Summary

Join us as we talk with Mike Rinder about his new book "A Billion Years: My Escape From a Life in the Highest Ranks of Scientology". Mike has an incredibly unique perspective being Scientology’s international spokesperson and head of Special Affairs focused on silencing & destroying those critical of scientology. Mike also spent an extensive amount of time alongside David Miscavige who's ruled this "Religion" with an iron fist over the last decade. We hope you all enjoy this incredible conversation about what it's like to break out of the mental prison of a destructive cult.
