#24 Mind Control, Cults, & Hypnosis w/ David Barron aka Dantalion Jones
In this mind-bending episode, clinical hypnotist and author David Barron dives deep into hypnosis, NLP, influence, and identity transformation. From personal reinvention after heartbreak to writing under the alter ego “Dantalion Jones,” David shares unforgettable stories—including a Klingon-fueled confidence hack, helping a client rediscover her sex drive, and uncovering hidden memories of alien abductions. We explore the blurred lines between ethical persuasion and cult mind control, how everyone is susceptible to influence, and the practical tools anyone can use to take back control of their mind. If you’re fascinated by human behavior, this one’s a must-listen.
