Ep. 12 Episode 6 - The Art of Detecting Deception


Alan Saquella has spent 30 years catching liars — as a Professor at Embry-Riddle and Director of Investigations at Verensics. In this episode, he breaks down how to tell the difference between nervous and deceptive, whether hiring managers can spot a liar, and the worst interview lie he’s ever caught.

If you’ve ever wondered whether the person across from you is telling the truth, this one’s for you.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
