Bob Gower is a writer, coach and consultant who, during a vulnerable period of his life, attended a workshop on communication. Welcomed with open arms and adoration, Bob found himself in what he refers to as a 'sex cult'. In this episode we discuss toxic charisma, the driving force behind most cults, as well as how to not let it fool you.
