Will Diddy's Son Face A Life Behind Bars As Well? Did privilege and power create an untouchable family? Christian Combs, son of Sean "Diddy" Combs, faces civil allegations of sexual assault and battery during a 2022 yacht trip. The disturbing claims echo a pattern of alleged abuse and unchecked behavior tied to his father. Defense Attorney Bob Motta explores the complexity of privilege, upbringing, and personal accountability in a world where power can blur the lines of right and wrong. Was Christian just a product of his insulated environment, or does he bear full responsibility for his alleged actions? And how does this tie back to the growing list of accusations against Diddy himself? When generational privilege meets alleged criminal behavior, where do we draw the line between influence and accountability? #ChristianCombs #Diddy #TrueCrime #CivilLawsuit #PrivilegeAndPower #Justice #Accountability Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Jonathan Levi – Inside Wakefield Prison: Life Behind Bars in the Monster Mansion (Inside Prison Series)…with TRE's Giles Brown

In the "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski" podcast, retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke discusses the complexities of the Ashley Benefield case with Tony Brueski. Benefield is on trial for the murder of her husband, Doug Benefield, and claims self-defense. Dreeke highlights that understanding Benefield's mental state and context is crucial, especially her impulsive behavior and fear potentially stemming from Doug's past actions, such as shooting into the ceiling. This incident, testified by Doug's daughter Ava, may have contributed to Ashley's fear. Dreeke points out the disconnect between Doug's stable behavior and Ashley's erratic actions, suggesting that external influences, such as her upbringing, might have shaped her reactions. He notes that while Doug had an isolated incident of extreme behavior, Ashley's response escalated to lethal violence without a clear history of similar actions. Dreeke also questions the narrative provided by Ashley's defense, emphasizing the need to understand her perception of events, such as describing Doug's stance as a "warrior pose." The conversation touches on the broader implications of justice, considering the impact on Doug's and Ashley's daughters. Ultimately, Dreeke and Brueski explore the challenge of determining justice when actions stem from a distorted perception of reality. ### Main Points - **Understanding Context**: The importance of understanding Ashley Benefield's mental state and context. - **Self-Defense Claim**: Examination of Benefield's self-defense claim against Doug Benefield. - **Past Trauma**: The impact of Doug's past behavior, such as shooting into the ceiling, on Ashley's fear. - **Behavior Analysis**: Contrast between Doug's stable behavior and Ashley's erratic actions. - **External Influences**: Potential influence of Ashley's upbringing on her reactions. - **Narrative Examination**: Scrutiny of Ashley's defense narrative, including her description of Doug's stance. - **Justice Considerations**: The challenge of determining justice given the impact on the families and distorted perceptions. ### Relevant Hashtags #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski #RobinDreeke #AshleyBenefield #DougBenefield #SelfDefense #BehaviorAnalysis Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Tony Brueski and Psychologist Dr. John Delatorre engaged in an in-depth discussion regarding the case of the Parkland School Resource Officer who failed to act during an active shooter situation. They scrutinized whether the officer's failure to protect the students warrants a lifetime imprisonment sentence. The conversation revolved around legal, ethical, and psychological perspectives, examining both the duty of the officer and the profound consequences of his inaction. They underscored the importance of accountability in such critical roles, while also acknowledging the immense pressure and complexities of such situations.

Have you ever felt imprisoned by the thoughts in your mind, when your worst fear becomes reality? In this episode, I had the pleasure of connecting with my fellow Podfest fam and host of the Nightmare Success podcast, Brent Cassity to speak about breaking free of the prison of your mind. Brent and I were on a panel at Podfest called “Finding Freedom from Trauma” and aligned on the concept of feeling imprisoned by thoughts that can become addictive + self-sabotaging, we can't find our way out, much like being locked away without a key. Brent brings this fresh perspective having served himself 5 years at Leavenworth prison. He shares glowing insight of how to channel this freedom mindset and achieve what he calls “nightmare success” despite your worst fears becoming reality. “Nothing is ever as bad as your mind makes it out to be” is one of his mantras towards achieving liberation to differentiate between having a “survivor vs “victim” mentality. He shares 5 powerful practices to rise from the depths of any darkness you are facing so you don't lose what makes you YOU amidst life's challenges. “Your rock bottom can be a new beginning.”  - Brent CassityAbout Brent: Brent Cassity is the author of the Book Nightmare Success: Loyalty, Betrayal, Life Behind Bars, Adapting, And Finally Breaking Free: A Memoir.

He has coined the phrase “Nightmare Success” because everything you want is on the other side of fear. How did the one thing that Brent most feared…the one thing he said would never happen to him…happen? Brent is an engaging storyteller that has a real-life transformational story.Brent describes his father as a larger-than-life character that he idolized. The Dad, living in the small rural town of Buffalo Missouri, became a D-1 basketball player, graduated number 1 in his law school class, and busted onto the legal scene winning televised cases. Then growing a business empire in his late 20's and early 30's. Brent wanted to be just like him. At 14 years old, Brent's Dad is indicted for tax and bank fraud and goes to prison for 6 months. Showing second chances are possible, he lands on his feet growing a company that was saved by putting the ownership in his wife and sons names. Brent joins the company 10 years later and moves to Texas and builds the fastest growing team in the company. His Dad, Doug Cassity, turns over the sales and marketing to the young 25-year-old, so he can pursue growing what he loves stocks and investments in the insurance company. Brent's brother Tyler enters the company, and the brothers set out to revolutionize the way people remember a life with their innovative lifestories that could be viewed on touchscreen consoles of their loved ones at the cemetery. Forever Enterprises is born and the brothers are seen as the innovative pioneers of the funeral industry unaccustomed to change. They buy several cemeteries, but none are as well-known as Hollywood Forever that was bought out of bankruptcy. The brothers begin receiving national attention, but smoke begins to rise over the hills from regulators with the Cassity's insurance company. Their Dad was known to push the limits into the gray area. Brent is asked by his Dad to be the voice and face of the company to go meet with regulators because his Dad is a convicted felon. A six-year investigation of the company ensued and 6 people were indicted including Brent and his Dad. Plea bargains were offered, and Brent was sentenced to 5 years and his dad to 10 years. Brent is using his experience to make a difference with people who may have lost hope or do not believe a second chance is possible. Brent speaks to audiences about his 5 survival tools that are strategies that are helping those who are stuck or are fearful to take the next step forward. His podcast Nightmare Success In and Out interviews people who have been to prison.

Growing up in Springfield, MO, there wasn't much that Brent Cassity could complain about; life was good. His dad was a bigger than life character that found success in everything he did, including owning multiple businesses. Brent wanted to be just like his old man. As he rounded out 8th grade, Brent was excited to embark on his high school journey and follow in his dad's footsteps. Then, a bombshell was dropped on Brent. His father informed Brent that he had gotten into some financial trouble and was looking at prison time. Not only would Brent's dad be pleading guilty and spending 6 months in prison, but the family had to move to St. Louis. Brent was devastated, and can remember thinking this is the one thing he wouldn't follow in his dad's footsteps.    Brent went on to do well in high school and college. He planned on becoming an attorney, but found that he couldn't pass the LSAT. His backup plan was to work at the one business his dad had left, which was in pre-arranged funerals. Brent's dad was all for the idea, and when Brent said he didn't want to be in his dad's shadow, he sent him to run their new Austin, TX location. Brent did great, and grew the region, before his brother ultimately came into the business. One day Brent's brother found a tape of their grandma 3 years after she had passed. The brothers realized that when someone famous dies, their highlight reel isn't far behind, and their memory is preserved. They decided this should be the case for everyone. So, they started a production company that specialized in honoring the dead. The business took off and they got a lot of press, including a documentary by HBO called The Young and The Dead.   Everything was going great, business was booming, Brent had a beautiful wife and 3 daughters, and lots of time was spent at their vacation home. Brent was on top of the world when he got blindsided. Their funeral business got into some trouble, and they found themselves in a criminal investigation. As the trial approached, Brent decided to throw in the towel and plead guilty. Facing 6 years in prison, Brent found himself alone, drinking, and thinking about how his family would be better off without him. Ready to end it all, something hit Brent, and he realized that wasn't the legacy he wanted to leave for his family. He decided to stop looking at himself as a victim, and instead, as a survivor. At the age of 47, Brent found himself following in his dad's footsteps.   As he entered prison, Brent found himself thinking that everything he knew, and everything he was, was behind him. He realized everything ahead of him was unknown. The thing that surprised him most about prison was the helpfulness of the other inmates. During his first phone call to his family, he confidently told them that he was going to be alright. He quickly found that the way he tackled certain things as a CEO, could also be beneficial in prison. There were 5 main things that he carried with him that helped him to survive prison. He calls them his survivor hacks.   The first of Brent's hacks was to not say a lot, but to look around a lot. He knew he had to humble himself and learn from the others around him on how to make it through successfully. Second, he knew he needed to have a passion to focus on, something that would keep him going when he felt otherwise stuck. His third hack was to write down a daily win, even on the days he had to look a lot harder to find one. Fourth, he was committed to learning from his mistakes. So many people are afraid of making mistakes, so they don't even try, but Brent knows your mistakes don't define you if you learn from them. Finally, Brent refused to give in or give up. He didn't want to become institutionalized, and so he decided to keep being himself, regardless of the circumstances.   Brent can recall many people losing themselves in prison. They lost sight of who they were outside of those 4 walls, and let prison become their new normal. It would get to a point where people would be months away from release and they would self-sabotage because they were afraid of the outside world. This phenomenon was also noted by a football player, Damon West, who went to prison for drugs and had a hard time adjusting. He went on to write a book called The Coffee Bean, about an antidote he was told in prison that helped him make it through. Prison was compared to a pot of boiling water, in which a carrot becomes soft, an egg becomes hard, but a coffee bean changes the water. The lesson was that you can't let prison make you soft or hard, instead you have to be the change regardless of the circumstances.   Since leaving prison, Brent has found success again, even writing the book Nightmare Success: Loyalty, Betrayal, Life Behind Bars, Adapting, and Finally Breaking Free. While promoting his book on podcasts, Brent got the idea to start his own. He interviews former inmates about life before, during, and after prison. Brent says the podcast, Nightmare Success In and Out, is about hope and overcoming. He hopes it will help people to see that prison can happen to anyone, and to not judge a book by its cover, because our past shouldn't dictate our future.    What You'll Learn: The similarities between surviving as a business CEO and prison inmate. The mindset difference between a survivor and a victim. The thing that surprised Brent most about prison. Why so many people return to prison and how, as a society, we can help change that.   Favorite Quote: “Nothing is ever as bad as your mind makes it out to be.” -Brent Cassity   Connect with Brent: BrentCassity.com Facebook Instagram YouTube   ______________________________________________________________________   How to Get Involved: Get podcasting help here.   For more on how to grow your business, check out this episode.    If you enjoyed this episode, head over and visit us on Apple Podcasts - leave a review and let us know what you thought!
