In this episode of the Creative Dealmaker Podcast, I sit down with my personal hero, Chris Voss, the former head hostage negotiator for the FBI and founder of the Black Swan Group.

Chris shares how he transitioned from saving lives to saving business deals—and trust me, his strategies are an absolute game-changer. If you’re struggling with closing deals or getting people to say "yes," you’ll want to dive into this episode. His concept of tactical empathy is hands-down the most powerful negotiation tool I've ever used in my career.
