This week on Spin It, Stephynie had the privilege of speaking with former FBI hostage negotiator Chris Voss.

Prior to becoming the FBI lead international kidnapping negotiator, Chris served as the lead Crisis Negotiator for the New York City Division of the FBI and was a member of the New York City Joint Terrorist Task Force for 14 years. 

On this weeks episode, we’ll take an intimate look into the art of negotiation and its importance in the world of Entrepreneurship and Business. 

We’ll explore his world renowned negotiation tactics and strategies learning how even those who have never negotiated before can start applying them in their lives.

You’ll learn how Chris found a way to masterfully turn obstacles into opportunities for decades and how you too can do the same.
