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, Hanbats and Hanbrows, and happy October.

Oh my God, it's October already. Can you believe it? I freaking love this time of year. If you
