Special Edition: Fyre Festival

We talked about in Episode 0 and the time is now...to manifest...to find your power...be immersed...just kidding...you are just going to laugh and learn about our favorite con:

FYRE FESTIVAL!

It's a Fy-re! This is the true crime con that brought Heather and Vanessa together. The glue that bonded them. The F-Y-R-E that lit the conversations between the co-hosts that led to the birth of this podcast. The absolute baffling story of a con man who ran ponzi schemes, financial fraud, and lured influencers to an "island" to take their money. And somehow, Ja Rule is involved. It has it all, "the snowball that collected all the other cons ever done along the way that turned into Fyre Festival". Come join us as we start in the early days of the creator, Billy McFarland, to his incarceration.

We discuss the marketing, the money, and the psychology behind the con. It's a do not miss episode!
