Because you do what?

I remember hearing some security expert talk about this, and I chuckled when I heard him say this and took his advice to heart, that if you were locked out of your house and you didn't have a key and you had to basically break into your own house, you probably would know how to do it.

You probably know where that weak spot is, right?

When a criminal targets your home, what's their intention?

What are they thinking?

What is the most likely safety threat anybody faces?

Overconfidence.

Overconfidence?

So talk about that feeling that something isn't right feeling the elevator door opens and there's that guy and you go, yeah, I don't know.

And most of us just suck it up and say, well, I'm just being paranoid and get in the elevator.

And I think what often drives that decision is you don't want to offend someone.

That guy on the elevator may be giving you the creeps, but that's not who you are.

You don't want to be offensive.

We're talking about safety, personal safety, and my guest is Spencer Corson.

He's author of the book, The Safety Trap, a security expert's secrets for staying safe in a dangerous world.

So Spencer, what about the situation, and I think everybody's had this situation happen, where you're somewhere and somebody comes up to you and they start a conversation.

It doesn't feel right.

It's like this could lead to trouble.

It sounds off.

What do you do?
