 How to Start a Cult (Please Don’t)

We’ve all seen cults in documentaries. Strange rituals. A leader with too many metaphors. People in matching shirts chanting about divine oneness and credit card payments. But what if the real warning signs weren’t robes or communes—but comfort? Certainty? A friend-of-a-friend’s “transformational retreat” that somehow costs five grand and your autonomy?

In this episode of 10 Minute Mystery, we’re breaking down how cults actually work—from the love bombing and isolation to the psychological trapdoors that keep people stuck. We’ll look at why cults are less about intelligence and more about timing, walk through the bizarre and disturbing case of Love Has Won, and unpack how these groups rebrand for the algorithm age. It’s not just about what makes a cult—it’s about how smart, self-aware people fall into them… and why getting out is so much harder than walking away.

No tin foil required. Just a healthy dose of “wait… is this a cult?”
