Questions:

    What precipitated the need to write another book?

    You bring up several successful operations, and several failures…

        How do you regroup from a failure, especially if the point of entry is someone that ‘got you’...

“The level of the assistance you request must be equal to the level of rapport you have built” -

    Seems like understanding this is an acquired skill, not set in stone…

 

Many of us in the infosec world are introverts… how do you suggest we hone our skills in building rapport without coming off as creepy?

Work place? On the commute?

Does being an introvert mean that it might take longer to get to the goal? Can we use our introverted natures to our advantage?

        Get Ryan on the show…        

                   

Lots of items

(8 principles of influence)   

 

Typical daily SE activities

    Holding a door open, then the person reciprocates

 

Framing

    We don’t ‘kill our dogs’, we ‘put them to sleep’.

 

Questions from our Slack:

 

Ben:

Do you feel there's an importance for non-InfoSec adjacent folks to learn about Social Engineering, and maybe go through some sort of training in order to navigate day-to-day life in the modern world?

 

What does an interview at Chris’ company look like?
