In The Driver's Seat with Janine Driver
9-Minute Brain Hacks to Make You a Badass
Alright, let’s cut the crap—In the Driver Seat with Janine Driver isn’t your grandma’s podcast (unless your grandma’s a badass, in which case, bring her along).
This is where you come to learn the shit nobody’s teaching: how to read people like a poker champ, drop a verbal nuke when it counts, and own the damn room like a boss.
Here’s the deal:
• Every week, I’m dropping two 9-minute episodes so packed with body language hacks, statement analysis, and persuasion techniques, you’ll wonder why the hell no one told you this sooner.
• We’re taking headlines straight from the news, dissecting the drama, and showing you how to use the same strategies to crush it at work and in life.
• Want to see this magic in action? Check out YouTube on the Janine Driver channel, where I’ll show you exactly how to move, how to own it, and how to leave people saying, “Damn, that was good.”
This isn’t some fluffy, motivational B.S. podcast. This is science-backed, swear-worthy, make-your-competition-cry kind of stuff. You’ll get tools I used to spot Nazis, gunrunners, and liars—and trust me, if it works on the worst, it’ll work in your next board meeting, pitch, or even date night.
So, what are you waiting for? Get in. Buckle up.
Let’s f***ing roll.
You’re in the Driver Seat now. Don’t let anyone take it from you.
