In this gripping episode of Negotiate Anything, host Kwame Christian sits down with billionaire Jay Bloom and his son Sean, as they recount their harrowing experience with the OceanGate submarine. Join them as they delve into the power of difficult conversations and how it ultimately saved their lives. From questioning claims to navigating bullying and persuasion tactics, this episode offers valuable insights into effective communication and negotiation strategies.

We will discuss:

  • The role of fear and intuition:
  • Setting boundaries and saying 'no'
  • Maintaining empathy and respect

You will learn:

  • Trusting one's instincts and recognizing the protective nature of fear can be crucial in making life-saving decisions.
  • Prioritizing one's well-being and learning to assert oneself by setting boundaries and saying 'no' can have significant positive impacts.
  • Curiosity is instrumental in gathering vital information to help evaluate risks and make informed decisions.


By drawing lessons from the Blooms' remarkable journey, listeners will be reminded that the best things in life...sometimes life itself...are on the other side of difficult conversations.
