River Donaghey grew up in a cult. Or at least that’s what some people called it. His parents called it a “personal-growth seminar group.” Its leader called it “one big happy family.” But there was a dark side to the world River grew up in. One he never heard about as a kid. In the 1970s and 80s, a self-help company called Lifespring took America by storm.

Ever wondered what it's like to walk the thin line between law enforcement and the criminal underworld? Join us for an eye-opening conversation with Billy the Liquor Guy, a retired senior investigator for New York State's Petroleum, Alcohol, and Tobacco Bureau (PATB). Billy takes us through his pulse-pounding career highlights, from purchasing bombs from white supremacists to posing as a hitman and uncovering dark networks of human trafficking and terrorism. His candid recounting of these dangerous missions showcases the intense world of undercover operations, where a single misstep could lead to life-or-death consequences.
In addition to thrilling tales of infiltration and high-stakes arrests, we explore the heavy emotional toll of Billy's undercover work, revealing his struggle with PTSD and the therapeutic journey that followed. Discover how writing his book "Under Too Long" became a path to healing, and how he navigated the complex task of revealing his true identity to a "girlfriend" who played a crucial role in his survival. This episode also sheds light on the often-overlooked significance of untaxed cigarettes in funding terrorist activities and the specialized expertise needed to detect counterfeit tobacco. Whether you're intrigued by law enforcement or the human spirit's resilience, Billy's story is a compelling testament to both.
