Matthew Phifer discusses the intersection of cults and marketing. He highlights three elements of cult-like behavior: charismatic leadership, indoctrination, and the ability to make people feel like nothing is their fault. He shares his journey from therapy to media and how he noticed the manipulative tactics used by some coaches and creators. Matthew emphasizes the importance of finding a balance between using the elements that build a community and avoiding manipulative behavior. He also discusses the role of vulnerability and relatability in building trust with an audience.
