In this second King Hero interview with former Canadian police officer Achille Currado, we go deeper into the systemic and cultural corruption embedded within policing—not as theory, but as lived reality.

As a survivor of systemic corruption and a long-term institutional con that ultimately ended his career in law enforcement, Achille returns to share hard-earned wisdom from inside the system.

This conversation moves beyond exposure into pattern recognition, discernment, and practical awareness.

In this interview, Achille will explore:

• How systemic corruption becomes normalized culture
• How long-term institutional cons are built and maintained
• The psychological and social mechanics of trust-based deception
• Why people often miss the warning signs—not from naivety, but alignment with partial truths
• How to recognize the early indicators of a con sooner
• Practical guidance for navigating police encounters if and when they occur

This is not a conversation driven by outrage or sensationalism—it’s grounded, sober, and rooted in lived experience.

Achille brings the rare perspective of someone who:

• Worked inside the system
• Believed in the mission
• Saw the machinery clearly
• And ultimately paid the cost of not complying with corruption

His insights offer a powerful lens into how institutions drift, how good people become trapped inside broken systems, and how discernment becomes a form of self-protection.

About Achille Currado

Born and raised in London, Ontario, Achille began his career as a youth worker in a maximum-security facility for young offenders, where he worked for seven years. Driven by a desire to serve his community, he joined the London Police Service in 1998.

Over nearly two decades, he worked as:

• A patrol officer
• In recruiting and training
• Within the detective office as a crime analyst
• In Intelligence
• As a report auditor

These roles gave him a rare, multi-layered perspective on how policing operates from the inside—across culture, hierarchy, power structures, and accountability systems.

This interview is a continuation of an essential conversation about power, perception, integrity, and institutional reality.

A bit about me if we're just meeting...

I’m Beth Martens—founder of the House of Free Will, pattern hunter, archetype reader, podcaster, author, coach trainer, and business coach. My calling has truly been a life-or-death matter. After a decade as a corporate VP in my family’s firm, eight transformative trips to India, and a three-year battle with cancer nearly 25 years ago, I turned to archetypes and deep deprogramming work to save my life.

Despite doing everything wrong based on limited health knowledge, I accessed the hidden inner roots of what was keeping me sick, stuck, and unconscious. Letting those patterns go changed everything. I went from dying to living almost overnight.

Today, I help people who love truth more than their beliefs—people who want to serve with their life’s work and walk their Hero’s Journey—to deprogram the beast system from within and stop unconsciously feeding the forces that harm us.

I host the King Hero interview series, where I spotlight leaders, entrepreneurs, movement makers, and lovers of freedom who are carving new paths in a world that desperately needs them. And I also share my own voice, insights, and stories through my new solo podcast, Beth of Fresh Air.
