The latest episode is NOW LIVE!!🎉

On this weeks episode, we had the pleasure of sitting down with two incredible people from the Skull Games team, Michal and Joe!

Skull Games, Inc., founded by Jeff Tiegs, is a non-profit organization that provides analytical and operational support through Law Enforcement Agencies to interdict s*x predators, all by using Open-Source information found online. Once identified, Skull Games supports Law Enforcement by providing actionable leads to arrest, prosecute, and imprison s*x traffickers, and offer victims a path to freedom.

After retiring with almost 20 years of service from the Canadian Armed Forces as an Intelligence Operator, Michal came out of retirement to work with Skull Games as their Director of Intelligence. By providing her expertise in the intelligence cycle and support for planning operations involving ground and air assets, Michal has participated in numerous national level missions, both domestically and abroad.

After his time in the Marine Core, Joe transitioned to the police force, working in s*x crime investigations, in the crime lab, as a member of the SWAT team, and then later fully into trafficking investigations. He was then brought into Skull Games as their Director of Law Enforcement Engagement, responsible for liaising with law enforcement agencies and coordinating direct support for local law enforcement operations.

We picked their brains on what they're seeing in the field, why they think people get caught up in this crime, and how things may differ between Canada and the US🇨🇦🇺🇸

Truly such an insightful conversation with some incredibly remarkable people💪

Thank you Michal, Joe, and the entire team at Skull Games for what you do!

“Forgiveness was one part, a major part, of rewriting my story”
-Deb Alcadinho

In our latest podcast episode with Deb, a major part of the discussion was centred around forgiveness, and the role it played in her story.

Forgiveness is not always easy, in fact, it’s probably one of the hardest things to come to when you have been abused and/or exploited in some way by someone.

It’s important to know, forgiveness doesn’t mean you have to forget.

In this weeks episode, we sat down with the incredibly inspiring Dr. Charles Mulli, philanthropist, entrepreneur, and environmentalist.

While growing up in Kenya, Dr. Mulli faced incredible hardship after being abandoned by his family at the age of six, leaving him to spend his childhood simply trying to survive. Fast forward into adulthood, Dr. Mulli had a life-changing incident, when a group of kids stole his car while on a work trip. What stuck with him most, was the desperation these kids had displayed, a desperation he knew all too well from his own childhood.

This incident is what led him to start Mully Children's Family, a non-profit organization based in Kenya, that works to support and house disadvantaged youth. A true inspiration to many, and to thousands of kids who now lovingly call him their father.

Billie Eilish opens up about how p*rn destroyed her brain🧠 Most people aren't willing to have this conversation because society has labelled p*rnography as acceptable when it shouldn't be. P*rnography is damaging to our brain, our mental health, our relationships, and so much more. P*rnography is also feeding the human trafficking market at large. Time and time again we hear stories and facts that support what Eilish is describing as her personal experience. We know these conversations aren't easy, but they are necessary. Please share and keep the conversation going! #billieeilish #addictions #podcastclips #society #stories #mentalhealth #relationships #damage #brain #share #instadaily #socialmedia #lifestyle #daily #instagram #facebook #podcastcommunity #podcastersofinstagram #interview #awareness #explorepage #follow #share #joysmithfoundation #lumaandbloom #lumamoment
