Oz Pearlman is probably the world’s greatest mentalist. He doesn’t claim to read minds — he reads people. Recently featured on 60 Minutes, topping bestseller lists, and even guessing Joe Rogan’s ATM PIN on his podcast, Oz brings his uncanny intuition to Something You Should Know. In our conversation, he even guesses something from my childhood he couldn’t possibly know. He also reveals what he’s learned about success, handling rejection, and making powerful impressions. His book is Read Your Mind: Proven Habits for Success from the World’s Greatest Mentalist. (https://amzn.to/47MP9S7)
