Multi-level marketing (MLM) supplement companies are facing a massive double-threat: the rise of GLP-1 weight loss medications like Ozempic and an existential trust crisis caused by Generative AI. In this episode, I'm breaking down the secret playbooks legacy giants like Herbalife, Amway, and USANA are using to survive, along with how smaller brands can fight back.For decades, MLM wellness CPG brands held a massive competitive advantage over traditional e-commerce: a trusted, authentic human conversation. That high-touch connection historically justified premium pricing for ordinary products. But as distributors increasingly turn to "synthetic social selling," using AI to auto-generate direct messages, social captions, and check-ins, consumers are detecting the algorithmic insincerity, causing trust to collapse. This is happening right as GLP-1s force a massive shift toward clinical-grade companion supplements for lean muscle preservation and gut health. If untrained reps use generic AI to pitch medical advice, it creates a regulatory minefield with the FTC.So, I'll analyze the corporate infrastructure plays trying to solve this problem:Herbalife's Aggressive Pivot: The strategic rationale behind acquiring Pro2col, Link BioSciences, and Bioniq to build a predictive health ecosystem and turn reps into data-backed "wellness coaches".Amway's Personalization Moat: How Amway Korea is leveraging over 110,000 cases in their "my LAB" microbiome database and "my WellnessLab" algorithm.USANA's Business Intelligence: Using automated dashboards to track real-time customer data.Challenger Survival Guide: How mid-tier MLMs can use B2B ecosystems like TSI Group's Tailored Script platform to achieve true N-of-1 precision granule personalization through an asset-light model without financial suicide.The ultimate future of direct selling doesn't belong to the brand that automates the most relationships, it belongs to the company that turns AI inward, while fiercely protecting the messy, empathetic, human conversations on the ground.

Multi-level marketing was invented to sell vitamins. Not adjacent to vitamins, not eventually pivoted to vitamins: the first MLM in America was a 1945 alfalfa-pill company that got raided by the FDA within two years, and everything since (Amway, Herbalife, the friend from high school who wants you to try a shake) is running the same play. In this episode, Zoë and Kylee trace how diet culture and direct selling grew up as one machine: the Nutrilite origin story, why supplements are the perfect MLM product, Herbalife's unmarked nutrition clubs and the mystery of why the shake tastes better in the store than at home, the billionaire slap fight that ended in a $200 million FTC settlement, and what the independent numbers say about who actually makes money (almost no one). Plus: Betsy DeVos's grandfather, the Tupperware party as feminist history, and why "boss babe" is doing unpaid PR for a system built to move money out of women's pockets.If you got pulled in, or watched someone you love get pulled in, the math was rigged before anyone signed up.

Mary Kay Ash turned a $5,000 investment into a cosmetics empire that promised generations of women financial independence, recognition, and—if they climbed high enough—that famous pink Cadillac. But.... behind the makeup parties and “girl power” sales pitch, DID Mary Kay create a revolutionary path to female empowerment? Or did she prey on her own sales force and help perfect the highly manipulative and exploitative multi-level marketing machine that would leave countless aspiring entrepreneurs buried in unsold inventory and broken promises?

The Smashi Business Show breaks down four transformative stories reshaping the Arab business world in real time. First, investment giant Blackstone defies geopolitical uncertainty with a $250 million commitment to UAE gaming infrastructure—a bold signal that major capital still sees the Middle East as a long-term opportunity despite the Iran conflict. Second, UAE fintech Alaan launches a stunning AED 3 million initiative supporting 1,000 SMEs, proving companies can lead with purpose while building ecosystem loyalty. Third, Saudi Arabia's Neom mega-project cancels a $5 billion dam contract, signaling a critical pivot in Vision 2030 as execution costs, supply chain chaos, and lower oil revenues force a reckoning on spending. Finally, personalized nutrition startup Bioniq—backed by Cristiano Ronaldo—gets acquired by Herbalife for up to $150 million, demonstrating how data-driven health tech scales globally. Host Abdul Majid Awan unpacks what these stories reveal about capital flows, SME resilience, government strategy, and the future of wellness innovation.  Newsletter: https://lnkd.in/dAkTDhJ6WhatsApp: aug.us/40FdYLUInstagram: aug.us/4ihltzQTiktok: aug.us/4lnV0D8Smashi Business Show (Mon-Friday): aug.us/3BTU2MY

En este episodio de Café en Mano, celebramos un hito gigante: ¡el lanzamiento oficial de Café Dos Caminos! (Pídelo ya con el password cafeenmano).Luego de darnos ese buen café, nos sentamos con Carlos Feliciano de CAF Investments para desmenuzar el caos económico actual. Arrancamos fuerte debatiendo la decisión de la Corte Suprema sobre los aranceles ilegales de Trump, por qué los famosos $2,000 de estímulo NO van a llegar, y el descarado insider trading de los políticos como Nancy Pelosi.Además, Carlos nos tira la toalla con la realidad local: revelamos cuáles son los promedios financieros reales de los puertorriqueños entre 30 y 33 años (salario, deudas, casas y crédito). Discutimos el mito de "invertir en cemento", la actual crisis y saturación de los Airbnb en la isla, y recordamos el caso de Tito Trinidad y Bernie Madoff para entender por qué las palabras "inversión" y "garantía" jamás deben ir juntas.Sigue a Carlos Feliciano:Instagram: @cafinvestmentsLink para tu cita: https://calendly.com/cafinvestments/15min Acuerdate poner que viste a Carlos en Café en Mano PodcastNuestro Café al fin: Cafedoscaminos.com pass: Cafeenmano¡No olvides suscribirte, darle like y dejarnos en los comentarios qué opinas de estos temas!⏱️ Capítulos / Timestamps00:00 - ¡Lanzamiento oficial de Café Dos Caminos! ☕02:45 - La Corte Suprema frena a Trump: Aranceles ilegales y caos en el mercado05:45 - ¿El gobierno te dará $1,000 para tu 401k?08:20 - Insider Trading: El escándalo de Nancy Pelosi y Wall Street14:20 - La cruda realidad: Olvídate de los $2,000 de estímulo15:30 - USA vs El Mundo: La economía está trancá y la inflación no cede20:00 - ¿Estás pelao'?

Cristiano Ronaldo Biography Flash a weekly Biography.Hey everyone, Tye Morgan here for Biography Flash. Quick thing before we dive in—I'm an AI host, which honestly works perfect for this gig because I can scour the internet at lightning speed and bring you the freshest Ronaldo updates without the bias. No ego, just facts and heart. Let's go.So this week has been absolutely wild for CR7, and I mean that in the best way possible. Yesterday, February twentieth, Cristiano dropped some massive news on Instagram that sent shockwaves through the business world. He invested seven point five million dollars for a ten percent ownership stake in HBL Pro2col Software, which is a Herbalife subsidiary that creates personalized wellness plans using your daily habits and nutrition tracking. Now here's the thing—Ronaldo's been a paid Herbalife spokesperson since two thousand thirteen, but this is his first actual equity stake in the company. He called it a new chapter, and the market responded immediately. Herbalife stock jumped over fifteen percent after the announcement. That's not just celebrity endorsement anymore—that's real money, real belief in the product.According to Herbalife's official statement, Ronaldo said investing in Pro2col felt like a natural evolution, that this platform could fundamentally change how people engage with their health and wellness. Coming from a forty-one-year-old athlete still chasing a thousand career goals, that carries weight.Speaking of his playing career, recent reports indicate Ronaldo has reached nine hundred sixty-two official career goals as of February fourteenth against Al-Fateh SC. We're talking about a living legend who's basically redefining what's possible at his age. The dude just missed some games at Al-Nassr due to what was described as a management dispute over transfer restrictions, but he's back in the squad now and facing pressure from Ivan Toney in the Golden Boot race.On the international stage, ESPN confirms that Ronaldo will lead Portugal's full-strength squad to Mexico on March twenty-eighth for World Cup prep matches. At forty-one, he's about to become the first player in history to compete in six World Cups. That's not just a number—that's immortality.Thanks so much for tuning in to Biography Flash.

From loss and reinvention to resilience and alignment, Blake explains why the messy middle is not something to escape, but the place where real growth and leadership are formed.

Conferencista: Cómo vencí a la muerte y cómo Herbalife cambió mi vida.

Send us a textWe are BACK with one of the most dense, finance-forward, darkly entertaining episodes of Industry YET. With a title that evokes the theme of "belongings", this episode is all about who belongs in which rooms, who belongs to whom when it comes to control, and what are our characters willing to sacrifice to ultimately get what they want.We see Eric and Harper's short-only hedge fund struggling to get enough investor buy-in to get off the ground. As Jim Dycker prepares to publish his allegations about Tender's murky payments business, the episode leans hard into the real risks of short-selling; being right doesn't matter unless you have timing, proof, and a story the market believes. We unpack the real history of infamous shorts gone awry with the Ackman/Icahn battle over Herbalife in a mini-history lesson you won't want to miss.But just as much as Harper wants money coming through the doors, she struggles to open up to Eric and Kwabena, both of whom seek closeness on a personal AND professional level. Will Harper ever be able to actually let anyone in? Perhaps Sweetpea, with her mutual love of ethically questionable investigations, is her only true soulmate.Meanwhile, Tender seeks to acquire an Austrian bank in order to backdoor a European banking license, and the C-suite is forced to confront a bad actor with fascist sympathies. Yasmin takes control of Henry, pushing him to weaponize his trauma, managing regulators through political and media pressure, and inserting herself into rooms where she clearly doesn't “belong.” In Vienna, what looks like a merger charm offensive veers into something darker, both for the company and Yasmin & Henry's marriage. This is where the title's meaning lands with a punch. In the world of Industry, money, morals, and people themselves have become possessions that can be claimed, traded, and taken away.Shop our Self Paced Courses: Investment Banking & Private Equity Fundamentals HEREFixed Income Sales & Trading HERE Wealthfront.com/wss.

I think by now, most of us have seen the "D.A.R.E. was a cop pyramid scheme" video (if not, it's linked below). I got tagged so many times I felt like I needed to at least look into it; I remember going through the D.A.R.E. program in 5th grade myself, so curiosity got the best of me. What I learned by dipping my toe in, looking for MLM and Pyramid Scheme connections, was way more than I ever expected.

Cristiano Ronaldo BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Cristiano Ronaldo once again grabbed headlines as he delivered a dramatic brace for Al-Nassr against Al Fayha in Riyadh on Saturday, helping his club retain the top spot in the Saudi Pro League table and maintain their unbeaten run in the 2025-26 season. The match seemed headed for disappointment after Al Fayha scored early, but Ronaldo clinically netted the equalizer in the 37th minute and sealed victory with a cool penalty deep into added time. The spectacle continued after the final whistle when the Portuguese legend treated fans to a joyful Ardah dance right on the pitch, a moment widely shared across social media platforms and featured by the official Saudi Pro League and sports sites globally.With these two goals, Ronaldo's professional tally soared to an astonishing 952, a number unmatched by any player in football history. Just last week, he had reached the unprecedented milestone of 950 goals – setting records not only as Al-Nassr's icon but also as the highest scorer in FIFA World Cup qualifiers. His next ambition, announced in multiple media interviews, is to crack the mythical 1,000-goal mark before ending his career.On the business front, Bloomberg and other financial outlets are reporting Ronaldo's net worth at a staggering 1.4 billion dollars, officially making him football's first billionaire according to the latest Bloomberg Billionaires Index. His Saudi contract now reportedly exceeds 400 million dollars a year, complemented by a portfolio of high-profile endorsements ranging from Nike's lifetime deal to multimillion-dollar partnerships with Armani, TAG Heuer, Binance, and Herbalife. Posts from his Instagram, which boasts over 600 million followers, are estimated to earn him 2 million dollars each, cementing his place as the highest-paid athlete online.The CR7 brand, visible across luxury clothing, fragrances, gyms, hotels, and various investment ventures, continues to expand. Digital sleuths have picked up rumors — still unconfirmed — of new CR7 fitness locations and possible additional Pestana CR7 hotels coming soon. Family life also remains a focus on social channels, with Georgina Rodriguez featured in joint lifestyle posts and international gossip columns crowning them a billion-dollar power couple, balancing football stardom and business savvy.Looking toward 2026, Ronaldo is set to captain Portugal in the FIFA World Cup's expanded edition across the U.S., Mexico, and Canada — arguably one last campaign to add another highlight to his storied career. On social media, fan accounts buzz daily with praise and speculation, from his goal chase and luxurious travels to his next entrepreneurial steps or possible involvement in football ownership and sports documentaries. For now, Ronaldo's continued ability to produce game-winning moments and remain culturally relevant only reinforces his legacy as a footballer and global icon.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

What if the same strategic thinking that shapes world history could transform how you handle your business disputes and protect your company's reputation? Jonathan Sherman, Partner and Vice Chair of Strategic Litigation at Sterlington Law, shares his journey from studying Cold War diplomatic history to becoming a nationally recognized commercial litigator. With over 30 years of experience, including work on the O.J. Simpson case and high-profile disputes involving Sony and Herbalife, Jonathan reveals how historical analysis has shaped his strategic approach to law and business. Key Takeaways ➤ Historical perspective enhances legal strategy. Major decisions are often practical rather than ideological, providing valuable insight for business litigation. ➤ Lawyers must function as strategic advisors. The best representation involves understanding your client's business context and helping navigate uncertainty. ➤ High-profile cases build valuable skills. Experience with media attention and public pressure develops crucial abilities for high-stakes business disputes. ➤ Listening trumps talking. Sherman's biggest career advice is to "shut up more" - intentional listening creates better outcomes than trying to impress with knowledge.➤ Legal profession is evolving rapidly. Modern law firms are adapting to remote work and building practices around individual expertise rather than just institutional brands. Notable Quotes"What made me want to become a lawyer was I wanted to find out how the world gets to be about big, sweeping ideas, when what happens on Wall Street every day are the same kinds of supply and demand and resource allocation questions that happen on Main Street every day." "The only interesting thing is what I do and what businessmen do is my job is to kind of look behind you... I can't use what I learn about you, which is privileged and protected... My job is to steer you in a direction where at least you understand the costs that your anger or your obsession may take you."

Today's guest is Josh Haddock, Director of Contact Center Technology at Herbalife. Herbalife is a global health and wellness company that develops and sells nutritional products, personal care items, and weight management solutions through a network of independent distributors. With operations in over 90 countries, Herbalife combines direct selling with a strong focus on community, personal coaching, and customer education. Josh joins the program to share how his team is redefining customer and distributor support in a highly relationship-driven business. Josh explains why adopting AI in the contact center starts with understanding the full journey—from digital engagement to live conversations—and why personalization is about more than just using someone's name. He also contrasts Herbalife's service model with his experience in financial services, where interactions are more transactional and easier to automate. The discussion highlights how Herbalife is leveraging AI for internal efficiencies like call summarization while carefully evaluating the risks and transparency challenges of deploying generative AI directly to distributors.

Journalist Bridget Read talks with Moira and Adrian about the most American of scams, the multi-level marketing (MLM) scheme. Companies like Amway, Mary Kay and Herbalife have had an outsize impact on American politics, and have been an insidious and at times covert part of the backlash against women's liberation, labor organizing and civil rights. This one has it all: eugenics, scammy Stanford-grads, and alfalfa. So much alfalfa. Bridget's book on the pyramid scheme, Little Bosses Everywhere, is on sale now and is absolutely fantastic!

Multi-level marketing businesses like Mary Kay, HerbaLife, and Amway are so ubiquitous, it's almost hard to imagine where they started or how deep their influence goes. In this special episode of Scamfluencers, Sarah Hagi talks with Bridget Read about her new book, Little Bosses Everywhere: How the Pyramid Scheme Shaped America. She spent years researching the origins of the “pyramid scheme,” a twist on the classic Ponzi scam, and she talks about who is most vulnerable to these massive, billion-dollar frauds, and why they've become unavoidable today.

Multilevel marketing – or MLM – first became popular in the period that followed World War II. Since then, millions have tried their luck as salespeople for companies like Amway, Mary Kay, Cutco and Herbalife. MLMs offer themselves as low-cost paths to entrepreneurship, but very few of their participants are able to earn a living wage. A new book Little Bosses Everywhere by Bridget Read traces the history and culture of the MLM industry. In today's episode, Read speaks with NPR's Ayesha Rascoe about why this business model flourishes in economic uncertainty, the unregulated nature of the industry, and the blurred lines between MLMs and pyramid schemes.To listen to Book of the Day sponsor-free and support NPR's book coverage, sign up for Book of the Day+ at plus.npr.org/bookofthedayLearn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

Enid is a retired teacher, currently teaching theater to young children, and she also works as a health coach. Enid shares her journey with intermittent fasting, which began when she discovered a health coach named Dr. Livingood, who introduced her to the health benefits of fasting. Inspired by his insights about autophagy, and encouraged by a nutritionist to work out on an empty stomach, Enid began fasting. However, it wasn't until she stumbled upon Gin's book, Fast Feast Repeat, that she realized she wasn't fasting clean, leading her to a deeper understanding and better implementation of the lifestyle.Enid discusses her struggles with diets in the past, detailing how she spent years trying various diets like Fit for Life, Herbalife, Weight Watchers, and different nutrition programs, only to find them restrictive and unsustainable. After beginning the clean fast on January 10, 2023, Enid noticed improvements in her well-being and recently celebrated two years in the lifestyle.Throughout the conversation, Enid emphasizes the transformation in her relationship with food. She highlights the joy of enjoying meals more thoroughly and describes how her tastes have naturally shifted towards healthier options, allowing herself to be more selective with what she eats. The episode also touches on her experiences with social expectations and perceptions about fasting, how she responds to skepticism from others, and the importance of understanding one's own body through personalized nutrition and fasting practices.Enid concludes by sharing her ultimate advice to those new to intermittent fasting: recognize the advantages of fasting beyond weight loss, particularly its healing potential. She advises newcomers to have patience, give their bodies time to adjust, focus on a clean fast, and believe in themselves. Emphasizing the freedom that comes with trusting one's own hunger signals and preferences, Enid advocates for a shift away from societal diet pressures and towards a more intuitive, satisfying eating experience.You can find Enid at embhealthcoach.com.Get Gin's books at: https://www.ginstephens.com/get-the-books.html.

In September of 2019, after gaining weight when she stopped a previous method that wasn't working for her any longer, she discovered Gin's podcast, started intermittent fasting, and read Gin's books Fast Feast Repeat and Delay, Don't Deny. Even though she had heard about IF from a friend who lost weight using the 5:2 approach, Natalie favored the daily eating window approach and found immense satisfaction and success, losing around 30 pounds in a year and experiencing various health benefits.Natalie's preferred routine typically involves a four-hour eating window, though she explains that she moves her eating window around as necessary with her schedule. The conversation weaves through Natalie's past struggles with body image and a tumultuous relationship with food that started in her teenage years. She describes how joining Herbalife in 2014 set her on a positive path of health and wellness, although it became stressful with time. Transitioning to intermittent fasting brought a more natural and liberating approach to weight management for her. Natalie talks about the positive changes she noticed, such as improved mental focus, reduced joint pain, and overall better well-being. Growing her own food in an allotment has helped her pivot to a diet rich in vegetables and real foods.In sharing her non-scale victories, Natalie highlights rapid hair growth, improved dental health, and increased confidence. Her parting advice to newcomers is to embrace black coffee, exercise kindness towards oneself, and understand that intermittent fasting is a lifelong journey filled with seasons of change. Every day is a new opportunity to start fresh and find one's sweet spot in this sustainable lifestyle.Get Gin's books at: https://www.ginstephens.com/get-the-books.html. Good news!
