Wouldn't you love to always negotiate great deals. Secure that awesome parcel of land at a great price and on great terms. Get a buyer to pay top dollar for one of your properties.

Well in my discussion with former FBI hostage negotiator, Chris Voss, you can learn how to do all those things and more.

Chris has written a book called Never Split the Difference, a fantastic resource that I highly recommend you buy and read. It is filled with practical ways to negotiate better deals and is coupled with incredible hostage stories and real life examples of how to apply the ideas in the book.

And they really do work, as I have been road testing them over the past few weeks, which will be covered in the conversation Chris and I have.
