Today we welcome Calvin Chrustie, a retired member of the RCMP who worked in conflict negotiation with the UN and 

Canadian armed forces during the Bosnian war.

After the conflict, Calvin used his skills also to conduct international hostage negotiation

and then got into counter-criminal and state-sponsored threat networks.

In this episode, Calvin talks about his experience in conflict and hostage negotiation 

and shares tips and tricks on negotiations.
