In the 1870s,  thousands of people poured into the mining town of Deadwood Gulch in the Black Hills of South Dakota.
Some of those people are still famous today.   
"Calamity Jane" - known throughout the world as the gun-slinging, bar and brothel owner . 
Wyatt Earp -  the most dangerous of all the gun-slinging US Marshals.
Wild Bill Hickok, a man whose biographers claimed  killed only six people in gunfights.
And there was another person... 
A man whose identity was a mystery until current-day investigators got to work... 
Their trail involved forensic dentistry, genealogy, and, good, old-fashioned detective work to trace the identity of an unknown man dead for over one-hundred-and-twenty years.

This episode of the Fearless Mindset Podcast is the second part of our conversation with Miranda Coppoolse, Behavior Analyst and Security Risk Advisor at MC Global Security Consulting. Talking to kids with trauma is more like an interrogation of how things operate today.

Miranda shares how she created a forensic program that helps organizations interview kids in a non-threatening and emphatic way, as interrogating usually does more harm than good. She also gives her insight on discarding ego and how loyalty and hard work can make women thrive in the EP industry.

GOLDEN NUGGETS

A step-by-step program that treats trauma victims with empathy - Miranda: "When kids are being interviewed, it's not really interviewing, it's more on an interrogation. And for young people or even people with trauma, that is very threatening, so you don't really dare to say anything anymore. So it requires really a certain technique and empathy almost to do that."

"Because I can give you, for instance, the sheet on how to do it or the questions, but some people just don't have that. They cannot make a connection with a kid or a bond so, I created a step-by-step program in where I help organizations who are in that field to interview those victims."

Loyalty and hard work are the keys to success for women in EP - Miranda: "Just go after what you want. It's oftentimes hard because it's not an easy industry. So that's what you have to realize, it's a lot of training and you have to continue getting trained, get as much experience as you can. Believe in yourself. Just keep going.

If it's really what you want, and especially in executive protection for ladies, there are not that many. So once you're good enough, I mean trained enough and ready for it, there's a lot of work out there. But yeah, just be honest and be loyal and just work hard."

Tune in for this discussion of what an energy reader is, what the difference is between an established and an underdeveloped reader, and common misconceptions.

MaryAnna Clemons started her spiritual journey as a tarot reader, and after three years of working as a psychic and an evidential medium, she realized she could talk to anything or anyone as an energy reader. As a result, she began communicating with non-verbal people who needed help facilitating conversations, like people suffering from Autism or Rett’s Syndrome. She also started working with animals and created a unique method of evidential animal communication for both alive and passed animals.

In this episode, MaryAnna shares the ins and outs of being a psychic and how she works with her students to develop their skills, trust the information they are getting, and become energy readers. In addition, she discusses her work with the burgeoning field of forensic investigation and how the legal system is using psychic consultants to gather information on cases.

Člověk je a vždy bude tím nejslabším opatřením ve společnosti. Povíme si jak vypadá human hacking a o metodách sociálního inženýrství. Manipulace s lidskou myslí je velice účinná technika hackerů, která je často využívána nejen při phishingovém útoku. Human hacking je stále více využíván útočníky z celého světa a proto je nutné si uvědomit tuto skutečnou hrozbu.
