    Ep.173 I Deciding to Read the Room: What an FBI Agent Sees That You Don’t with Joe Navarro

    Think body language is just about crossed arms and forced smiles? Think again. After years spent catching spies and decoding body language, Joe Navarro reveals how the smallest cues can uncover the biggest truths. From subtle tells that exposed Soviet operatives to pinpointing the hidden leader in any room, Joe offers a masterclass in seeing what others miss. If you’ve ever underestimated the power of nonverbal cues—or the cost of ignoring them—this episode will make you rethink everything you see, from business meetings to casual conversations.   KEY TOPICS How subtle cues can reveal what people won’t say out loud. How the physical setup of a space, like a waiting room, can create or diminish psychological comfort. Why humans instinctively cover their eyes when they’re stressed. How setting the pace—consciously or unconsciously—defines who leads a room.   CHAPTERS 00:00 Intro: Defeating Bad Decision-Making in Life and Business 00:49 First Impressions 03:10 Recruited by the FBI at 22 07:48 Catching Spies with Cultural Cues 10:00 FBI Reality vs. TV Dramas 12:18 How Body Language Reveals the Truth 17:05 The Bouquet That Exposed a Spy 21:52 Travel’s Secret to Sharpening Leadership 26:29 Human Instincts That Signal Stress 31:05 Bill Gates’ Handshake Fail 35:51 Why AI Can’t Read Human Behavior 40:35 The Truth About Lie Detectors 47:38 Creating Comfort to Influence Decisions 52:10 Winning Negotiations with Ease 56:57 Joe Navarro’s Decision-Making Tip for Business Owners  58:03 Key Takeaways  59:50 Message from the Producer   CONNECT WITH US ⁠www.decidedlypodcast.com⁠ Watch this episode on YouTube Subscribe on ⁠YouTube Join us on ⁠Instagram⁠: @decidedlypodcast Join us on ⁠Facebook⁠ Shawn’s ⁠Instagram⁠: @shawn_d_smith Sanger’s ⁠Instagram⁠: @sangersmith     Thank you to Shelby Peterson of Transcend Media for editing and post-production of the Decidedly podcast.   SANGER’S BOOK: ⁠A Life Rich with Significance: Transforming Your Wealth to Meaningful Impact⁠   SHAWN’S BOOK: ⁠Plateau Jumping: What to Change When Change Is What You Want⁠   MAKING A FINANCIAL DECISION?

If you’re tired of empty promises and quick fixes, this conversation is a fresh take on starting the year with real purpose.   KEY TOPICS Why traditional New Year’s resolutions are a setup for failure.

Justin shares his journey from a bullied child to UFC fighter, and eventually to his work with the Pygmy people of Africa through Fight for the Forgotten. We talk about the challenges he's faced—both in and out of the ring—and the decisions that led him to dedicate his life to defending the weak, loving the unloved, and empowering the voiceless around the world.   KEY TOPICS How childhood bullying pushed Justin Wren to become a professional UFC fighter. The devastating toll addiction once took on Justin’s life. A vivid vision of the rainforest that gave Justin a new sense of purpose in life.  How Fight for the Forgotten helps Pygmy communities protect their land, access clean water, and foster a sustainable livelihood.   CHAPTERS 00:00 Intro: Defeating Bad Decision-Making in Life and Business  00:50 The 3 Fighters Who Earned Sanger’s Fandom 03:06 From Bully to Fighter: Justin Wren 04:28 The Vision Behind Fight for the Forgotten 06:50 Building Waves of Change 09:17 Martial Arts as a Shield Against Bullying 13:58 The Painful Path to Finding Purpose 16:23 Battling Addiction in the Cage and Beyond 18:51 Discovering Purpose Through Service 23:33 Waking Up After the Overdose 28:04 The Bonus Rounds of Life 35:13 Why Purpose Replaces Addiction 40:02 The Vision That Led to Africa 44:57 Meeting the Pygmies 51:49 Listening to Create Lasting Impact 56:33 The Risks and Rewards of Serving in Congo 01:03:41 Building Holistic Communities 1:08:23 Justin Wren’s Decision-Making Tip for Business Owners  01:11:05 Key Takeaways  01:12:59 Message from the Producer   CONNECT WITH US ⁠www.decidedlypodcast.com⁠ Watch this episode on YouTube Subscribe on ⁠YouTube Join us on ⁠Instagram⁠ Join us on ⁠Facebook⁠ Shawn’s ⁠Instagram⁠ Sanger’s ⁠Instagram⁠   Thank you to Shelby Peterson of Transcend Media for editing and post-production of the Decidedly podcast.   SANGER’S BOOK: ⁠A Life Rich with Significance: Transforming Your Wealth to Meaningful Impact⁠   SHAWN’S BOOK: ⁠Plateau Jumping: What to Change When Change Is What You Want⁠   MAKING A FINANCIAL DECISION?

Despite his success, he questioned the significance of his athletic accomplishments. Each victory brought the thought, “Is this it?” Battling injuries, he slid into painkiller addiction, battled depression, and attempted suicide. He was a champion on the outside but broken within. It wasn’t until a series of circumstances led him to live among the Pygmy people—some of the most marginalized on earth—that he found true purpose: helping others. “My career was to fight against people, but my calling was to fight for people." Now, he helps others generate impact through their work and community. ‘The Big Pygmy’ returned to the ring with purpose, founding Fight for the Forgotten (FFTF). FFTF has provided >52,000 indigenous people with access to clean drinking water, replanted thousands of trees, acquired >3,000 acres of land in the name of the tribe and helped 1,800 people out of slavery and into freedom. Current projects include housing, education, healthcare and sustainable livelihoods through community empowerment.

    What if all those medical products we trust come with more risk than we think? And how much of that risk is buried in the fine print most of us never read? In this episode, we’re talking to Alexandra from @justtheinserts, who’s made it her mission to help people decode medical inserts, so we actually know what we’re putting in our bodies.

Buckle up—this conversation will have you questioning everything you thought you knew about medicine.
