Women of Impact

Do you ever wonder if you’d know how to spot a dangerous man before it’s too late? Or feel like your intuition is screaming at you, but you just can’t put your finger on why? This episode is an absolute masterclass in reading people, protecting yourself, and never again missing the signs that could save your life. I’m joined by one of the world’s top experts in body language, interrogation, and deception detection, Gregory Hartley. He’s spent decades training military, law enforcement, and intelligence agencies, and now, he’s here to give US the tools to see what others miss.
We break down the infamous Scott Peterson case, why the man who murdered his wife fooled so many, and the real red flags that women too often overlook. Greg walks through the real signals of grief, shock, and deception (in the wild and in relationships), and gives me and all of you a crash course on how to spot liars, manipulators, and the body language tells that might literally save your life. Trust me, you’ll NEVER look at a first date,or a true crime story, the same way again.

In this episode, host Lisa Bilyeu is joined by ex-CIA spy Andrew Bustamante and renowned defense attorney Karen Conti for a riveting discussion on the complex interplay between power, money, and justice in high-profile cases. Focusing on Sean "Diddy" Combs, the panel unravels allegations of abuse, manipulation, and the concealed video evidence that has sparked intense debate.

Our guests delve into the mechanisms of reputational protection, the ethics and legality of selective video management by hotels, and the broader implications of federal investigations that could ripple through the entertainment and financial sectors.
