E62 When words don't match behaviour, with Lori Warren

In this episode, Laurie sits down with her good friend Lori Warren, a former FBI agent, polygrapher, and crisis negotiator, for an honest conversation about human behaviour, deception, manipulation, and trust.

It's a conversation about the subtle signals we often sense but talk ourselves out of… in business, relationships, leadership, and everyday life.

Drawing from decades of experience sitting across from people under pressure, Lori shares what she noticed again and again, not in a technical way, but in a deeply human one.

Together, we explore how deception and manipulation actually show up in everyday conversations, why confidence can be misleading, and how learning to trust what you notice can change the way you make decisions.

In this episode, we talk about: Why most people don't know what to look for when someone isn't being fully honest
