Strap in for an extraordinary revelation as former Scientology insiders Marc & Claire Headley, Mark Fisher, and Janis Gillman Grady join us to unravel the enigma that is the Church's leadership. Their stories transport us deep into the world of L. Ron Hubbard and David Miscavige, juxtaposing Hubbard's peculiar idiosyncrasies with Miscavige's unchecked indulgence. The preservation of Hubbard's quarters, a time capsule of his existence, contrasts starkly with Miscavige's taste for opulence, from his fleet of luxury vehicles to his custom bulletproof van. Through vivid recollections, our guests peel back the layers of secrecy to expose the inner workings of one of the most elusive organizations.Our conversation steers through the choppy waters of Scientology's past, navigating through tales of overboarding at sea and the eerie calm of Hubbard's living arrangements amidst public scrutiny. Claire Headley sheds light on the financial labyrinth that is the Religious Technology Center, giving us a glimpse of the golden handcuffs that lock the higher-ups in their gilded cages. Meanwhile, anecdotes about Miscavige's personal staff and their hyper-vigilant service paint a picture of a man whose authority is as much a construct of fear as it is of reverence.Closing the lid on this Pandora's box of eye-opening narratives, we probe the strategic maneuverings that propelled Miscavige to the pinnacle of power within Scientology. From his early setbacks to his final domination, his rise is a testament to the undercurrents of coercion and control within the organization. We leave no stone unturned, exposing the seismic cultural shifts from the era of Hubbard to the age of Miscavige. Join us for this unmissable episode, where the truth isn't just stranger than fiction—it's more harrowing.Support the showBFG Store - http://blownforgood-shop.fourthwall.com/Blown For Good on Audible - https://www.amazon.com/Blown-for-Good-Marc-Headley-audiobook/dp/B07GC6ZKGQ/ref=tmm_aud_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=Blown For Good Website: http://blownforgood.com/PODCAST INFO:Podcast website: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2131160/shareApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/blown-for-good-behind-the-iron-curtain-of-scientology/id1671284503 Spotify: ...

This is the department of scientology devoted to dealing with external facing matters, including media and public relations, legal and government relations, and dealing with the so-called enemies of scientology.In 2007 Rinder left scientology and has been very vocal about its workings and abuses. Rinder has done dozens of media interviews and appeared in HBO's Going Clear and the 3 seasons of Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath.
