If you're a practitioner that works outside of mainstream institutions, you might have had your work dismissed as a scam, a grift, or a cult — or if you've watched it happen to someone you respect — this episode is for you. 

I'm pulling back the curtain on what's actually going on when people throw those words around, and why the answer has almost nothing to do with logic or concern. 

I'm inviting you to think about who gets the benefit of the doubt in our culture, who doesn't, and why this matters more than ever for anyone doing work outside the mainstream.
