0:00.0	Welcome to episode 237 of the JVP Podcast. I'm Michaela Peterson. In this episode,
0:06.8	Dad had a conversation with Robert Green, the author of the New York Times bestsellers,
0:12.8	the 48th laws of power, the art of seduction, and the 33 strategies of war and mastery.
0:20.0	Their conversation was centered around human nature and principles surrounding strategy,
0:25.0	power and seduction, as well as psychopathy, manipulation, agreeableness, ambition,
0:30.4	channeling your shadow, and many other topics. Robert's fit on my podcast before and he is
0:36.8	extremely interesting. Definitely going to enjoy listening to this podcast.
