Named by the Financial Times as “The World’s Most Elite Sober Coach”, Tony Dominguez is a FiA Certified Interventionist and Hypnotherapist. Tony’s fifteen years as a Recovery Coach and Sober Companion have yielded remarkable results. Working predominantly with HNWIs in the entertainment and business arena, it has been Tony’s privilege to help individuals reclaim their lives: from hopeless to high-functioning, from estrangement to reunited with family and friends, from rejected to respected members of their communities. Dealing with alcoholism and addiction requires caution, tangible skills, and extensive experience. Tony’s personal journey fuels his strong passion for offering those still struggling a second chance at life in recovery. With firsthand knowledge of the courage required to ask for help, Tony meets his clients where they are, entering their lives with compassion, unconditional understanding, and a complete lack of judgment.

Trust is paramount. Tony upholds the highest ethical standards of confidentiality and discretion at all stages of his work with clients, from live-in recovery support and coaching, liaising with doctors and treatment specialists, and facilitating private detoxes to managing medication protocols and assisting with daily scheduling and engagements.

A critical component of Tony’s work with clients focuses on restoration. Tony’s expertise includes supporting a successful home reintegration process, facilitating family and business relations dialogue, and managing safe travel and transportation arrangements.

A member of the National Guild of Hypnotists Association (NGH), Tony received his Hypnotherapist Certification through the ISO 9001 Internationally recognised curriculum at the OMNI Hypnosis Centre and is a Certified Drug and Alcohol Interventionist.

About Brian's New Novel, The Body Brokers, Releasing on Dec. 3, 2024:

"When his girlfriend dies of a drug overdose, lawyer Jason Feldman goes undercover to ground zero of the fentanyl epidemic to prove she was murdered.

Lawyer Jason Feldman finds his girlfriend, Emily, dead of a fentanyl overdose. She was the best thing that happened to him since being forced to rebuild his life, struggling to stay sober after being falsely accused of murder, and being suspended from the practice of law.

When the police write Emily’s murder off as accidental, Jason and Emily’s roommate, Delaney, begin their own investigation. Together, Jason and Delaney uncover a dangerous secret that endangers not only their lives, but the lives of those around them. Their journey catapults them into the corrupt addiction treatment centers that will go to any lengths to keep them from learning the truth.

Their only chance of survival lies in Doc, a former physician, who holds the key to Emily’s past and Jason’s future. Will they be able to uncover the truth and expose the powers that be?"

Carlos Watson Interviewed on the Nightmare Success Podcast with Brent Cassity. https://conta.cc/3B17pKY Nightmare Success Show Notes: "Carlos Watson: The Visionary Entrepreneur Railroaded by Injustice. On this episode of Nightmare Success with Brent Cassity, we explore the shocking and deeply troubling story of Carlos Watson—a pioneering Silicon Valley entrepreneur who built OZY Media from the ground up, transforming it into a near-billion-dollar powerhouse.

But in 2019, everything changed. When Watson refused to sell OZY to East Coast competitor Ben Smith (formerly of BuzzFeed)—not once, but five times—the trouble began. By 2021, as Watson prepared for a pre-IPO round, he was smeared in the press, and over the last two years, he faced a stunning indictment and conviction in Brooklyn—despite having no ties to the borough.

Disturbingly, the judge in his case, Eric Komitee, had millions of dollars invested in entities tied to Watson’s adversaries but never disclosed these conflicts.Award-winning filmmakers Candice Conley and Brenae Perkins have captured this unsettling saga in 'The Troubling Case of Carlos Watson: Whose Son Is Next?'. Duke Professor David Robinson has also analyzed the case in 'Conflict, Bias, and the Railroading of Carlos Watson.'

Join us as Carlos Watson shares his incredible journey, the fight against a deeply conflicted judicial process, and what lies ahead in his battle for truth. This is a story of resilience, injustice, and the ongoing struggle for fairness that you won’t want to miss..."

Presented by our White Collar Support Group. More info on our website, prisonist.org.

For those of you who missed our White Collar Conference 2024 on Sat., Oct. 19th, the videos are now up on on our YouTube channel. It was the first-ever conference by and for people prosecuted for white collar crimes and their families, friends, colleagues, clients and anyone in need. I just watched the whole conference and it absolutely blew me away! Again!

The theme of the conference was “Starting Over: Out of Isolation and Into Community”. It is divided into four videos (the opening keynote/fireside chat and then three incredible panels) plus a mini-video on Reputation Management.

Below is the link to Video #4, "Careers and Reintegrating Into Society". The panel was moderated by Jeff Grant, with Panelists Kaysia Earley, Jeffrey Abramowitz, and Jeff Wertkin. Each have unique perspectives of the difficulties they have overcome to have successful and meaningful careers after their criminal justice involvement. They each offer solutions and specific take-ways to navigate both business and non-profit job searches, responding to questions, landing jobs, and keeping them. Vital information for everyone in our community.

I hope you will join in and watch the entire White Collar Conference 2024 for all of the heartfelt stories, thoughtful advice, and life-changing takeaways. And please leave your thoughts and comments, they are most welcome and appreciated.
