You’ve seen them: those niche corners of the internet that feel like home, or sometimes like a trap. Last week, we exposed how subcultures quietly influence society. Now, we're digging deeper into what separates the toxic from the transformative.

We'll discuss:

• How healthy subcultures are built on value (not control)
• Red flags to watch for when a community starts to feel...off
• Real stories from the host’s personal experience in Amway and actress Bethany Joy Lenz’s stunning escape from a cult (read her book "Dinner for Vampires: Life on a Cult TV Show (While also in an Actual Cult)
• Why digital “tribes” shape how we buy, behave, and even believe
• How to build a thriving, safe, and value-led subculture of your own

If you're an online creator, coach, entrepreneur (or just culture-curious) this episode will give you the clarity (and the chills) you didn’t know you needed. Get ready for honest truths, insider insights, and empowering advice you can actually use.
