Start Your Own Damn Cult: A Founder's Field Guide
Most founders chase growth. The great ones create gravity.
Organizations and movements scale because people believe in them. Belief creates gravity. Gravity builds movements. And movements, if we're honest, start to look a lot like cults.
What a loaded word: cult. We're taking it back. Not as a tool for control, hierarchy, or blind loyalty, but back to its roots: devotion, care, shared meaning. Cult, if you look deep
enough, is just culture with fewer syllables. The only difference is time and intention. Culture doesn't happen by accident. It is designed, embodied, and led by leaders who
refuse to separate what they believe from how they build.
This isn't so much a business book as a wake-up call wrapped in a field guide: audacious enough to challenge business as usual and clear enough to change it, created with equal parts bold imagination and unflinching moral clarity.
If you're looking for something sturdier than hustle culture, this book offers a path toward liberated leadership. Inside is a practical and actionable framework for building from coherence, holding power without unraveling, and winning without wrecking yourself, your team, or the planet.
Polish the mirror. Find the frequency. Catalyze the cult.
