Hundreds of thousands of people walked out of Lifespring as true believers, convinced that the seminars had the power to change the world. ...

I’ve spent over 20 years studying the emotions and experiences that bring meaning and purpose to our lives, and if there’s one thing I’ve learned it’s this: we are hardwired for connection, and connecting requires courage, vulnerability, and conversation. I want this to be a podcast that’s real, unpolished, honest, and reflects both the magic and the messiness of what it means to be human. Episodes will include conversations with the people who are teaching me, challenging me, confusing me, ...

Join me this week as I uncover the chilling story of Ronald Clark O'Brien, infamously known as the Candyman, whose heinous act on Halloween night in 1974 cast a dark shadow over the holiday.
Dive into the haunting details of how a seemingly ordinary family man and church deacon from Deer Park, Texas, turned into a murderer, using potassium cyanide-laced pixie sticks as his weapon of choice. Discover how his sinister plot unfolded during a night of innocent trick-or-treating with his children and neighbors.
The investigation led by former county prosecutor Mike Hinton, revealed O'Brien's financial desperation and calculated plan to claim life insurance money by poisoning his son. Learn about the crucial clues that pointed to O'Brien's guilt, including suspicious questions about poison and failed attempts to purchase cyanide.
This episode highlights the tragic impact of O'Brien's actions on his family and community and the lingering fear it instilled in Halloween celebrations.
Stay safe this Halloween by being vigilant and cautious with your treats. The story of the Candyman is a sobering reminder of the potential dangers that can hide in plain sight.
