Alright, here's what happened. The meeting went on concerning the business topic for almost two hours, when he said something that allowed me to answer about scamatology, this being the first thing that I said about it "It's maybe one of the largest scams that is currently active that you know of." And it went on from there. It turns out that he was impressed with the people that he had met that were involved in the cult, which is myself and another business associate of mine, and someone that he knows that is a local fellow that's on OT7. He had actually watched "Going Clear" sometime ago, but he had a hard time reconciling that in the face of the people that he knew that were involved. He has also seen data on the internet, damning things he said, but that hadn't apparently stopped him from taking a course. I had to give him a cliff notes version of what the bubble is like from the inside. He let me know that he was never a fan of religion of any sort, and was a bit turned off by any of it. He did admit to having an interest of what was in it that was seemingly making people successful. We covered him as an example, because he could be considered quite a success, and where did he get that from? This is a short version of another hour or so that we spent talking about my experience, and how the choich operates. I have scheduled another visit with him for business this next week, but he knows that I want to discuss this more.
At any rate, he would like to see data that could help him with his business, and he believes there may be things that he could learn. He is not interested in anything else, is what he tells me. I actually believe him, but will not leave this to chance.
I think the one thing that this shows is even with the internet data available, if there are people appearing like the are receiving a benefit from it, it could still suck people in.
I guess I did ok, but I again could use help on that next meeting.
