Episode notes
Elicit Information Without Questions
- When you need sensitive information, ask fewer direct questions and use elicitation statements instead.
- Trigger conversational needs (like correcting the record) with provocative statements to get volunteered information.
From Rejection To Behavioral Obsession
- Chase became obsessed with reading people after rejection at age 19 and typed "how to tell when girls like you" into Google.
- That curiosity led him from social anxiety to studying interrogation and behavioral profiling in the military.
Build Empathy By Reading The Mask
- Grow empathy by spotting surface behaviors and asking "why" to find underlying reasons like fear or scripts from childhood.
- Reframe loud posturing as fear-driven behavior to reduce judgment and increase understanding.
