"The Forged by Trust podcast stands alone because of what Robin Dreeke, my friend, and former colleague brings to the table. He listens, he challenges, he links to other speakers, he simplifies complex ideas, and as a thought leader he has much to offer. For many out there, what they teach is theory, Robin walked the walk; he was there in the trenches, and he learned things few can imagine. That's why I love going on his show. Anytime.”

Being interviewed by Robin is like hanging out with an old friend. He’s charming, witty, and is able to explore the depths of one’s life experiences without making you feel like someone is prying. It’s an easy, fun conversation and I’m a better person for knowing him! Robin truly knows his stuff and is so insightful. Every episode I learn from!

“In all my years at CIA, I never met anyone who understood better how to size people up and build trusting relationships, than retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke. I observed with admiration how Robin forged relationships by trust when we worked side by side in the Intelligence Community two decades ago. And now he's passing along that valuable insight in his exceptionally informative podcasts, which lift the veil on how to build the personal connections on which our lives depend. ”

As a change agent in the evolution of culture transformation for over 20 years, I am profoundly grateful to know Robin Dreeke, a powerful thought leader focused on the essential dynamics needed for TRUST and COLLABORATION. I have directly experienced Robin’s character, values and trustworthy behaviors when being interviewed on his podcast, co-presenting with him on the executive series “The Evolving Leader” and in our strategic partnership. Robin not only walks the talk, he provides everyone he meets with rich, trend-forward information based on his continuous study, real-world experience from years in the military, the FBI BAU, and in his authentic, heart-centered stories from his personal and professional life.

It was instantly apparent to me why Robin Dreeke was such a superb spy recruiter for the FBI. He exhibits patience, empathy, preparation, keen interpersonal skills, careful listening, authenticity, and perceptiveness. In sum, you feel like you are the center of his attention. I very much enjoyed being the guest of such an expert at human relations.
