Negotiation. For too long, the word has been twisted—hijacked by hardball tactics, manipulation, and a distorted view of “winning”.
But not here. Welcome to Shear Line—the podcast that’s bound and determined to reclaim and restore the good name of negotiation and unlock the door to value creation, win-win solutions, and the true power of collaboration and integrative negotiation. And yes—we’re also shining a very bright light on the bullies, the bluffers, and gaslighters who mistake coercion for competence, and make you cringe when you hear the word, negotiation.
So, why Shear Line? Well, inside a lock, the shear line is the space or the line created when the right key is inserted and all of the pins align, allowing the lock to turn and open. That’s what we’re after. Precision. Understanding. And unlocking better conversations.
So whether you’re in sales, leadership, real estate—or just trying to get your toddler to wear shoes—this podcast is for you. Let’s find the line where progress happens. Let’s open some doors.
