This is a Fan Fav episode. You think you can spot a lie? Think again. In this episode, I’m joined by the incredible Vanessa Van Edwards—body language and human behavior expert, and founder of Science of People. Vanessa lays out the five fundamental cues to help you spot deception, debunks what you think you know about liars, and walks us through real-life tactics to not only detect lies, but to make sure we come across as our most honest and confident selves.
