"He Stole My Identity!" Living with the Trauma of a Father's Criminal Enterprise
In this profoundly moving and unflinching interview, Zett Espinoza opens up about the profound trauma of growing up under the control of her father, the leader of a criminal organization built around the distribution of illegal pornography, brothels, exploitation and sex toys.
As a child, Zett and her brothers were kidnapped by their father, forced to change their identities, and hidden from the world to shield him from law enforcement. Within this shadowy existence, they were subjected to relentless manipulation, psychological torture, and physical abuse. Her father used fear and coercion to control their lives and even pressured them into aiding his illegal enterprises, robbing them of their innocence and freedom.
Zett speaks candidly about the emotional and psychological toll this harrowing experience took on her—revealing how the trauma of being raised in such a dark and exploitative environment impacted her sense of self and her ability to trust. Despite this, her story is one of resilience and hope as she recounts her journey to reclaim her identity, heal from the scars of the past, and rebuild her life on her terms.

In this episode of The Collier Landry Show, we dive into the psychological impact of banning TikTok and how it affects creators and audiences alike. Dr. Roger Rhoades shares insights into how platforms like TikTok provide not only a creative outlet but also a sense of community and identity. For many, the potential ban feels like a “rug pull,” threatening their livelihood and emotional well-being. Dr. Rhoades explains how the sudden loss of such a platform can lead to anxiety, loss of identity, and feelings of instability.

Luigi Mangione & Insurers Under Fire w/ Dr. Angel Iscovich
#luigimangione #insurance #unitedhealthcare #lafires #truecrime
Luigi Mangione Resurfaces As Symbol of Anger Against California Insurers.
In this episode of The Collier Landry Show, I sit down with Dr. Angel Iscovich, a renowned expert in human behavior and decision-making, to unpack a timely and controversial topic: the growing public anger toward insurance companies in the wake of disasters and corporate decisions that leave countless Americans vulnerable.
We delve into the online discussions surrounding Luigi Mangione. This name has surfaced in the context of the recent fires devastating Southern California and the startling murder of UnitedHealthcare's CEO, Brian Thompson, on December 4. Dr. Iscovich helps us explore why these events have sparked such a visceral reaction, with many viewing Mangione as a symbolic avenger against a system they perceive as broken.
Together, we examine the broader societal implications of these narratives, the psychology of public outrage, and what these events reveal about the state of trust (or lack thereof) in corporations. How does this collective anger reflect our values as a society? And what can we learn from it as we look to move forward?
