    Stalling for Time: My Life as an FBI Hostage Negotiator - Gary Noesner

    Send a text In this episode, I had interesting discussion with Gary Noesner, who spent thirty years as an investigator, instructor, and negotiator. For twenty-three of those years, he was an FBI hostage negotiator, eventually becoming the Chief of the FBI's Crisis Negotiation Unit, a position he was the first to hold. During his tenure, Gary was deeply involved in a wide array of crises—everything from prison riots to airplane hijackings, and over 120 kidnapping cases abroad involving American citizens. After retiring from the FBI, Gary took on the role of Senior Vice President at Control Risks, where he helped clients navigate kidnap incidents overseas. He now operates as an independent consultant and speaker, sharing his insights at numerous law enforcement and corporate events globally. Gary's expertise has made him a familiar face and voice in media. He's featured in documentaries on channels like the History Channel, CNN, and BBC, and has been interviewed by major publications including Time, the New York Times, and more. His experiences formed the basis of his book, "Stalling for Time: My Life as an FBI Hostage Negotiator," which inspired a mini-series on Paramount Network and Netflix, where he's portrayed by actor Michael Shannon. Recently, Gary has been involved with Jumpstart Mastery, an organization focused on enhancing human capacity for self-control and peaceful conflict resolution, especially relevant for today's professionals dealing with Anger, Aggression, and Violence (AAV). With such incidents on the rise worldwide, his insights are more crucial than ever. https://www.garynoesner.com/

    Leaders Ask the WRONG Questions, Here’s the Fix.

    Send a text Trust is the driver of real growth. When clients, partners, suppliers, and your team truly trust you, you earn repeat business, quality referrals, premium pricing, and early access to opportunities—especially in creative fields like fine art printing and photography. Without it, deals stall, reputations slip, and momentum fades. In this episode, I had a discussion with Andrew Collett, founder and CEO of Total Image Works Limited, a leader in museum-quality Giclée, archival, and large-format fine art printing. A pioneer who built Print Partner in 2009 and later merged with Toronto Image Works (originally founded by Edward Burtynsky), Andrew brings over 40 years of combined print expertise, two decades as a landscape photographer, and hard-won lessons from a landmark federal copyright case to explore vision, craftsmanship, and the role of AI in art. Here's what I learned from our discussion: - Master both art (landscape photography) and business (founded Print Partner, merged with Toronto - Image Works to form Total Image Works) for success in creative fields. - Prioritize craftsmanship and trusted partnerships—40+ years of legacy builds lasting client trust. - Relationships drive loyalty, referrals, and high-value work in fine art printing/photography. - Evolve through strategic mergers while preserving quality; adapt to digital with discipline. https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrew-collett-48858532/ https://totalimageworks.com/
