@Audrey Fairy Undercover work is similar. HIgh risk, need to build rapport & trust. Sales is also the same. The niche of SW you're describing is high touch sales. As is professional Magic. CIA case officers also need to be good at aftercare. They run agents and need to protect their mental health. Can't have "John" having a break down during a deal and telling everybody "I can't do this anymore. My name is Tom.". This is where pimps and other source recruiters come into the picture. If you deal with people, you deal with people. Historical: 'Suzy Thunder' was an old school hacker very skilled at Social Engineering.

A variation of Buffet's advice is common for Command. There's a ST:TNG clip[1] of Data calling Worf into the ready room to chastise him for openly challenging his orders. Names have their power, but be sure it's a True Name before putting trust in it's power. ------------- [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vdiQhMPt1Zo

I has seen "Midnight Express'(1978). #LPT Sweat less, It makes the tape slip And the dogs can smell your fear. Or your pee. Or the hashish. Regardless, one or the other,

Good times. The OR was a bit risky. Lil different from Novacaine(2025) - rom-com where the protagonist is congenitally painless. Except for his heart.

@Anthony Fozbearns Heists are good times. One thing though, It's like that thing they say about poker: if you look around the table and can't tell who the mark is, it's probably you.
