    It's really funny to me how he's using those techniques on us, as the audience to this video.
    We clicked on the video probably out of curiosity, but he may well have deftly realised that a lot of people would actually want to know how to use his techniques in their everyday life, and he gave his techniques and reassurance to make us feel seen, heard and understood in what we probably didn't even realise we wanted.
    Master at his art. Well done.

  • @DaniHMcV
    @DaniHMcV Před 5 měsíci +3

    I think kidnapping will become more and more common in developed countries. The divide between the rich and the poor is becoming enormous and working a regular job these days doesn’t even mean you’ll be okay. Working two, three jobs just to pay the bills and still have nothing will push some to the edge.

  • @Clearlight201
    @Clearlight201 Před 5 měsíci +9

    Interesting interview with one gaping hole - the unasked/unanswered question of how or when if ever does law enforcement get involved in taking out the kidnappers? The interview made it sound as if you just haggle over the price then pay them and they go on to do it again and again.

    • @TeaCup1940
      @TeaCup1940 Před 4 měsíci

      Because that is unfortunately exactly what happens. If law enforcement would do their job properly in many countries there wouldn't even be any kidnappers. But yes, they do this again and again as he said and they are an illegal business.

    Obviously this role requires nerves of steel. However, let’s be real- there are many people capable of handing over great wedges of money to kidnappers. The courier is in a far riskier role.
    Making these huge payouts saves one life whilst simultaneously feeding into a system that will end up claiming more lives than he has saved. It’s a false economy that only benefits the criminal gangs in the end.
