Episode 13 - Axton Betz-Hamilton + Sandeep Kaur

Unscrupulous

Who can you trust if not your own family, right? WRONG! We are here to teach you to trust absolutely no one. Sleep with one eye open, be suspicious of absolutely everyone you come into contact with. Okay, maybe these aren't great lessons, but this week we bring you two tales of some deep deceit that will leave you unsure that you can ever really know anybody.
First Bec (they/them) introduces us to Axton Betz-Hamilton, whose life turns upside down when her entire family becomes victims of identity fraud when she is a young kid. But Axton, being the bad ass she is, dedicates her life to figuring out who did this to them and becomes an award winning professor in the meantime. Truly badass.
Next Adam (he/him) tells us the story of the Bombshell Bandit; a double entendre for a hot lady who threatened explosive results if her demands weren't met. Sandeep Kaur is another incredibly hardworking woman who is willing to do anything to keep up with the life she wants, unfortunately that leads to some questionable, dangerous, and at times illegal decisions.
