  • How Words Work

    Deception isn’t about lying. It’s about language.


    How Words Work examines how the same language patterns used by liars and manipulators appear when people are anxious, defensive, or trying to be believed and why that damages credibility.

    This podcast is for anyone whose words matter and who wants them to carry authority instead of suspicion.
