This week on The Global Show with Dave Benson, we revisit and upgrade Episode 29 with filmmaker, producer, podcast host and mental health coordinator Celine Beth Olsen.

This conversation felt too important to leave behind in the old format. When it first came out, the show still carried more of the comedy led opening style. Since then, The Global Show has grown into a more serious podcast focused on honest, thoughtful and meaningful conversations. This rerelease gives the episode the space and tone it deserves.

Celine Beth Olsen has worked across true crime storytelling, documentary production and major networks including Max, Investigation Discovery, Oxygen, ABC and CBS. In this conversation, she talks about her journey into true crime, her work around Ted Bundy, the ethics of documentary making, her podcast True Crime and Hollywood, and the emotional impact that these stories can have on survivors, families, actors, producers and crews.

We also discuss the emerging role of mental health coordinators in film, television and documentary work, and why trauma informed care matters when telling stories based on real people’s pain.

This is not just a conversation about true crime. It is a conversation about responsibility, storytelling, media narratives, survivors, mental health and what happens behind the scenes when entertainment is built around trauma.

Diane Sismour joins The Global Show with Dave Benson to talk about a lifetime of storytelling, writing from the age of 12, building characters from real life, and the creative journey that led her into screenwriting.

In this conversation, Diane shares how writing helped her through major life changes, how she balanced creativity while raising a family and running businesses, and why she often wrote late at night when the world was quiet.

We also dive into her latest project, The Doll Keeper, a dark psychological thriller built around missing girls, a disturbing doll collection, and an antagonist who does not see herself as the villain. Diane explains the spark behind the story, the slow burn thriller style, the award recognition the project has already received, and the plans to grow it into something much bigger.

Most creators and entrepreneurs underestimate how much their own stories and fears shape their success or their failure.

In this episode, Remy Blumenfeld shares the defining lessons from a life that spans television, entrepreneurship, and personal transformation. From building groundbreaking TV formats to surviving a life threatening illness and kidney transplant, Remy reveals how those experiences reshaped the way he leads, creates, and coaches.

We explore how early ambitions in storytelling led him to push cultural boundaries in television and the cost that came with it. Remy breaks down the critical difference between attachment and commitment, and why letting go of ego can unlock real creative freedom.

This conversation goes deeper than career success. It is about understanding the psychology behind decision making, the stories we tell ourselves, and how those stories can either limit or elevate us.

We also dive into:

• Why defining your niche is essential for creative founders
• The biggest business mistakes Remy made and what they taught him
• How high performers actually unlock growth and clarity
• Why most people misunderstand what success really is

Remy now works with founders, executives, and creatives across the world, helping them build lives and businesses rooted in purpose, not pressure.

We also explore his latest venture, Coacher.ai, where he is using AI to make high level coaching more accessible than ever.

This is not just a conversation about media or business.
It is about resilience, identity, and what it really takes to build something meaningful in a rapidly changing world.

If you are a founder, creator, or someone trying to figure out your next move, this episode will stay with you.

A short while ago, I sat down with former FBI agent Brian Grohoski, who spent over 20 years working some of the most confronting cases imaginable.

In this episode, we go deeper into one of the hardest topics to talk about… human trafficking.

This is not the version you see in movies.
It is not always violent.
It is not always obvious.

More often than not, it starts with trust.

We unpack what human trafficking actually is, how people are targeted, and the psychological control that keeps victims trapped. From grooming and manipulation to isolation and dependency, this conversation exposes the reality behind modern day slavery.

As a father, this one hit differently.

We also talk about what to look for. The subtle changes in behaviour, the warning signs, and how to approach it if something does not feel right.

This is an uncomfortable conversation.
But it is one that matters.

If it helps even one person recognise the signs or protect someone they love, then it is worth it.

What does it really take to create a successful independent film?

In this episode of The Global Show, actor and filmmaker Tom Paolino joins me to talk about the journey behind his film "One of the Good Ones", now available on Amazon Prime.

We talk about what it actually takes to build an indie film from the ground up.
The culture on set.
Balancing humour with serious storytelling.
And the reality of bringing a film to life outside the major studio system.

If you are interested in filmmaking, storytelling, or the creative process behind independent movies, this conversation is well worth your time.
