On Writing a Book and Inspiring Others with ex-Scientologist couple Marc and Claire Headley

In Part Two of the two part episode, Marc and Claire discuss why they went the self-publishing route, on leaving a legacy, and serving a different Scientology community. Despite the risk of retribution, the Headleys chose to get their story out there at all costs. The first book of its kind that made it to print, the couple have since inspired others to write and publish their stories.
