Exploring Aptyonyms and the Sunk Cost Fallacy

"I'm grateful she scammed me... at the end of the day I'm better for it"

Can fraud actually lead to positive outcomes? That's the provocative question at the heart of this week's episode, where I sit down with Johnathan Walton – a man who turned his own devastating scam experience into a mission that's helped countless victims reclaim their power.

Johnathan shares the shocking story of how he was manipulated by a con artist posing as an Irish heiress, and the unexpected silver lining that transformed him into one of today's leading experts on scams and the psychology behind them.

We also dive into Johnathan's latest project – the riveting podcast "Cocaine Air" – which chronicles the incredible true story of TJ Dominguez, a former cocaine smuggler who flew $2 billion worth of drugs for Colombia's most notorious cartels.
