Sharpening Your Spidey-Sense: De Becker's Gift of Fear

Published: June 4, 2021, 7 a.m.

Today you get a sneak peek at what our Patreon-exclusive episodes are like. This was last June's patrons-only offering. We do one of these every month, just for our Patreon angels!

Today we've decided to zero in on a subject that comes up all the time on our show: Intuition. That \u201cgut feeling\u201d that tells us our best friend\u2019s new boyfriend is a wrong \u2018un, our kid\u2019s new basketball coach is creepy, we should have this Uber driver pull over and let us out\u2026right now. I\u2019m sure you\u2019ve heard us mention former Secret Service agent and security expert Gavin de Becker\u2019s book The Gift of Fear: Survival Signals that Protect Us from Violence. It\u2019s basically the True Crime Campfire sacred text, and today\u2019s episode will be a sort of \u201cCliffs Notes\u201d version, with some true crime tie-ins and personal stories mixed in.
