This episode will tell the riveting story of Peter Young, who spent 20 years in a small religious cult before being rescued. Peter's story demonstrates the power of secrecy and how it can be used to protect vulnerable groups. He also discusses his recovery journey and how he found the courage to leave the cult and rebuild his life.
Peter is a talented storyteller and the bestselling author of "Stop The Tall Man, Save The Tiger," which details his escape from a religious cult. He is also the author of "The Blue Team," a novel about faith, basketball, and overcoming one's greatest fears.
Peter worked as a sports broadcaster for over 20 years before becoming a writer, covering the stories of great athletes from around the world for networks such as CBS, ESPN, and OLN. He is currently working on the sequel to "The Blue Team" while living in Bozeman, Montana with his children and pets. Listen in to hear his inspirational story and the life lessons he's learned along the way.
