In part two of our deep dive into the cult of Carbon Nation, Gabby and Dan peel back the final layers of Eligio Bishop, better known as Nature Boy.

This episode explores how Bishop used sex, spiritual jargon, and nudity as tools of control. From forced polygamy to digital exploitation, we break down how he manipulated naturist language to mask abuse and build a digital empire of suffering.

We also discuss how trauma, survival, and charisma collided to create a leader who blurred the lines between healing and harm. And why we can’t afford to ignore the intersections of race, power, and performative liberation in the world of ethical naturism.

We also go into our Weekly Vibe Check and thank our listeners for their feedback and support.

Content Warning: This episode discusses themes of sexual manipulation, emotional abuse, and cult behavior. Listener discretion is advised.
