Ep. 282 - Human Element Series - Sell Like A Spy with Jeremy Hurewitz

Ep. 282 - Human Element Series - Sell Like A Spy with Jeremy Hurewitz

Jeremy Hurewitz spent the first decade of his career overseas building the media association Project Syndicate while based out of Prague and Shanghai. He spearheaded a business development strategy that saw the association grow from a few dozen member newspapers in mostly Eastern Europe, to a truly global association of over 300 newspapers in over 100 countries.

 

When returning to the US, Jeremy worked for several well-known global consulting firms in the world of corporate security. These companies are staffed by former intelligence officers and Jeremy worked closely with these former spies. In addition to former spies, his colleagues included former members of the FBI and the law enforcement community, the Secret Service, the military, the State Department, and other government agencies.

 

Jeremy learned unique and impactful skills from all these former government employees, and he began utilizing the methods he picked up. Jeremy has synthesized these lessons from government service into the Sell Like a Spy program and works with clients to share these strategies to help them improve their ability to connect with targets, develop creative approaches to close deals, and overcome challenges.

Bio of The Social-Engineer Podcast

The Social-Engineer Podcast, hosted by Social-Engineer, LLC, focuses on the intricate aspects of human behavior, communication, and information exchange to aid in understanding and protecting against social engineering attacks.

Social engineering is a multidisciplinary field that combines science, psychology, and art. It encompasses any action that influences a person to take an action that may or may not be in their best interest. The podcast acknowledges that social engineering is not always negative and extends to various aspects of our lives, such as interactions with family, therapists, children, and spouses.

While social engineering can have positive applications, it is crucial to examine how it is utilized for both good and malicious purposes. The podcast draws parallels between the principles used in personal relationships or negotiation and those exploited by scammers and malicious social engineers to obtain data, information, or financial gain.
