A high-signal masterclass in human behaviour with Gavin Stone — ex-intelligence officer, body-language & behaviour expert, and real-world spy strategist.

🗣️ Statement Analysis 101 — how real denial sounds vs. pacifying talk
🧩 Identity-based persuasion — why people buy who they are, not what they need
🐺 Animal archetypes — territory, dominance, pack dynamics, and calm under pressure
