This week we had the fascinating Andy Wingrave join me on the show. Andy has traveled across the globe immersing himself in different communities, from religious groups to mindfulness circles and even groups that blur the line between connection and control.

Here’s what we talked about in this episode:

• Andy’s global experiences joining different groups and movements
• The spectrum between healthy communities and controlling organizations
• Why he uses the word “cult” in ways that might feel unconventional
• How religion, governments, and social groups can all reflect cult-like dynamics
• The importance of questioning beliefs and definitions
• Respectfully handling controversial ideas and conversations
• The value of being challenged by perspectives outside the mainstream

Andy’s insights push us to think critically about the groups we are part of and the leaders we follow. Tune in for a thought-provoking discussion that might just reshape how you see community, belief, and belonging.
