Ever wonder how brands like Apple, Red Bull, or even Celestial Seasonings Tea have customers that basically evangelize their products? Like... they're not just customers—they're full-blown disciples. Well, friend, I've got the tea (and it's not just herbal).In today's episode, I'm sharing what I learned from a high-level business mentorship conversation about how companies intentionally model themselves after “cult brands.” We're breaking down what makes a brand cult-like (in the best way possible), and how YOU can infuse these characteristics into your business—no matter your size.I studied this so YOU don't have to spend months digging through corporate case studies. I'm distilling data from companies like Snapple, Rolling Rock, Pete's Coffee, and more to show what small business owners like us can actually do to foster that same die-hard loyalty.No, you don't need a billion-dollar ad budget. You just need intention, clarity, and the guts to be bold in your branding.We're not out here trying to be everyone's cup of tea. We're building something magnetic that resonates so deeply, people proudly wear it (literally or figuratively) on their sleeve.So if you want your audience to become voluntary advocates—cheering you on, sharing your work, and staying loyal for life—this episode is for you.Let's build that cult energy... minus the creepy robes.

Send us a textIn the 2000's, there was not a band in Central Kentucky that had quite the cult following as Hooker.  Nearly non stop from 2002 until 2010, Hooker was doing gigs all over to packed houses... opening for the likes of Jason Aldean, Blake Shelton and other who's who of mainstream country music.  The boys mostly from Hodgenville literally grew up with a generation of young folks just like them having their songs sung back to them by packed houses of star struck crowds.   And now, Hooker has recently released their songs on all music platforms and are back to doing shows thanks primarily to a mutual friend -- TJ Downs.  Like the Jake Owen song "I was Jack (you were Diane)", Hooker is now having their fans going back in time!  This episode is perfect timing as Kyle Williamson, Hurley, and Doc sat down with the Bo Brothers to talk about old times and what's in store for Hooker - which we are happy to say includes an August 1st performance in Lebanon during the Lebanon Tourism's Summer Concert Series!  This power packed episode of 2 Shots will take you back to the Hooker Days and have you for sure chomping at the bit for what is bound to be a humongous concert later this Summer!  Also, we had Good Buddies Ray Osborne stop by and say hello which was perfect as Ray was who had the idea of getting Hooker on 2 Shots! Get ya glass of your favorite bourbon and take a ride back memory lane with Hooker!https://www.facebook.com/groups/288170582570690 Bourbon Podcast Bo Brothers

When we hear the world "cult" our minds often create an image of gullible people who lack the intelligence to understand they're being manipulated by someone who is not what they seem. Yet, the evidence suggests that this isn't the case, organistations change, purposes are hidden and often the truth is altered in such a way that often it is only when they reach their conclusions that the followers realise just what is going on. Joining me to look at psychology and history of cults and their leaders is JW Ocker and we look at Jim Jones, Marshall Applewhite, NXVIM and more in our conversation.

This week on the Anglotopia Podcast, we interview author and podcaster Tom Salinsky and explore his new book Red Dwarf: Discovering the TV Series, a deep dive into the beloved British sci-fi sitcom Red Dwarf. Tom discusses his inspiration for the book, covering every episode, and how the BBC's skepticism of sci-fi made Red Dwarf an underdog that grew into a cult classic. The interview touches on the show's humor, its influence on British TV, and the challenges of chronicling decades of content, from broadcast to remastered versions. Join us for a fun discussion about British TV comedy and science fiction. Links Red Dwarf: Discovering the TV Series: Volume I: 1988-1993 Red Dwarf on BritBox Tom Salinsky The Best Pick Movie Podcast Takeaways Origins of Red Dwarf: The BBC was hesitant about a sci-fi sitcom, but Red Dwarf emerged due to a quirk in budget allocation, allowing it to become a cult hit despite early obstacles. Unique Format: The series capitalized on the British sitcom format, combining science fiction with the traditional "two men who hate each other but can't leave" dynamic, popular in shows like Porridge. Character Chemistry: The show's enduring appeal lies in the chemistry between the characters, especially Lister and Rimmer, whose opposing personalities anchor the narrative. Cultural Legacy: Red Dwarf influenced later sci-fi comedies, despite the BBC's general disdain for the genre. Its longevity and ability to adapt over decades have cemented its place in British television history. Behind-the-Scenes Insights: Tom's research uncovered original ratings, unbroadcast scenes, and unused scripts that reveal new aspects of the show's creation. Sound Bites On Red Dwarf's Origins: “Red Dwarf almost didn't happen—it snuck past the BBC's deep suspicion of science fiction, thanks to a bizarre quirk in their accounting.” On the Show's Characters: “You've got two losers—one content with his lot, one frustrated and hating himself—and that dynamic has kept the show fresh through 70 episodes.” On Revisiting Every Episode: “For the first episode, I watched the broadcast version, remastered version, DVD extras, and multiple commentaries… I think I know that episode pretty well by now.” On the Show's Longevity: “The consistency of the cast is one of the things that's kept Red Dwarf going. It's amazing to see how stable the chemistry has been after all these years.” On British vs. American Comedy: “In America, sitcoms tend to start with a problem and end with a resolution. In Britain, sitcoms often begin with an aspiration and end with dashed hopes.” Chapters 00:00 Introduction to Red Dwarf and Its Cultural Impact 02:45 The Journey of Writing the Book 05:48 The Backstory of Red Dwarf's Creation 08:48 The Evolution of Red Dwarf's Popularity 11:32 Behind the Scenes: Fun Facts and Mishaps 14:27 Challenges in Analyzing Red Dwarf 17:29 The Cult Following of Red Dwarf 20:36 Red Dwarf's Longevity and Comparison to Other Sitcoms 23:32 Character Dynamics: Rimmer and Lister 26:17 Humor and Storytelling in Red Dwarf vs. Star Trek 29:14 Expectations for Future Red Dwarf Episodes 32:16 Tom Salinsky's Future Projects 35:03 The International Appeal of British TV 38:06 The American Remake of Red Dwarf 41:04 Recommendations for Other British Comedies Video Version https://youtu.be/_-_AZ7CEnAI

Sound Bites On Red Dwarf's Origins: “Red Dwarf almost didn't happen—it snuck past the BBC's deep suspicion of science fiction, thanks to a bizarre quirk in their accounting.” On the Show's Characters: “You've got two losers—one content with his lot, one frustrated and hating himself—and that dynamic has kept the show fresh through 70 episodes.” On Revisiting Every Episode: “For the first episode, I watched the broadcast version, remastered version, DVD extras, and multiple commentaries… I think I know that episode pretty well by now.” On the Show's Longevity: “The consistency of the cast is one of the things that's kept Red Dwarf going. It's amazing to see how stable the chemistry has been after all these years.” On British vs. American Comedy: “In America, sitcoms tend to start with a problem and end with a resolution. In Britain, sitcoms often begin with an aspiration and end with dashed hopes.” Chapters 00:00 Introduction to Red Dwarf and Its Cultural Impact 02:45 The Journey of Writing the Book 05:48 The Backstory of Red Dwarf’s Creation 08:48 The Evolution of Red Dwarf’s Popularity 11:32 Behind the Scenes: Fun Facts and Mishaps 14:27 Challenges in Analyzing Red Dwarf 17:29 The Cult Following of Red Dwarf 20:36 Red Dwarf’s Longevity and Comparison to Other Sitcoms 23:32 Character Dynamics: Rimmer and Lister 26:17 Humor and Storytelling in Red Dwarf vs. Star Trek 29:14 Expectations for Future Red Dwarf Episodes 32:16 Tom Salinsky’s Future Projects 35:03 The International Appeal of British TV 38:06 The American Remake of Red Dwarf 41:04 Recommendations for Other British Comedies Video Version

You probably haven't heard of this cult, known as Congregation for the Light or just "the Light," but we guarantee you won't forget it. Allegations include various physical and financial abuses, control over home decor (must include official cult symbols), and a belief in being reincarnated beings from Atlantis.

The Rocketeer is a 1991 film set in the late 1930s that follows the story of Cliff Seacord, a stunt pilot who becomes a superhero known as the Rocketeer. The movie was initially released as a Disney film but later changed to Touchstone due to its uncertain target audience. The film has pacing issues and struggled to find its audience, but has gained a cult following in recent years. The cast includes Billy Campbell as Cliff, Jennifer Connelly as Jenny, and Timothy Dalton as the villain Neville Sinclair. The movie draws on real rumors and Hollywood history, incorporating elements like Howard Hughes and Errol Flynn. It also features nods to Betty Page and the Zeppelin. Overall, The Rocketeer is a nostalgic and visually appealing film that blends adventure, romance, and superhero elements. The conversation covers various topics including the iconic Ennis House, the difference between steampunk and diesel punk and production rumors. Meredith and Greg also discuss alternate universe shows and the potential revival of The Rocketeer franchise. 00:00 - Introduction and Childhood Memories 09:26 - Setting and Historical Context 15:06 - The Unpredictability of Success in the Film Industry 18:23 - Real Rumors and Hollywood History in The Rocketeer 25:32 - The Cult Following and Legacy of The Rocketeer 27:41 - The Iconic Ennis House and Its Film References 30:00 - The Fascination with Zeppelins 35:32 - Steampunk vs. Diesel Punk 51:39 - The Battle to Keep The Rocketeer's Helmet 53:57 - The Potential Revival of The Rocketeer Franchise Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode of "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," psychologist Dr. John Delatorre examines the intense polarization surrounding the Karen Read case and how it reflects a broader societal issue. The conversation delves into the factors that have driven people to passionately align with one side, despite Karen Read being relatively unknown before the trial. Dr. Delatorre attributes this to a larger problem of growing societal division over the past decade, fueled by misinformation, distrust, and the rise of AI-generated content. He discusses how these elements have blurred the lines between truth and fiction, making it difficult for people to discern reality. The episode highlights how individuals often retreat into ideological silos, where they are more susceptible to manipulation by those who capitalize on their emotions. The discussion also touches on the dangers of AI in shaping public perception, especially in an era where distinguishing between real and fabricated content is increasingly challenging. Dr. Delatorre emphasizes that the true danger lies not in the tools themselves but in those who wield them for nefarious purposes. ### Main Points - The Karen Read case has sparked intense polarization, which is symptomatic of a larger societal issue. - The rise of misinformation, distrust, and AI-generated content has blurred the lines between truth and fiction. - People are increasingly retreating into ideological silos, making them more vulnerable to manipulation. - The difficulty in discerning reality from AI-generated content poses significant challenges to public perception. - The conversation highlights the role of emotional manipulation in driving societal division. - Dr. Delatorre stresses that the true danger is not the AI tools themselves, but how they are used by those with harmful intentions. - The episode underscores the importance of critical thinking and resisting the urge to accept information at face value. ### Hashtags #KarenRead #JohnDelatorre #Misinformation #AIDangers #SocietalDivision #EmotionalManipulation #Polarization Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

“We didn't care about cleaning products. We didn't set out to sell soap,” says Kelly Love. She, her best friend Allison Evans, and Allison's aunt Marilee Nelson, co-founded Branch Basics with a different mission in mind. “We believed there was a need for truly safe products, and we knew we had built a platform to share this crucial information,” they explain. Their goal was not just to sell soap but to transform lives through Branch Basics.In this episode, they join Lindsay Pinchuk to discuss their journey from near closure to a $40 million revenue DTC business, driven by a mission to educate and empower people to live healthier lives. They share their experiences with harmful chemicals, which led them to create toxin-free, sustainable products and prioritize transparency and quality. Despite major setbacks, their commitment to their mission and community support fueled their success.Allison, Kelly, and Marilee's story is a testament to the impact of living authentically and creating products that truly make a difference in people's lives.Quotes“Our products have always been a vehicle for educating and creating a community, which is why we've sold direct to consumer for several years. We really want to have that community relationship.” (10:01 | Allison Evans)“Human health is our number one goal. We put human health above everything, but efficacy is right behind it.” (32:28 | Allison Evans)“Know your strengths. Know that when your pie is bigger, your piece is smaller, but you'd rather have a smaller piece of a bigger pie. People who hold on too tightly to their equity and pride, refusing to admit when they need help, are making one of the biggest mistakes.” (38:55 | Allison Evans) “Test and learn. Just start doing whatever your idea is. Start on a small scale with a minimum viable product. Don't worry about proving scalability before you even prove the concept. Get as much feedback as you can in those early days and don't hold yourself back, either from perfection or from thinking, ‘How am I going to scale this and reach everyone?'” (45:42 | Kelly Love) Connect with Allison Evans and Kelly Love:https://www.instagram.com/branchbasics/Grab Lindsay's JumpStart Your Business Blueprint from last week's episode:https://lindsaypinchuk.myflodesk.com/11stepsforbusinessGrab Lindsay's Reels Cheat Sheet + Social Media Challenge.

 n the podcast "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott discusses the fervent support for Karen Read among some of her followers, despite contradictory evidence. The conversation highlights how the defense is attempting to create reasonable doubt by suggesting Colin Albert as a potential culprit in the death of John O'Keefe. The defense's argument is based on a photograph showing injuries to Albert's knuckles weeks after the incident, though another photo taken shortly after the incident shows no such injuries. Scott and Brueski discuss the cult-like behavior of some Read supporters, who disregard facts and latch onto conspiracy theories. They also critique the Massachusetts State Police for not thoroughly investigating all individuals present at the scene, despite Albert's lack of a violent history. The discussion underscores the challenges of distinguishing between emotional and rational thinking in such high-profile cases. Main Points - The defense is trying to implicate Colin Albert in John O'Keefe's death based on a photograph showing injuries to his knuckles weeks after the incident. - Another photo taken shortly after the incident shows no such injuries, casting doubt on the defense's narrative. - Supporters of Karen Read exhibit cult-like behavior, disregarding evidence and embracing conspiracy theories. - The Massachusetts State Police are criticized for not thoroughly investigating all individuals present at the scene. - Scott and Brueski find the evidence against Albert unconvincing, noting his lack of a violent history. - The discussion highlights the difficulty of maintaining rational thinking amid emotional and high-profile cases. - The defense's strategy aims to create reasonable doubt but risks damaging Albert's reputation without substantial evidence. #KarenRead #JohnOKeefe #ColinAlbert #IntoxicatedWitnesses #CultMentality #TrialAnalysis #HiddenKillersWithTonyBrueski Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?
