  • Don’t make Richard Grannon your God

    Don’t turn to Richard Grannon like you did Kieth, no one has all the answers. The way you’re diferring to him is concerning sometimes, and he’s been on more and more lately. I encourage you to keep diversifying the people you’re talking to on the show and in general. I say all of this with love. I appreciate your show, it’s been very helpful. Stay curious ✌🏻

  • Mixed messages

    A strange experience, because while Mark's ex cult experience is undeniably valuable and he has a lot of insight, he comes across as if he's got a new sense of objectivity and it's both frustrating and fascinating to see him and the other host totally awed or duped by yet more narcissistic grifters (like Jordan Peterson, even when he critiques him). It really shows how easy it is, I guess.

  • Deep

    His take on our world of the many cults of personality and how to wake up is deep. It takes a very special person to over come a cult and to reveal himself, his damage, just to help others see how these play out in everyday life. It's Deep
