Is your ability to read people secretly being sabotaged by your memory?
In this episode, we dive deep into the hidden connection between working memory and behavioural intelligence. Backed by cutting-edge neuroscience and cognitive psychology, we explore how your memory capacity impacts your ability to observe, interpret, and respond to others.

You'll learn:

• Why behavioural intelligence depends on memory scaffolding

• The cognitive traps caused by weak working memory

• How executive functions like inhibition and flexibility shape real-time behavioural analysis

• Whether memory training really improves your people-reading skills

• What neuroscience reveals about your brain’s behavioural prediction circuits

Whether you're in leadership, security, investigations, or simply want to think more clearly and connect more accurately, this is the missing piece you've been overlooking.

This episode isn’t theoretical.

It’s personal. Very personal.

Something happened this week involving my daughter that I wouldn’t wish on anyone. It shook me. And yet, I found myself confronted by the very thing I teach: emotional regulation, critical thinking, and behavioural intelligence, not in a classroom, but in real life, where it counts.

Everyone expected rage. Violence. Retaliation. And I’ll be honest, those thoughts were there. But instead of reacting, I chose to think. Not because I’m above anger, but because I’m committed to protecting the people I love with clarity, not chaos.

In this episode, we get int into the mindset it took to navigate that fire. We’ll explore the neuroscience of emotional control, the cost of binary thinking, and how to use Holmesian principles when your instincts are screaming for blood.

This isn’t about being clever. It’s about being clear-headed when it matters most. And it’s a reminder that thinking like Sherlock Holmes isn’t just an intellectual exercise, it’s a survival skill.

Let’s get into it.

In this episode, we dive into The Analyst’s Toolkit — exploring the powerful mental quadrants of instinct, intuition, logic, and reasoning. Whether you're in behavioral analysis, executive protection, investigations, or just fascinated by how elite thinkers operate, this toolkit is essential.

We break down:

🧠 What instinct really is and how it hijacks or helps

🌫️ Why intuition feels like magic (and when it isn’t)

⚖️ How logic organizes chaos into clarity

🧩 When to use deductive, inductive, and abductive reasoning

🔬 How to apply all of these using the lens of behavioral intelligence

If you've ever asked:

“Can I trust my gut?”

“Is this logic or just bias?”

“What’s the difference between instinct and intuition?” …this episode is your blueprint.

📚 Learn how to profile behavior, make smarter decisions, and build cognitive clarity in a world full of noise.

In this eye-opening episode of the Behavioural Intelligence series, we sit down with Ruth Fenton legal management consultant, neurodivergent mentor, and certified chaos-tamer to explore what it really means to think differently. From the misunderstood signs of ADHD and autism to the silent strategies of high masking, Ruth shares her raw, witty, and enlightening perspective on living and thriving with neurodivergence in a neurotypical world.

We unpack why traditional interviews disadvantage divergent minds, why stimming is a misunderstood superpower, and how being brutally honest isn’t rude—it’s efficient. If you want to sharpen your behavioural lens and understand the 'why' behind 'odd' workplace interactions, this is the episode that changes your view for good.

Welcome back, kindred spirits. In this episode, we peel back the curtain on everything changing behind the scenes. From splitting the show into two new streams (Behavioral Intelligence and Deductionist Core) to the memory mission that’s taken the internet by storm, this is your catch-up, reset, and rallying cry.

You’ll hear about:

🔍 Why pseudoscience is out and evidence-based skills are in

🧠 How cognitive offloading is weakening your mind (and how to fight back)

🧩 What’s next after the 100-day memory challenge

🤝 The communities growing around memory, reasoning, and real-world Sherlock skills

🧵 And why if you're here, you're not just a fan—you’re part of the case

If you're serious about developing the mindset, memory, and reasoning of a modern detective (with a healthy dose of sass), this is your starting point.

Forget what you’ve been sold about "deception detection" and reading folded arms.

In this episode, we go deep into the evolution of investigative interviewing, from the coercive confessions of the past to the empathy-driven peace models that actually work. With stories spanning from the Birmingham Six to the Central Park Five, we break down the shift from force to conversation, from ego to ethics.

Featuring first-hand accounts, Socratic questioning, and practical takeaways, this episode is a call to arms for ethical communication, whether you're in law enforcement, business, or just trying to be better at reading humans. If you think body language is the key, think again.

Is your body betraying your mind or the other way around?

In this episode of The Deductionist Podcast, we dive deep into the link between movement, emotion, and behavior. From the controversy around Amy Cuddy's power posing to the science of facial feedback, we unravel whether your posture can truly influence your mindset or just make you look weird in interviews.

We challenge surface-level interpretations of body language and explore how feelings, not just emotions, steer human behavior especially under pressure. Expect insights from neuroscience, psychology, and real-life stories in law enforcement and protection work.

🔍 Learn why context is king, why confidence isn’t just chemistry, and how your personal behavior repertoire trumps any one-size-fits-all model.

Whether you're trying to decode a suspect, survive a boardroom, or just understand why your gym playlist hits different this one's for you.

In this special crossover series with the Behavioural Intelligence Academy, we pull back the curtain on the skillset that turns good observers into elite operators.

This episode is your gateway into the world of Behavioural Intelligence what it is, why it matters, and how to start practising it in your everyday life.

We break down the science and strategy behind reading people, places, and patterns not through guesswork or pseudoscience but with structured, evidence-based observation. Whether you're decoding someone's motives mid-conversation or scanning a room for subtle shifts in dynamics, Behavioural Intelligence is the ultimate force multiplier.

You’ll learn:

🧠 What Behavioural Intelligence actually is and why it goes far beyond body language.

🔍 Simple drills you can do daily to sharpen your behavioural radar.

📚 Key reads to deepen your edge from profiling to perception, decision-making to deception.

All of it, grounded in logic, sharpened by science, and wrapped in the same wit and observational mischief you’ve come to expect from The Deductionist.
