My name is Mark Vissente.

I'm a director, producer, writer, and troublemaker.

I'm not totally certain if the trouble finds me or I find it.

I'm most known as the director of the film What the Bleep Do We Know?

And as one of the Nixium whistleblowers featured in the HBO series, The Vow.

Let's just say I know a thing or two about cults.

I don't consider myself a cult expert, but I'm definitely an expert in being screwed over,

waking up, and knowing how to spot them.

And let me tell you, they're everywhere.

As you'll hear, I have a pretty salty approach to most things, and I'm utterly fascinated by the patterns in human behavior that create the best and the worst in society.

I'm part geek, part rebel, and pissed off about a whole bunch of things.

Join me as I unpack a whole range of topics to do with psychology, spirituality, consciousness,

morality, cults, narcissistic abuse, science, filmmaking, and philosophy.

You never quite know what you're going to get,

as it really does depend on what the fuck is on my mind.

Hello there.

Welcome to my debrief of episode three of The Vow Part 2 or season 2.

A quick piece of housekeeping, two quick pieces of housekeeping. First, spoiler alert,

if you have not seen this episode yet, please see the episode before you listen to me.

I will ruin a bunch of things for you. And speaking of the way I just said ruin,

there are some people on social media

that are giving me shit about the way I mispronounciate words.
