DeepSummary
In this episode, Mike Rowe interviews Gavin de Becker, a leading expert on de-escalation and personal protection. They discuss the importance of intuition and distinguishing between true fear and unwarranted fear, as well as the epidemic of unexpected deaths among healthy people that began in 2021.
Gavin de Becker explains how his company trains people for careers in personal protection, including simulations like being attacked by dogs and shot with non-lethal ammunition. He emphasizes the value of integrity, skepticism, and following one's intuition in dangerous situations.

Top Episodes Quotes
- “I'm convinced he's right. Not just about the airplane, but about the snarling dogs and the simulated ammunition and the important business of training the next generation of experts in the wild and woolly world of personal protection.“ by Mike Rowe
- “When fear gets your attention and says, don't argue with me now, don't debate with me right now, just act now that fear is true fear. And I'm going to talk about the difference between true fear and unwarranted fear, which is the question you're asking.“ by Gavin de Becker
- “So governments become in the fear business and in the solution business. Right? We're going to. Here's the thing to be afraid of, killer bees, Russians, communism, terrorists, terrorism, whatever it is, virus, and then we're going to be the only solution.“ by Gavin de Becker
- “If we are not able to ask skeptical questions or to interrogate those who tell us that something is true, to be skeptical of those in authority, then we're up for grabs for the next charlatan, political or religious, who comes along.“ by Carl Sagan (quoted by Gavin de Becker)
