Michael Reddington has spent decades mastering the art of getting
to the truth—not through force, but through listening. In this
episode, he unpacks how high-stakes interrogation techniques
apply to leadership, parenting, interviews, and everyday life. If
you lead people—or want to influence others—this one is a
masterclass.





What You’ll Learn in This Episode:





Why most people don’t lie—they just protect

How to encourage honesty without forcing a confession

The 3 psychological needs you must meet to get someone to
open up

Why “why” questions shut people down—and what to ask instead

What world leaders, parents, and CEOs can all learn from
interrogators






Why You Should Listen:
If you're a parent, leader, coach, or partner, this episode will
change how you ask questions forever. It’s not manipulation—it’s
communication done right.
