Ever wondered what really happens in a hostage situation?

Well this week's guest, Author, former Scotland Yard Detective, and Hostage Negotiator Scott Walker is here to tell us just that.

Scott also shares the how the professional communication and negotiation skills that he has acquired throughout his three-decade-long career can be applied in normal people's professional and personal lives.
