I Dare You Podcast

In Episode 213 of the I Dare You podcast, I sit down with Brad Beeler — recently retired after 25 years with the United States Secret Service and author of a game-changing book, Tell Me Everything: A Secret Service Agent’s Proven Strategies for Earning Trust, Revealing the Truth, and Communicating With Anyone.

Brad has worked in the highest-stakes communication environments in the world. He protected President George H. W. Bush and foreign heads of state. He spent 17 years as a federal polygraph examiner, securing confessions in major investigations and conducting more criminal polygraphs than anyone in agency history.

At the National Center for Credibility Assessment (NCCA), he trained thousands of federal law enforcement and intelligence professionals in credibility assessment and elicitation.

He holds a master’s degree in criminology, was named U.S. Secret Service Special Agent of the Year for combating crimes against children, and is now recognized globally as a sought-after communications expert.

If you lead a team, sell, parent, coach, or simply want to stop getting played by vague answers and half-truths, this episode will upgrade how you communicate immediately.

Press play and take notes, because you’re going to walk into that conversation with a new level of clarity, confidence, and control.

What happens when you stop trying to fit in and start showing up as yourself?

In this episode, I sit down with Harriet—a British singer and songwriter whose voice evokes the timeless spirit of the 1970s. With a sound that resonates across generations, she is fast becoming one of the most compelling new voices in contemporary music.

Harriet has built a devoted audience online, with over 100M+ online engagements and a combined social media following of 685,000 fans across Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok. In 2025, she completed a sold-out 30-date UK tour, delighting audiences nationwide and further establishing her reputation as a captivating live performer.

Her career continues to grow internationally with the recent announcement of her first U.S. tour in early 2026, marking the beginning of her next chapter in America. For tour dates and tickets, go to www.harrietsings.com

Harriet is continuing to work on new original material with legendary songwriter John Bettis, co-writer of many of The Carpenters’ biggest hits. This collaboration places her firmly in the lineage of classic songwriting, while showcasing her own artistry to a new generation of fans.

Blending heartfelt originals with reimagined classics, Harriet is curating an era for today’s audiences; a sound that feels both nostalgic and refreshingly new.

But this isn't just a conversation about music. It's about what it takes to silence the noise, stop comparing yourself to everyone else, and dare to be exactly who you are.

Here's what we cover:

The turning point when doubt crept onto stage—and how she reclaimed her confidence

Why feeling like an imposter means you're actually growing

How authenticity beats perfection every single time

The power of trusting your gut, even when it's uncomfortable

If you've ever felt like you don't belong, like you're not enough, or like you need to be someone else to succeed—this episode is for you.

Stop waiting for permission. Stop playing small. Trust your gut and take action.

That voice in your head saying "Who do you think you are?"

Here's what nobody tells you: if you're not experiencing imposter syndrome, you're playing small.

Research shows 70% of people feel like frauds at some point—and you know who feels it the most? High performers. The ones actually doing the thing.

But here's the shift: imposter syndrome isn't the problem. It's actually a sign you're doing something right.

In this episode, I'm giving you a powerful, proven 3-step framework that completely reframes how you think about this feeling. Because you're not overcoming imposter syndrome—you're becoming a different person.

Stop waiting until you feel ready. That day will never come.

Your move: Listen to this episode. Then take one action that scares you.

Let's go.

If you haven't done the work yet, now's the time. Your Future Self needs you to stop drifting and start leading with intention—not just intensity.
