Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 44:16 — 60.8MB)

By Robert Riggs

Real human connection is becoming harder to recognize in a world increasingly shaped by AI-generated content.

Former FBI counterintelligence agent Robin Dreeke returns to the podcast to explore one of the most urgent questions of our time: who or what should we trust?

From the rise of AI personalities and artificial empathy to the subtle ways criminals manipulate human behavior, Dreeke explains how the principles he used in the world of spies apply to everyday life.

We also discuss the updated edition of his bestselling book, It’s Not All About Me: The Top Ten Techniques for Building Quick Rapport with Anyone.

Dreeke shares practical insights on reading people, spotting manipulation, building authentic relationships, and protecting yourself in a culture where deception is increasingly sophisticated.

Whether you are fascinated by criminal behavior, curious about the future of AI, or simply trying to better understand the people around you, this conversation offers deeply personal and timely insights.
