📺 ADDICTED TO CONTROL – HOW SOME POWERFUL MEN (AND WOMEN) USE SURVEILLANCE TO COPE WITH PARANOIA
Ever wondered how far people will go to stay in control?
Mike LaCorte knows. As one of the world’s most sought-after private investigators, he’s been hired by CEOs, billionaires, and elite families to uncover cheating, betrayal, fraud—and sometimes to feed an obsession with knowing everything.
In this eye-opening episode of Beyond the Boardroom, Aleksandra King dives into the secret world of surveillance addiction, elite paranoia, and the emotional cost of never trusting anyone. Mike reveals what really happens behind those closed doors: why the ultra-wealthy hire investigators not just to find truth—but to feel safe, powerful, and in control.
🔥 This Episode Isn’t About Spying. It’s About Power and the Fear of Losing It.
Aleksandra presses Mike on the dark side of his work: when clients can’t stop digging, when the line between protection and control blurs, and when the investigation becomes more about reassurance than evidence.
