Introducing: 'Hardcore Con' with Johnathan Walton

from PRETEND · host Creative Babble, LLC

My friend Johnathan Walton just launched a new show called Hardcore Con, and I had to share it with you. Each episode, he breaks down a con story and the specific psychological tactics scammers use to pull it off. And this episode gets at something I think about a lot: it doesn't matter how smart you are.
