S12E19: Hacking Human Connection w/ Vanessa Van Edwards

We're about to crack the code as we chat with Vanessa Van Edwards about the science of people and how to optimize your behavior, interactions, and interpersonal intelligence as it pertains to dating. We discuss why PQ is just as essential as EQ & IQ, how to decode body language and facial expressions, and ways to connect instantly with people within the first 5 minutes of meeting.
