Meet Faith Jones: Activist, Attorney and Author
In spite of being the granddaughter of the infamous cult leader, David Berg, Faith Jones managed to escape the clutches of the sex cult she was born into and found healing and success as a lawyer, activist, entrepreneur, and business advisor.

Against all odds, Faith fought her way out, found healing, success, and a full life. Join us as we discuss how not to fall prey to cults, financial literacy and much more.
