Instantly Read Anyone Like a Spy: How to Know Who’s Safe - And Who’s Dangerous | Andrew Bustamante PT 2
Description
Welcome back to part 2 of this electrifying Women of Impact double feature, as Lisa Bilyeu and ex-CIA expert Andrew Bustamante continue to rip the mask off celebrity scandals and dissect the gray space between power, consent, and manipulation. In the second half, Andrew brings his spy-level skills to the accusations against James Franco—exploring the truthfulness of his on-air confessions about relationships with students and whether he crosses the line from “celebrity opportunity” to predatory behavior. Also under the microscope: the recent legal feud between Blake Lively and director/actor Justin Baldini, featuring real behind-the-scenes set footage.
Lisa and Andrew invite you to consider—how do we really judge whether someone’s behavior is toxic masculinity or weaponized victimhood? What does power look like when the cameras are off? Learn how to protect yourself by reading the non-verbal cues and micro-expressions signal drama in your own life. This is a must-listen masterclass for anyone wanting to level up their people-reading skills and confidence.
