This week we are joined by a very special guest, Board Certified Behavior Analyst Kendall Rindak-Samuel.

Join us as we debunk common myths and gain an enriched understanding of human behavior, all while Kendall shares her dual expertise in behavioral sports psychology and dissemination.
During the episode Kendall discusses the value of ongoing research beyond initial education, highlighting how honing observational skills in daily life can strengthen both personal and professional relationships. She also touches on the pitfalls of self-diagnosis on social media and underscores the need for ethical standards in changing behaviors that genuinely impact individuals’ lives.

Thomas Crooks: A Behavioral Profile
This week, we bring you an analysis of one of the most alarming events in recent history: the attempted assassination of Donald Trump by Thomas Crooks. We dive deep into the psychological profile of Crooks, examining how his actions challenge our preconceived notions of what drives someone to commit such violent acts. By comparing his behaviors and planning to those of school shooters, we uncover a chilling quest for notoriety and historical infamy. Our discussion also reveals the procedural and communication lapses that allowed this plan to unfold and highlights missed opportunities for intervention.
Join us as we dissect the critical elements of interagency communication and the human factors that can make or break critical operations. Our conversation sheds light on the complexities of coordination gaps and why maintaining seamless collaboration is paramount. We share real-life anecdotes from combat zones to illustrate how minor mistakes can escalate into significant consequences. By focusing on Crook’s behavior before and during the attack, we bring a nuanced understanding of his intentions, moving beyond speculative opinions to factual evidence.
In the final segments, we emphasize the importance of identifying genuine patterns in criminal behavior without succumbing to confirmation bias. By analyzing specific case studies and psychological motives, we stress the necessity of letting patterns emerge naturally to gain accurate insights. Our conversation covers everything from Crooks' choice in pornography to the type of bomb he used, aiming to piece together a comprehensive profile that can aid in preventing future threats. Tune in for a thought-provoking episode that challenges your understanding of criminal psychology, and the steps needed to ensure such events are not repeated.

Threshold For Action
Humans are great at pattern recognition, but we often fail at the analysis portion because we have to rely primarily on subjective interpretations of events. So, this week, we are talking about the difficulty in determining when a situation has met a threshold for action, and we give you some basic takeaways that you can use to determine when it’s time to intervene.
During the episode we break down various real-life scenarios, including a mayor's criminal actions, a chilling family annihilator case, and an ambush on law enforcement, to illustrate how taking the time to identify seemingly subtle cues allows you to see a much clearer picture of an event.
We explore the often-overlooked shifts in behavior that can lead to catastrophic outcomes, using natural patterns and high-profile cases like Chad Dorman and Misty Roberts as examples. You'll learn about the role of attribution errors and the necessity of adjusting your baselines to maintain accurate situational awareness, particularly in high-stakes environments like law enforcement.
Finally, we delve into the importance of critical thinking and adaptive strategies in understanding human behavior. By examining historical precedents and concepts like Darwinian evolution and power dynamics, we discuss how to reassess and correct harmful patterns. This episode also emphasizes the significance of time, communication, and seeking feedback to navigate unpredictable situations effectively.
