On this episode of The Protectors Podcast, Mike and Mark welcome Dr. Buzz Mingin for a fascinating conversation about stress - what it does to the body and brain, how it affects our judgment, and why scammers and fraudsters deliberately use pressure and urgency to manipulate their victims.
Dr. Buzz breaks down the physical and psychological effects of stress, including the role of hormones and the body’s natural fight-or-flight response. He also shares practical techniques for slowing things down, regaining control, and making clearer decisions -especially when faced with a suspicious phone call, message, financial request, or potential scam.
This informative and engaging discussion offers valuable tools for managing everyday stress while also helping listeners recognize when fear, confusion, or urgency may be used against them.
The Protectors Podcast - Recognize the Pressure. React. Resist the Scam.
