Hey, I'm Robert Blovins, and this is Life After Emile, a podcast where we worked and the stigma

of failure in an industry systemically designed for you to fail.

Join us as we dive into the real life stories of survivors, experts, and advocates,

as we debug the common myths and fallacies of cults, frauds, scams, and multi-level marketing. Oh, Oh, the the Hey, Humbots and Hunbroughs. We have an exciting episode for you today and an

exciting week that's coming up. Not only is today the Super Bowl and you know

ever since the Spanish family moved the chargers to Los Angeles I have been a

free agent fan and so when my girl has her boy in the big game, I'm just going to have

to say, go Taylor's boyfriend's team. Because, you know, I don't really care about football.

I'm sorry. I care about the snacks and the commercials and I'm excited for the usher show and I'm excited for just the overall fun of the game.

But not only do we have the Super Bowl, we have Valentine's Day coming up.

And so that's why I decided to publish this episode this week.

And we will also have a bonus episode on Valentine's Day, which happens to fall on a

Wednesday with some romance scam stories from not only

the internet, but from our listeners too.

This episode has been in the making for a while, specifically since Russ Nielsen reached out to me and said,

you have to talk to this person. The similarities are wild. And so I reached out and here we are. We are talking to Love Is Blind season 2 contestant Nick Thompson today about his time on the show, the connections to the Colty universe and what he is doing to change that.

It is a great episode.

I'm really excited for it and I hope you guys enjoy it as much as I did not only having the conversation but editing it back and

listening to it again.

I also want to say thank you to our newest Patreon members, Eliana Friedman, Curtis Waldron, and Sandy Rusk.

Your support is so important and I just want to say thank you so much

for spending some time with us over there.
