Kicked out of Polygamist Cult After Years of Child Labor

In this video, Dan shares what it was like growing up in a fundamentalist polygamist cult. From child labor to getting kicked out of his own family at 16, his story is both horrible and redemptive. I love the messages he shared about grit, the importance of believing in yourself, and the will to survive and flourish no matter what.
