    In this insightful episode of The Gabi Koyenov Podcast, I am joined by Calvin Wayman, an entrepreneur, comedian, and former member of a fundamentalist Mormon cult, who shares his transformative journey from faith to freedom. Calvin provides a deep understanding of cult dynamics, setting the stage with a historical context of Mormonism and moving into personal narratives that illuminate the powerful family dynamics and personal experiences that shaped his early life.

    As the discussion unfolds, Calvin recounts "The Crack"—the pivotal moment that seeded doubt and spurred his intense craving for personal freedom. Plato's allegory of the cave. This epiphany launched his entrepreneurial journey, marked by a significant move to California where new perspectives and questioning of religious beliefs took root. We delve into the sensitive topics of confronting racism within religious contexts and the courageous decision to ultimately leave his church, initiating a profound healing journey.

    The episode rounds out with Calvin discussing the unexpected role of comedy in his healing process and his final reflections on the journey. This episode offers a compelling look at the challenges and triumphs of questioning deeply held beliefs and the liberating path of forging one’s own identity and beliefs. Tune in to The Gabi Koyenov Podcast for a powerful exploration of faith, identity, and personal growth with Calvin Wayman.
