Negotiation Secrets From The FBI with Chris Voss | EP 398
Next Level Podcast with Jeremy Miner
Intro
Jeremy introduces Chris Voss and previews negotiation themes covered in the episode.
High-level persuasion isn't about getting to "yes" it's about making people feel safe enough to say "no." Chris Voss, former FBI lead international kidnapping negotiator and bestselling author of Never Split The Difference, explains why "no" creates control, why tone shapes neurochemistry, and why objections are really fear, not logic. In this episode of The Next Level Podcast with Jeremy Miner, Chris breaks down tactical empathy, tonality, framing, and the exact neuroscience behind trust, influence, and decision-making. You'll learn how top negotiators de-escalate resistance, shorten deal cycles, and move people without pushing. If you want to master communication, prevent objections before they appear, and negotiate like the top 1% of persuaders, this episode gives you the playbook.
