principles that we can use to create more effective and more efficient procedures. We also talk a little bit about how the bystander effect really works and how it can be a really bad or really good thing depending on the actions of specific individuals at the scene.

This week we are joined by a very special guest by the name of Todd Fox. Todd has an impressive career in the executive protection industry and has an extensive military, law enforcement, and martial arts background.  

We brought Todd on the show to share some of his experiences and to get a sneak peek behind the curtain of an international executive protection agent. During the episode, Todd was able to share a lot of the details about what it takes to conduct a successful security operation that you can actually use in your everyday life. He also talks about the difference between what you see on social media versus what protective operations are actually like!

Please check out the episode details where you can find links to Todd’s latest book as well as the link to another podcast that Todd was on that dove deep into his martial arts background.

This week we are talking about the overuse of “culture” as a lens with which to view a person, place, group, or event. As we often say in our training courses, “culture is merely context” and although it may help to understand certain cultural differences, we don’t feel that it’s as important as people make it out to be.

During the episode we define what we mean by culture, and we discuss the different ways people choose to be a part of or adopt cultural norms and beliefs. We also talk about the phrase “perception is reality” and how humans naturally fear things they don’t understand which can cause them to make errors in judgment that cost people their lives.

Today we are joined by our friend and former guest on the show, Steve Drum. We asked Steve to come back on the show to talk about his new book called “Life On The X: A Navy SEAL’s Guide to Meeting Any Challenge with Courage, Confidence, and Readiness.”

During the episode Steve shares a few stories from his time in the SEAL Teams and being “on the x” but what he is really talking about is how all of us experience “life on the x” to some degree. We really enjoyed reading Steve’s book because there are so many takeaways from each chapter that you can directly apply to your own life. We highly suggest ordering yourself a copy, you can find the link in the episode details.

Today we are very excited to bring on the show a brilliant cognitive psychologist by the name of Dr. Lia DiBello. 

Dr. DiBello is the Chief Science Officer for ACSI Labs, she is a leading expert in the world of accelerated learning and a pioneer in the field of what she calls “strategic rehearsal.”  

If you are involved in training and education then you are going to love this episode because Lia does an amazing job of defining what it means to be a subject matter expert, and also helps to dispel some of the myths that we have been warning many of our listeners about for quite some time.

During the episode we talk about accelerated learning, what you can and cannot accomplish with VR technology and how language is what defines our perception of time.

Today we are tying together some of the cases we discussed in the last two episodes by explaining how to plan, prepare, and avoid the catastrophic failures in response that we often see during major events. 

During the episode we use a parking lot as both a literal and metaphorical low-calorie, high-fidelity example of “training for the real event”. We explain how many of the problems that cause things to go wrong are completely avoidable with simple, cost effective training options that you can do in your own backyard.

Today’s episode is the second episode in a three-part series where we are explaining how historical events and stories sometimes get “hijacked by history” which results in people changing the significance of the past in order to suit the needs of the present. 

In this episode we are talking about how the process in which our memory works will cause us to string together different events in order to fit a pattern that may not actually be there. We are centering the discussion around the many significant dates in recent U.S. history that occur in the month of April and we attempt to answer the question; Is April really the cruelest month?

This episode is the first of a three-part series where we are explaining how historical events and stories sometimes get “hijacked by history,” which results in people changing the significance of the past in order to suit the needs of the present. 

In this first episode we dive into the history behind the phrase “Beware the Ides of March,” and we talk about how stories from the past affect our perception and our behavior in the present. 

We start by discussing the psychological and sociological effects of the changing seasons and we explain how a simple environmental factor can have greater historical significance than many of the other factors people often discuss.

On today’s episode we are talking about HOW and WHY certain geographic anchor points (like your home) will have a higher likelihood of potentially violent encounters taking place at them. We explain what we mean by a person’s “home” from the psychological and sociological standpoint and why it can be such an emotionally charged location. We also give some considerations to think about if you have a job where you often go to other peoples homes.

Today we decided to answer a question that we know a lot of you have been thinking about. That question is: what does Bob Seger, Ethylene Glycol, Plato’s Allegory of the Cave, and the Columbine High School shooting have to do with one another? 

Ok, so maybe you’ve never asked that question, but the short answer is either misinformation or disinformation! 

On today’s episode we are talking about how humans process information, communicate that information, and the historical precedent that proves how bad we are at both of those things. Although the terms misinformation and disinformation have recently grown in popularity, they are both concepts that have been around for as long as humans have. During the episode we give some examples of how the real story behind major events can get lost over time and why humans will change the meaning of something to fit their needs.

Today is our follow up conversation with Arcadia Cognerati Advisory Board member and previous guest Clark Dever. Clark is an entrepreneur with over 15 years of experience in emerging technology and he is an expert at building products, teams, and successful businesses. 

We brought Clark back on the show to discuss how he optimizes the performance of people, and therefore companies, through a better understanding of human performance and human behavior. During the discussion we get into a number of topics including the breakdown of the historical “social contract” that companies used to have with employees, the idea of constantly training your replacement, and how to foster an environment that allows people to take risks.  

For those of you who didn’t listen to Part 1 of this conversation, you don’t need to go back and listen to part 1 first, but I highly recommend going back listening to that episode as well. Clark gives out some very practical and very eloquent words of wisdom that you can start using right away.

Today we are talking about the over reliance of training on Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures, or “TTP’s.” Since the primary focus of TTP’s is HOW to do something, what is often not addressed is WHY you are doing it. This type of thinking and training can lead to a number of issues that may outweigh the initial problem you were trying to solve with new TTP’s.

We start the show by discussing the seemingly logical process of how people analyze different scenarios and we point out some of the reasons why that analysis typically fails. Later in the show we talk about different “thinking points” and how you can use them to stay AHEAD of the problem, rather than just reacting to whatever new problem that arises.

On today’s episode we are answering a couple of questions that one of our listeners sent us regarding interviews and interrogations. In the specific case we talk about, the suspect called 911 after committing a violent crime, he was then interviewed by investigators but was subsequently released because at the time they felt they did not have enough evidence to detain the individual.

During the episode we talk about why the perpetrator of a crime would call 911, how to set yourself up for success PRIOR to interviewing someone, and we also explain how some well-intentioned interview techniques can be misused in the wrong context.

On today’s episode we are talking about the psychological and sociological attraction that humans have for high profile crimes and we discuss why we think the analysis of those cases don’t really help us to understand them.   

Some of the examples we use to highlight our explanation include the recent University of Idaho murders as well as two popular Netflix documentaries called The Hatchet Wielding Hitchhiker and Madoff: The Monster of Wall Street. 

During the episode we also discuss the overuse of trait theory and why it’s not a good indicator of future behavior as well as the “boogeyman theory” and how cognition biases affect our interpretation of events.

On today’s episode we are having a discussion centered around three questions that have been asked by some of our listeners. Those questions are:

What drives human behavior and decision-making?

How do our past experiences shape our current behavior? And

How do social influences shape our behavior?

Although you can go into a lot more detail on each of these questions, we chose to discuss all three on one episode because they are all deeply related to one another in some manner. We appreciate those of you who reached out with these questions and we encourage all of you to reach out to us with any other questions you may have.

For this episode we bring up two major examples; one involves comedian Jeff Ross, a death row inmate, and the Supreme Court and the other example is from the trial of NFL football player Aaron Hernandez. 

During the show we discuss some of the misunderstandings we’ve seen regarding the 1st and 5th amendment and how freedom of speech does not mean freedom from the consequences of your statements.

During the episode we describe how humans use assimilation to understand their environment and how it compares to various machine learning models that are being used to develop artificial intelligence. We compare them by using an example of a mass shooter who defended himself in court to the recent AI model called ChatGPT that specializes in large language models.

Today we are talking about how our perception of the world and the perception of our own reality is directly tied to our brains primitive survival systems. Because of the way we are “wired,” we often jump to unreasonable conclusions about the observations we make. 

During the episode we give a number of examples of how our brain is fooled by things that are “cognitively close enough” which directly affects how we interpret information, especially when it comes to visual analysis and information processing. We also talk about how to prevent a visual illusion from creating cognitive dissonance.

During the episode we give some street definitions to the limitations in cognitive performance that affect our attention including things like adaptation, change blindness, channel capacity, and sequencing. We also give some examples of how you can help counter the effects of these natural processes.

 During the episode we get into a number of areas including the difference between training and education and our over reliance on online platforms. We also give a number of examples on how to use these systems in an effective manner as well as plenty of examples of how NOT to use online education.

On todays episode we are taking some of the issues that we’ve discussed in the past regarding the sociological implications of major social events and bringing them down to the street level to show how a poor decision made by someone you’ve never met before can have a major impact on your life. 

For this discussion we brought on Police Officer, CEO, and host of the 3 cops talk podcast, Chris Sherwin. After serving for 20 years on a police department in a major metropolitan area, Chris packed up his family and moved across the country to continue doing what he loves, serving his community as a law enforcement officer.

During the episode, Chris shares some amazing street-level insight from his decades of experience and he talks about how some of the major social issues of the last few years has affected his profession and his personal life. If you want to know more about Chris, you can check the links in the episode details and please check out his podcast called 3 cops talk.

Today we are talking to Tori, Emmily, and Chelsea from an amazing company called Braid Babes. We brought them on the show because they have an in-home service business where they send women to your house to braid your hair and they wanted to know what they could do to help keep their employees safe. So for this episode we had the Braid Babes be the hosts and ask us a number of questions based on the concerns that they have so that Greg and I could give them some free advice on how to improve their security posture while still maintaining great customer service.
