1 hour 5 minutes

What if the real mind control isn’t in the movies… it’s in the conversation you’re having right now?

In this episode of Can You Handle the Truth, host Steve Frazier sits down with psychologist of influence Dr. William D. Horton to pull back the curtain on behavior, persuasion, and the myths people believe about “reading” others.

You’ll learn:

🧠 How to spot “TV-trick” behavior reading vs. real-world influence

👀 Why body language is overrated (and what matters more)

⚡ The sneaky “resume answer” people use to dodge tough questions

🎯 How stress, blink rate, and baselines actually work

🗣️ The difference between ethical influence and dark manipulation (spoiler: perspective matters)

🔥 Why smart, successful people can be the easiest to influence
