    Episode 139: The Art of Agreement: Negotiation Secrets with Paul Nadeau
    Aug 15 2025

    n an engaging interview on SiriusXM's "Cordially Yours," host Charles McFersonson converses with Paul Nadeau, an esteemed hostage negotiator, former detective, and author. Nadeau shares insights from his extensive career, contrasting real-world negotiations with their cinematic portrayals. He emphasizes the critical role of building trust, maintaining a calm demeanor, and allowing time for individuals in high-stress situations to process information. Nadeau introduces his "PIE" (Planning, Intent, Engaging) framework for effective communication and negotiation, highlighting the importance of respecting the "client"—even if that client is a hostage-taker or a murderer. The discussion extends to broader applications of negotiation tactics in personal relationships, stressing the value of active listening, empathy, and seeking mutual understanding over simply "winning" an argument.

    Episode 138: Choose your Life
    Aug 11 2025
    🎙 Podcast Title: The Arena with Linda McLaughlin Episode: 49 – J. Paul Nadeau: Choose Your Life Summary: In this powerful and deeply personal conversation, host Linda McLaughlin speaks with J. Paul Nadeau — former police detective, hostage negotiator, international peacekeeper, keynote speaker, and author of Take Control of Your Life. Drawing from a traumatic childhood with an abusive, alcoholic father, a 30-year career in law enforcement, and several major life challenges (including divorce and a near-death encounter with terrorists), Paul shares his central message: we often become hostages to our own negative thoughts, but we also hold the key to our freedom by changing our mindset. Key Themes & Insights: Being a Hostage to Your Mind: Like a real hostage negotiator, Paul describes how people obey the “hostage-taker” of negative self-talk. Liberation begins with challenging and replacing destructive narratives. Turning Trauma into Purpose: His childhood abuse, once a source of pain, became a driving force that led him into a career helping others — from arresting abusers to saving lives in crisis. Life’s Setbacks as Gifts: Divorce, career transitions, and unexpected changes can be reframed as opportunities for growth and new experiences. Profound Life Lesson: While on a peacekeeping mission in Jordan, Paul was nearly killed by insurgents but was saved by a man he later learned was a terrorist — solely because Paul had treated him with respect. This reinforced the importance of dignity in human interactions. Living Courageously: Courage is about stepping beyond fear in every arena — physical, moral, social, intellectual — to pursue the life you want. Responsibility and Choice: Your past does not justify harmful actions today. You are the product of your present choices, not your past suffering. Mindset for the Present: Paul urges listeners not to live in the “poor me hotel” of the past or become overly fixated on the future. The present is the gift where change and joy happen. Legacy & Impact: Paul aims to leave the world better through his writing, speaking, and personal example — inspiring others to believe, “Why not me?” Notable Quotes: "Nobody’s coming to rescue you… it’s up to you to make radical changes in your life." "Some of the most beautiful things lie beyond our fears." "The present is called the present because it is a gift." "You are not a product of your past — you are a product of your choices." Closing Message: No matter your current circumstances, someone has overcome something similar. Seek out solutions, surround yourself with positive influences, and make intentional choices to live an extraordinary life.
