How to stay yourself when the room gets weird
Episode 25 dives into a week of misreads, mismatched intentions, and unexpectedly charged meetings. Deb, Karim, and Vassili unpack how character shows up before the pitch, why narratives slip, and why people behave unpredictably when fear, ego, or incentives collide. They explore AI’s emerging role in negotiation psychology — not as a replacement for trust, but as an amplifier of human tells.
This episode serves as a field guide for navigating power dynamics without losing your center.
