Hello and welcome to Diary of a Private Investigator with me, your host, Nathan Hoole of Dolos Investigations.

This month, we'll be discussing everything from how AI will affect the private investigation industry, answering some listener questions and of course, moan of the month is back!

AI is obviously continuing to grow at an incredible pace, I've been pondering the implications or use cases within the world of private investigation, from AI generated evidence in imagery and video to tools and softwares that may have a beneficial impact.

One of the incidents recently, is that concerning Grok. The AI tool that allows users to create imagery and other content. The latest, is that it's been used to create nude photos of people that are fully clothed in the source material without their consent. Worrying.

I also talk about my pricing structure and hourly rate, something that isn't spoken about too much in this industry but transparency is absolutely key so stay tuned to hear all about how I operate and how I charge.

Hello and welcome to Diary of a Private Investigator, I’m your host Nathan Hoole of Dolos Investigations and this week I’m joined by Jacqeline.

Jacqeline joins me on this episode to tell her story about what started as a wonderful relationship which gradually turned into one of the most horrific ordeals of her life.

After meeting online, the red flags began to appear but her partner’s deception and manipulation went undetected, as usually is the case with situations like this.

We discuss intricate details of the relationship, from BDSM to damning lies about his family and private life, Jacqeline has endured a lot but has come out the other side as she starts to rebuild her life and rediscover her confidence.

We also discuss the impact the private investigation had on this case as Jacqeline is actually a client of mine, I helped her throughout the investigation to finally get her the answers she deserved.

Hello and welcome to another episode of Diary of a Private Investigator with me your host, Nathan Hoole of Dolos Investigations.

It seems like only yesterday that I had Charlotte on the show but it was months ago!

During this episode, we dive into how since our last chat, she was recruited by C4's Hunted and what is was like actually being on the show!

It was a fantastic chat, full of insight into how it all works behind the scenes and how her life has been since the show as a private investigator.

We talk about how she got recruited, the interview process, the rules applied when the cameras stop rolling and so much more in this detailed look at how the show operates to create a truly awesome series.

Firstly, apologies that it’s been a while since the last episode but it’s been a very busy last few weeks!

I’ve got a few stories and thoughts to share with you this month, starting with my recent trip abroad for a surveillance job which saw us hanging around a hotel lobby to enable a track and follow…

I also talk about how important it is to have a legend in preparation for if you ever get questioned on the job as to why you’re there!

A video recently surfaced of an arrest made by PC Lorne Castle, questions have been raised concerning his conduct and an investigation shortly followed which led the his dismissal. I explain my thoughts and feelings about it all as a PI and ex-cop so tune in, it’s a golden!

Hello and welcome to another episode of the ‘Diary of a Private Investigator’ podcast, with me you host, Nathan Hoole.

I’m the founder and lead investigator of Dolos Investigations based in Sheffield, UK and I started this podcast to share my stories, thoughts and experiences from the world of private investigation, from people tracing to cheating partners.

This month, I received a question from a listener asking for any thoughts I had around process serving/bailiff work as they’re just applying for their certification. I dive into a few of my experiences and thoughts on what it a commonly misunderstood job.

I also share some stories around people tracing and the positives (and risk) that sometimes comes with it. People tracing has its highs and lows just like anything else, when you’ve managed to complete the job and make a positive impact on someone’s life then that’s a top result! Sometimes though, you need a little due diligence to not only protect yourself but your client and possibly the person being traced.

Aside from the usual PI stories, I also share my moan of the month so make sure you stay tuned until the end of the episode!

Hello and welcome to the ‘Diary of a Private Investigator, with me you host, Nathan Hoole of Dolos Investigations.

This week, I’m joined by the talented Charlotte Tollan of Ceres Mesotron in London.

Charlotte has an incredible story, from her early beginnings in show business to venturing into the world of private investigation and surveillance. She’s also experienced first hand abusive control and manipulation by an ex partner which has driven her to hone her skills in the PI world and become the strong powerhouse that she is today.

After listening to episode six where I spoke about coercive behaviour, Charlotte reached out and started to regale her personal story and experiences. From compiling a mound of her own evidence to having to force police to take her phone for investigation, to escaping what was in all honesty, a toxic relationship, Charlotte is now headed into becoming an investigative journalist.

Co-director of the Ceres Mesotron company in London, Charlotte is well on her way to becoming a true force to be reckoned with in the the world of PI.

Hello and welcome to Diary of a Private Investigator, join me your host, Natan Hoole of Dolos Investigations as I reflect on some recent jobs and my recent visit to a business expo...

Warning, this episode has its fair share of explicit language and northern grumpiness!

You'll hear about some past cases I've worked on this month including a DIY tracking case gone wrong in which the subject became surveillance aware, a weekend call demanding I visit a casino to observe the movements of a soon to be divorced partner and more.

I recently attended a business expo in my finest suit too! What an...interesting day that was. You'll be able to hear all about the countless pens I gave away and the conversations I had during the day in this episode.
