    Undercover with the Drug Cartels: DEA Ops, Money Laundering and Almost Getting Killed — with Keith Bulfin

    What if you were forced to bank billions for the Mexican drug cartels while secretly working with the DEA? 🇲🇽💰 In this explosive two-part episode, Keith Bulfin shares how he went from running a boutique investment bank to becoming the financial architect for some of the world’s most dangerous cartels – all while secretly working with US authorities. 🕵️‍♂️ We dive into: How “creative banking” turned Keith into the cartels’ master money mover The morning federal agents showed up at his door – DEA, FBI, Mexican police and more 🚨 Being thrown into maximum-security prison to earn the cartels’ trust Setting up a covert bank in San Diego and moving millions across borders Walking into meetings where a single mistake meant execution on the spot Why cartels now run like global corporations, using AI, shell companies and real businesses 🧠 The mental strategies, preparation and emotional discipline that kept him alive Key takeaways for high-performers: Preparation beats panic: Keith planned every exit route and scenario mentally—up at 4am scouting meetings. Apply this to deals, negotiations, or crises. Trust no one fully: Cartels and agencies both had moles; triple-check alliances in business or partnerships. Inner calm under fire: Face fear head-on with self-talk and perspective ("Others have it worse") to stay rational when stakes are life-or-death. Read people ruthlessly: Use face recognition and gut instinct to scan rooms and navigate ruthless players—key for pitching, investing, or scaling. This is not a movie. It’s a real story of money laundering at scale, human trafficking, covert ops – and what it actually takes to survive when you can’t fully trust either the cartels or the agencies controlling the game. 🎯 If you’re obsessed with high-stakes decision-making, psychology under pressure and the dark underbelly of global finance, this conversation will stay with you for a long time. Hit play, and step inside a world you were never meant to see. 🎧🔥 BIO: Keith Bulfin is a former investment banker turned undercover operative for the DEA, FBI, and CIA, infiltrating Mexican drug cartels to expose money laundering networks. Imprisoned in Australia on trumped-up fraud charges to build cartel trust, he ran a covert San Diego bank, laundering millions while feeding intel to US agencies for over two decades. Today, he fights human trafficking, consults on financial crime, and shares survival tactics from high-stakes ops—planning, gut instinct, and mental resilience. Keen to learn more: Keith’s book tells the full story: 🎧🔥❤️‍🔥FULL EPISODE LISTEN HERE❤️‍🔥🔥🎧  https://linktr.ee/thekollectiveinstituteofideas 🎁 Listeners get 10% off using the code thekollective10 at audreyschocolates.co.uk 🛍️ Mentions:  Keith Bulfin, Arthur Lonsdale, Carlos Cabal, two South American/Mexican bankers, valuer, Colombian agent, female CIA/FBI agent, cancer survivor girl, young prisoner, triathlete girl, human trafficking informant, DEA, FBI, Mexican federal police, US federal police, US state police, US Department of Justice, CIA, SAS, 60 Minutes, Supreme Court, Australian prison system, Bank of America, JP Morgan Chase WANT MORE OR TO SUPPORT?👉 Become a patron and get exclusive access & behind-the-scenes perks:www.patreon.com/TheKollective828 💎

    Real Confidence, Beauty and Aging with Facial Aesthetics Expert Sheridan France

    What does it take to be confident? 🪞✨ We sit down with Sheridan France inside her stunning London clinic 🏛️🌸 — one of the most respected facial aesthetics practitioners in the UK, with over 20 years of experience and a client list she can't talk about (but you can Google her mentor). She's the woman people fly across London to see when they finally want it done right, and the woman who will very politely tell you that the treatment you came in for is not what you actually need. 💋 This isn't a conversation about fillers. It's a conversation about confidence, beauty as energy, the psychological weight of how we see ourselves — and why the most attractive people in any room are rarely the most symmetrical ones. 🩺 Sheridan France trained directly under Dr. Frederick Brandt — the celebrated New York dermatologist known as the Baron of Botox, who treated some of the biggest names in music and entertainment. ✨ Rated number one for lip filler in London, and a pioneer of the liquid facelift, Sheridan built her reputation on a single principle: you bring out what's already there — you never change the person. Her background spans nursing, midwifery, and a near-qualification in clinical psychology, which shows. She doesn't just see a face. She reads a room. We cover: 💋 Why confidence can't be injected — and what it actually comes from 🌍 What Italy and France understand about older women that Britain still doesn't 📱 Social media, the Kardashian era, and the quiet shift back towards natural 🎨 What it feels like to see a face the way an artist sees a canvas ⚠️ The unregulated filler market: what's being bought online, and why she won't touch another practitioner's work 🌟 Training with Dr. Frederick Brandt — the Rolling Stones, Damien Hirst's skull party, and the conversations she can't repeat 💉 The four pillars of anti-aging — and the one question no patient ever thinks to ask 🪞 Why overfilling is the industry's biggest problem, and what the patient-centred alternative actually looks like 🧘 Why your twenties are the most anxious decade, and why getting older is, genuinely, fabulous 🎁 Listeners get 10% off using the code thekollective10 at audreyschocolates.co.uk 🛍️ 🔥 Fireside Chat 🔥 💫 A few quirky things that give you joy: Walking. And watching her golden doodle's absolute refusal to acknowledge the new baby — despite golden doodles supposedly adoring children. 🧘 A mantra you want to embrace now: Accept yourself. Love yourself. Value what you've got now. 🎬 A favourite artist that isn't obvious: Maria Callas. 🧒 Something you wish you knew when you were younger: That everything changes. And everything will be all right. 🌍 Two things IN for you right now: The South of France. London — still fabulous, however much it changes. 🚫 Two things OUT: Trainers on women. She's wearing them today, but she wants her heels back — and she will be wearing them this summer. ❤️‍🔥 Loved this episode? ✨ Like, Share, and Subscribe to support bold, heart-led conversations.

    What does it really mean to welcome someone to your restaurant — and to do it every day for over four decades? 🍽️🤝 We sit down with Sally Clarke inside her iconic Notting Hill restaurant, Clarke's (London) 🏡✨ — a place now serving the grandchildren of its original customers 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦.

From sitting for Lucian Freud's last head and shoulder portrait 🎨🖌️, to the story of a proposal that had the whole dining room on its feet 💍👏, to why her 97-year-old mother's rosemary still appears on the menu 🌿💚 — this is a conversation about the hidden details, the joy and the pain of running a deeply personal restaurant, and what it means to truly break bread together 🍞🫶. 🍽️ Sally Clarke opened Clarke's in Notting Hill in 1984 — chef by day, maître d' by night 🌙 — and 41 years later she's still there, writing a new menu for every service 📋✍️. 🇫🇷🌞 Trained at the Cordon Bleu in Paris and shaped while getting to know Alice Waters at Chez Panisse in California, she built a restaurant rooted in seasonality 🌸🍁, simplicity and a deeply personal style of hospitality 💛. ✨ Clarke's is now an institution, complete with a shop across the road 🛍️, a team whose key members have been by her side for decades 🤝, and a loyal following that spans generations 👵👶. 🎧🔥❤️‍🔥FULL EPISODE LISTEN HERE❤️‍🔥🔥🎧  https://linktr.ee/thekollectiveinstituteofideas 🎁 Listeners get 10% off using the code thekollective10 at audreyschocolates.co.uk 🛍️ https://www.sallyclarke.com/restaurant/ 🔥 Fireside chat🔥:  💫 3 things that bring you joy: Music — particularly the human voice, good food, and hugs. 🧘 A mantra you want to embrace now: Stop looking at the news. 🍳 Someone says they eat eggs every day — How do you make them unboring? .

A bowl of something warm and nourishing — soup, a stew — served with a smile. Because it costs nothing to smile. 🌸 One thing that's IN for you right now: Hellebores on the table. Everything at Clarke's needs to be in season — including the flowers. 🚫 One thing that's OUT: Raspberries on a dessert in February.

    How Nature Heals People, Rainforests & Conservation — with Merlin Hanbury-Tenison

    How Nature Heals People, Rainforests & Conservation — with Merlin Hanbury-Tenison In this episode, we sit down with conservationist Merlin Hanbury-Tenison to explore how nature helps the nervous system reset, and why reconnecting isn’t a luxury… it’s a return to what we are. 🌍✨ Merlin shares his own experience of complex PTSD, and how modern urban/corporate life can intensify stress and disconnection — before explaining how nature-based environments can gently guide people back toward safety, regulation, and real restoration. 🌲🤍 We also journey into Britain’s rare Atlantic temperate rainforest — where soil ecosystems and fungal networks (the “wood wide web”) quietly hold entire worlds together. 🍄🌧️ And we zoom out: because restoring nature isn’t just personal, it’s systemic. Merlin breaks down what real change takes — science that feeds policy, research infrastructure, and new models for land, food systems, and even cities that integrate nature instead of pushing it out. 🌱🏙️ We cover: 🌿 Why the “humans vs nature” mindset causes harm (and how to shift it) 🧘 PTSD, burnout, stress — and how nature supports healing 🍄 Old-growth rainforests, resilience, and the “wood wide web” 📍 Restoration at scale: science → policy, land, farming, and cities 🔥 Practical ways to reconnect — starting now Cabilla Cornwall Retreats  Our Oaken Bones  Thousand Year Trust Research Station Merlin Hanbury-Tenison is a conservationist, author, and founder of the Thousand Year Trust, dedicated to restoring Britain’s rare Atlantic temperate rainforest. 🌳🌧️ After experiencing complex PTSD, he became a passionate advocate for nature as a powerful tool for mental health and nervous system healing. 🧠🌿 Through Cabilla Cornwall, he leads nature-based retreats supporting veterans, NHS staff, and others in reconnecting and recovering. 🤍🔥 His work bridges science, storytelling, and policy — inspiring people to see that we are part of nature, not separate from it. 🌍✨ Three things you get joy from:“My daughters 👧👧 … The rainforest at cabilla 🌳🌧️ … And writing ✍️.”  A mantra you want to embrace now:“Never doubt that a small number of committed and thoughtful citizens cannot create change in the world. In fact, it is the only thing that ever has… We all make an impact on the planet every day when we wake up. We choose whether that is a positive impact or a negative impact.” 🌍✨  One unusual thing that gives you pleasure:“My beavers 🦫 … there is nothing that gives me more pleasure than going down and sitting on the riverbank in the evening and watching the beavers busily building dams.” 🌊🌅  A favorite book, film, or artist that isn’t obvious:“Arnold Schwarzenegger 💪 … a brilliant guide for life.” 📖 🎧🔥❤️‍🔥FULL EPISODE LISTEN HERE❤️‍🔥🔥🎧  https://linktr.ee/thekollectiveinstituteofideas 🎁 Listeners get 10% off using the code thekollective10 at audreyschocolates.co.uk 🛍️ WANT MORE OR TO SUPPORT?👉 Become a patron and get exclusive access & behind-the-scenes perks:www.patreon.com/TheKollective828 💎 Mentions:  Margaret Mead, Jane Goodall, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Dr. Susan Simard, Henry Dimbleby, Gabe Brown, Boris Johnson, The Thousand Year Trust, Cabilla Cornwall, University of Exeter, University of Plymouth, Eden Project, University of Zurich, Loughborough University, Falmouth University, Woodland Trust, Ministry of Defence (MOD), Forestry Commission, National Trust, National Lottery Heritage Fund, People’s Postcode Lottery, UK Research and Innovation (UKRI), Royal Geographical Society, University of British Columbia
