King Hero InterviewLive Monday, January 5 at 1 PM CST
Is corruption the exception… or the rule?
“People assume you fall for a con because you’re naïve.In reality, you fall because the con aligns with what you already know to be true.”
In this King Hero interview, I’m joined by Achille Currado, whose nearly 20 years in policing gave him a front-row seat to realities most people never see—and few are willing to talk about.
Long before corruption became a public talking point, Achille had already witnessed it firsthand.
During his career, he was exposed to:
He personally witnessed:
Over time, a clear pattern emerged:
“That context matters—because cons don’t start with lies.They start with truths.”
In this conversation, we explore how corruption sustains itself not through deception alone, but through alignment with partial truths, cultural conditioning, and unspoken agreements. We’ll look at how systems drift, how good people get caught inside them, and what it takes to see clearly once you’re already in.
This is a grounded, sobering, and deeply human conversation about power, perception, and the cost of integrity.
