After our last episode about Arieyl, you asked for a deeper dive into the company and more tea, so I answered! In her 15 years in MLM, Jennifer Mruk has seen and experienced some stuff, but nothing quite like her time in Arieyl. Now that she's out and AntiMLM, she is sharing her insider information, including questionable products, shady leadership and some very unchristian like behaviors from the founders.Show NotesLawsuit Filing - DropboxAmanda Brunson Throws Shader/antiMLM Arieyl Sues Ex-RockstarsArieyl Lawsuit FilesWhat you Should Know About Super PatchOut of MLM⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The BITE Model⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LAMLM Book Club⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠MLM Dupes⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠How can you help?⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠MLM Change⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Report Fraud⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Truth in Advertising⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Report to your state Attorney General's office!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Not in the U.S.?

I'm taking on CC Suarez's controversial commentary video on her faux debate with Eric Worre and debunking every single one of her points.If you've seen her anti-MLM rhetoric, it's time to get the real facts. I'm breaking down each of her arguments one by one and showing you exactly why network marketing is NOT a scam and how her position is completely misguided.

In Part 2 of my conversation with The AntiMLM Kid, we talk about the fallacy of the nonexistent "Level Playing Field", how MLMs explain Pyramid Scheme payment checks to their reps, get into the Double Speak of Amway, and give some valuable advice for when you find yourself in an awkward conversation about your shoes and income potential in the aisles of your closest Big Box Store.Show NotesFollow The AntiMLM Kid : TikTok | InstagramAmway "Date" Gets OwnedOut of MLMThe BITE ModelLAMLM Book ClubMLM DupesHow can you help?MLM ChangeReport FraudTruth in AdvertisingReport to your state Attorney General's office!Not in the U.S.?

Ever wonder what it's like to be raised by IBOs? To have every memory and influence rooted in Amway? In Part 1 of my chat with The AntiMLM Kid, we dive into what those early years looked like, how her parents met and how she was groomed into becoming an IBO herself.

When Julie signed up as a distributor for Arbonne, she found early success and rapidly rose to the top of the ranks. What she didn't expect was her faith, finances, self-worth, and diet culture to be entangled with her business. When doubts began to creep in about her ability to stay in leadership at Arbonne, all it took was one thread for an entire belief system to unravel.Thanks for listening.

Arbonne boasts that their products are vegan, non-GMO, and tout their B Corp certification as an extension of their clean ingredient mission.

How did multi-level marketing become a $186B industry? What does it mean to lose your identity and find it somewhere else? Are distributors who build teams of hundreds underneath them victims? Or are they villains?Maybe the answer to these questions is somewhere in the middle.  Who we are determines what motivates us, how we make decisions, and who we trust. This includes when someone we know or don't know tells us we can have everything we've ever wanted…by joining their network marketing company.I invite us to take a look under the hood to find that these companies and their representatives are much more complicated than they appear. Each episode, I try to answer the question, is this the opportunity of a lifetime? Or the illusion of one?Thanks for listening.

Lianne is a French Canadian living in New Brunswick who's been in more MLMs than she can keep track of. From a couple of solid US-based standards, to some exclusive Canadian brands even I had never heard of, Lianne paints us a picture of a young woman trying to find her place in the world with the limited resources available to her. Past abusive relationships, the uncertainty of Military life, and working emotional baggage made Lianne resilient and strong, so a couple of Pyramid Schemes aren't going to keep her down, just don't promise her a hat.Show Notes:In Memory of Jessie Lee Ward - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GeXPvj5ixZMNewborn Feathers - https://www.reddit.com/r/antiMLM/comments/bf10bz/mixed_mlm_messages_from_newborn_feathers/Dragon's Den CA - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragons%27_Den_(Canadian_TV_series)Tiber River - https://www.reddit.com/r/antiMLM/comments/knj9ml/no_why_are_you_an_mlm_curse_you_tiber_river/Tiber River Wrongful Termination Lawsuit - https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/tiber-river-naturals-wrongful-termination-lawsuit-pregnancy-1.5921770Out of MLM - https://outofmlm.info/Cultish by Amanda Montell - https://amzn.to/3Q7owx9Dr. Steven Hassan's BITE Model - https://freedomofmind.com/cult-mind-control/bite-model/Ponzinomics by Robert L.

In the last episode of their coverage on multi-level marketing companies, Allison and Beverly delve into the darkest of the dark side of these schemes, selecting several personal accounts found online as well as talking a little bit about one particularly gnarly company the Feds shut down back in the early seventies for deceptive trade practices, among other things: Holiday Magic. There might have been coffins and crucifixions involved.Finally, Allison delivers one final definitive statement about MLMs and their ties to a well known family annihilation case that not nearly enough people talk about.

The amount of messages I get from people asking me what they can do to help with AntiMLM awareness is humbling. I know so many feel compelled to share, educate and scream from the rooftops about these predatory scams, but feel lost in the space and not sure where they "fit". I first met Laurie through the AntiMLM space and along the way became friends. Although Laurie and I recorded this months ago, it's still a great reminder to those finding their place in this community of amazing people. I also just want to thank her again for all of the help with the Facebook group, along with the entire AdMod team.

He was an avid commenter and follower and over the years became a great friends in the fight against MLMs. Dave sends me a lot of the content we react to on YouTube, and is a wealth of information and has been an instrumental help with the FTC ANPR. But with all this time and effort in the movement, I've never heard Dave's story, which comes from a very ernst place of love and compassion. It's understandable how going through an experience like that could lead you to where Dave found himself. And thank goodness for Save, because he is a wealth of MLM history and information!Show NotesThe Dream Podcast - https://www.stitcher.com/show/the-dreamThe DSA - https://www.dsa.org/#beacauseofdeanne - https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/becauseofdeanne/DSSRC - https://bbbprograms.org/programs/all-programs/dssrcLAMLM The Show : Usana The Musical - https://youtu.be/hz30rPrRoM8Dr. Steven Hassan's BITE Model - https://freedomofmind.com/cult-mind-control/bite-model/Ponzinomics by Robert L.

Please use discretion.Have you been watching the Monat Dumpster Fire on social media? It's hard to miss if you're following enough AntiMLM content. It all started when Angelique Robles, a Managing Market Mentor had some questions and concerns about things she was seeing happening within the company. What followed can only be described as a shitshow that lead her to reaching out to the AntiMLM community for real answers. I get so many comments about talking to Reps who are still in, so I asked her if she would be willing to chat about her life IN MLM and she agreed! But what happens in the middle of our chat is SHOCKING and literally CANNOT BE MISSED. I never expected this in a million years!Show NotesMonat fires Angelique but keeps Angela and Mandie - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0XlIHT59W7ATerminated Market Partner Reacts to Secret Zoom Call About Her - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iBiM19YWcSwMONAT LEADER TERMINATED FOR SPEAKING OUT! - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5CoNi9J3XCs&t=2250sMONAT IS A CULT: FIRING REPS FOR WANTING CHANGE *DAMAGE CONTROL ZOOM CALL REACTION - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BrDL1RqTWuADr. Steven Hassan's BITE Model - https://freedomofmind.com/cult-mind-control/bite-model/Ponzinomics by Robert L.

I was excited to talk to Nicole about her content, her faith and what she sees as an AntiMLM Creator. We run the gamut from faith manipulation to breaking generational curses and I get on my hairstylist soapbox and we talk about Monat and "Luxury" hair products.Show NotesShare an ANONYMOUS story with Nicole to be featured on her IG! antimlmnicole@gmail.comFollow on IG! https://www.instagram.com/antimlmnicole/Follow on TikTok! https://www.tiktok.com/@antimlmnicoleSavannah Marie & Farmasi - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xyQvTZxedqgCrack the Crown YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/BluegrassBlingSavannah Marie & Paparazzi - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qh1Lk3bvrKsAn Overlapping Venn Diagram: Christianity and Multi-Level Marketing Schemes - https://www.patheos.com/blogs/rolltodisbelieve/2018/02/28/overlapping-venn-diagram-christianity-mlm/Dr. Steven Hassan's BITE Model - https://freedomofmind.com/cult-mind-control/bite-model/Ponzinomics by Robert L.
