February 10, 2022 Millionaire’s Club: “The World Was Gonna Open Up”
Arianna was a recent college graduate with dreams of one day opening her own marketing company. So when a LinkedIn opportunity for a social media marketing assistant fell into her lap, it felt too good to be true.

Soon, she would be brushing shoulders with millionaires, in hopes that some of their mojo would rub off. After all, she had big plans for her future and a self-made father to prove herself to.

But, you know what they say about things being too good to be true...

They usually are.

This brave, inspiring woman is here to share her very important story of what exactly happened when she got involved with this Nashville "Millionaire's Club."

February 03, 2022 Armstrongism: “Saving For the Feast”
A humble upbringing is an understatement for Dan McIntrye. Canada born and bred, Dan's cult journey took him from guitar god, to free desserts to cult escape, only to land him right in the arms of... another one?

A double survivor. A triple thriver. And one extremely nice guy. Damn, Canadians, you really are as kind as they say.

January 27, 2022 MLM LuLaRoe: “What’s your why?”
She's a hustler, baby. And she just wants you to know.
Roberta Blevins was taught to be a self-starter. Inspired by her self-made father, she knew that if you put your mind to it, anything can happen. And it's true. Anything can happen. But that's the problem with anything. Anything sometimes includes MLM's. Multi-level marketing (schemes).
This is a story of a dynamite go-getter and how she crawled her way into a box of fart leggings and eventually... crawled her way out.

January 20, 2022 Black Hebrew Israelites: “Cursed and Chosen”
Lauren's initial years of her life, for lack of a better word, were quite normal. Along with her five siblings, she lived a very comfortable life in Corona, CA. Then one day, her once atheist father found religion.

And that discovery took him on a journey to finding "the truth". A truth that would one day take the family all the way to Egypt.

January 12, 2022 Thou Shan’t Be Named: “Non-Church Church”
TITLE: Thou Shan't Be Named: "Non-Church Church"
Non-Denominational Christianity. Sounds innocent enough, and for many non-denominational churches, it is. But for others, the non-affiliation creates a dangerous pathway to a choose your own adventure "religion." For Shannon Payton, it was an adventure all right, but not one she necessarily would've chosen...if, of course, given the choice.

Shannon has lived more of her life inside the cult than out, but this social media comedian is just starting to scratch the surface of having her voice heard. A voice, of course, that wasn't allowed to be heard for most of her life.

And trust us, it's a voice worth hearing.
