Summary

After making lots of Billy McFarland content on TikTok, Gina reached out to me with a story I had never heard before. After the disaster, Gina who was there to help fun the event, and her team of 40 employees were stranded on Great Exuma for way too long, without any insight or solid plan for getting home. From the Lord of the Flies style pandemonium, flaming mattresses, sharp rocks, dusty cheese sandwiches and guests black out drunk from pallets of tequila, not all of the story was told in the documentaries. With her eye witness accounts of what actually happened in those days leading up to and just after Fyre, I promise even the biggest Fyre coinsures with learn something they didn't know. *Bonus Ghost Story by Tyler Carpenter* Show Notes Billy McFarland Fyre Festival Fyre Leaves Guests Stranded Stranded in the Bahamas Out of MLM The BITE Model LAMLM Book Club MLM Dupes How can you help?
