Today we sit down with Brian Galke; founder of SubtleSkills, keynote speaker, trainer, and self-proclaimed “awesome podcast guest.” With a career built on teaching others how to unlock the power of human connection, Brian has developed an eye for the nuances that often go unnoticed in our daily interactions.

In this conversation, Brian pulls back the curtain on the hidden language of the face. From the way our eyebrows frame connection, to the subtle cues that reveal how someone learns and engages. What begins as a discussion on facial features unfolds into a deeper exploration of presence, trust, and the kind of interpersonal skills that can’t be automated.

Listeners will find themselves rethinking the role of eye contact, noticing what technology is quietly eroding, and questioning whether technical expertise alone can sustain success in a world where soft skills are becoming the true currency.
