Secret Service Agent: 3 Questions That Reveal the Truth | Evy Poumpouras
“Stop doing things that you are only comfortable with.”
Today's guest is Evy Poumpouras. As a member of the most prestigious protection force in the world for over 12 years, Evy served on the Secret Service’s Presidential Protective Division for President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama. She has also protected presidents George W. Bush, William J. Clinton, and George H.W. Bush. When not safeguarding the world’s most high value assets, Evy worked complex criminal investigations, operated undercover, and was an interrogator for the agency’s elite polygraph unit specially trained in the art of lie detection, human behavior, and cognitive influence.
Evy’s actions as a first responder during the 9/11 terror attacks on the World Trade Center in New York City bestowed her the United States Secret Service Valor Award.
In this episode Lewis and Evy discuss the three questions to ask someone in order to get the truth, the best way to build command, authority and credibility, how to stop worrying about other people’s opinions, and so much more!
