The core element of a cult that is worth following is obsession. The idea of obsession started resonating with people, leading to the formation of a community. The concept of the black flag as a symbol for the obsessed originated from a follower, which was later put to a vote among options like a pirate flag and a rabbit. The plain black flag won, symbolizing the obsession and resonating with the followers. Every cult, at its core, is like a lighthouse guiding its followers.
Zach Pogrob is an entrepreneur and writer.
In this conversation, we spoke about why every creator is starting a cult, the importance of living in your own world, how to find big ideas, identity change, and why Zach cried during a movie.
