My name is Mark Vicente.

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.

Good morning, good afternoon, good evening, wherever you are.

This is going to be my debrief of episode six of the Vow season two.

Before I get stuck into the episode, though, there's a few things I wanted to chat about.

I got amazing messages from people saying, please take a break.

You know, you don't have to be doing this. And you're know, you don't have to be doing this.

And you're right. I don't have to be doing this. And I certainly appreciate those messages.

You know, I have this compulsion, and it's a compulsion. It's different than the compulsion I had,

you know, in 2017, 18, 19. The sort of I have to get everybody out. We have to do this.
