EP 2 - The Storyteller: Narcissist's Playbook

Episode 2 - Narcissist's Playbook companion podcast delves into the genesis of the documentary and what led award-winning journalist Isla Traquair to investigate a serial predator and public figure. In this episode she interviews filmmaker and cult survivor Mark Vicente about his drive to understand Narcissistic Personality Disorder and how that became the inspiration for the documentary. He and his wife Bonnie were instrumental in the take down of the cult NXIVM and the jailing of cult leader Keith Raniere, as seen in The Vow on HBO. 

You'll hear about the bombshell revelation which almost derailed the documentary and how he and co-producers Scott Altamore and Lyn Lear found a way to turn a crisis into a blessing. The back story is essential for setting up the step-by-step journey to confront a predator.
