Trump, Iran, and the Art of the Deal & the Battle for the Future of the Secret Service

About this episode

The episode discusses U.S. negotiations with Iran, the future of OPEC, and the Secret Service with guests Jared Knott and Richard V. Battle.

Jared Knott was unable to join us, but I am leaving his links here in case you want to check out his work. (I would highly recommend you do.) As tensions with Iran continue to dominate headlines, and the threat of resuming military action looms, the central question is: are we witnessing a high-stakes negotiation strategy unfold? Or is President Trump doing just what the political left and the "Doomers" are claiming, just randomly acting with a real plan? I know what I think, but we will discuss it with Jared Knott, author of the Tiny Blunders/Big Disasters Book series. With member states formally leaving, what is the future of OPEC? What should the future of the Secret Service look like? Did you realize that we are at the beginning of Graduation Season? These are just some of the topics I will be discussing with award-winning, best-selling author, generational-influencing keynote speaker and trainer on leadership, motivation, sales, and faith, and media commentator frequently appearing on radio and television, Richard V. Battle. Jared Knott: https://www.tinyblundersbigdisasters.com/ Tiny Blunders/Big Disasters: Thirty-Nine Tiny Mistakes That Changed the World Forever…
