The Robyn Engelson Podcast   Ever wish you had a wellness mentor with over decades of experience whispering million dollar health tips in your ear? That's exactly what you will get each week when you tune into The Robyn Engelson Podcast. I'm your host–a sought after autoimmune and wellness expert, corporate drop-out turned serial entrepreneur, and lifestyle transformer. Each week, I'll be bringing you inspiring guests, insights, and mindset tools to empower you to be energized, compress time, and start living instead of existing.    Episode Title: Feeling Burnt Out? Listen to This. [We've all been there. But don't admit it.] Host: Robyn Engelson Guest: Anna Gray Episode Summary: In this episode, I sit down with Anna Gray, a nurse, legal nurse consultant, and entrepreneur who took the leap from traditional nursing to running her own business. Anna shares her winding journey—starting in the operating room, stepping into management, leaving for entrepreneurship, and ultimately finding fulfillment through legal nurse consulting. She dives into the realities of burnout, the importance of finding joy in your work, and how social media became a powerful tool in her entrepreneurial success. If you've ever felt stuck in a career that no longer serves you or wondered how to pivot into something that lights you up, this episode is for you! You'll learn: Navigating Burnout and Career Transitions: Anna spent years in nursing, moving from surgical tech to OR nurse to management. Burnout hit hard due to high expectations, overwork, and a lack of fulfillment. She realized she was merely existing rather than thriving—prompting her to explore entrepreneurship. The Power of Joy and Alignment in Work: Joy is key to long-term fulfillment in any career. Burnout often stems from misalignment with personal values and goals. Anna found that her energy was best spent in a career where she had control over her time and impact. Transitioning to Entrepreneurship: Anna always had an entrepreneurial spirit but struggled to find the right fit. Legal Nurse Consulting became the perfect blend of her nursing experience and desire for business ownership. She emphasizes that entrepreneurship isn't for everyone, but for those who crave independence, it can be life-changing. Leveraging Social Media for Business Growth: Anna shares how she overcame the fear of putting herself out there. She built her brand by being authentic and showing up consistently. Social media is about connection, not just selling—Anna's success came from engaging, building relationships, and providing value. Memorable Quotes: “Don't overthink it—just be yourself. The right people will find you.” “Joy isn't a luxury; it's a necessity. If you're not feeling it in your work, something has to change.” “Energy flows where focus goes—align yourself with what truly lights you up.” Actionable Steps for Listeners: Identify what drains your energy vs. what fuels you—take an honest inventory. If you're stuck, ask yourself: Am I merely existing, or am I thriving? Explore entrepreneurship if you crave freedom and fulfillment, but understand the challenges. Use social media strategically—connect, engage, and show up as your authentic self.   Final Thought: Your career should energize, not drain you. If you're feeling stuck, it might be time to reimagine your path. Take one step today toward your more fulfilling career.   What listeners have to say: “Her energy is fire! I love being able to apply her simple strategies and life tips to my daily life to be energized instead of existing.”   Loved this episode?

In honor of the newest member to host Jane Marie's family, a little munchkin born over the weekend, this week we're revisiting Episode 2 of The Dream Season 1.Jane takes us back to her hometown, Owosso, MI as we get to know the town and people that helped shape her award winning career in journalism. Along the way, we also get a glimpse into her family's history with Multi Level Marketing. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Today's phone-in: are multi-level marketing schemes legitimate side hustles or a grift? Plus, reports of a St. Stephen woman's death were greatly exaggerated, and your feedback on yesterday's mining phone-in.

FULL EP HERE: https://www.patreon.com/c/slopquest Ryan hits a major roadblock with his 5’9 bit and he’s unable to salvage it. Andy takes issue with Ryan’s “it’s always been the same” history hot takes. Andy has to take muscle relaxers and it makes O’Neill definitely not relax. O’Neill then tries to sneak into a ski resort with Ari using a woman’s ski pass and a mask. Then they talk Multi Level Marketing schemes. Then Andy can’t stop looking at the news, sleep, or function. He goes to O’Neill for solid advice. Andy tries to trick his wife into thinking she sent him a fake text. Then Andy twerks for a t-shirt on Conan. Ryan tries to make Andy less gullible but it doesn’t take. The soundboard quits working on Andy and he has to do all the sound effects by hand. O’Neill shares his garlic secret. Aaron feels the repercussions of the air quality problems. Ryan calls out Erin Brockovich in a surprising turn of events. Then the boys talk drunk business. Then there’s a wild neighborhood update with Aaron. Ryan refuses to get off a private jet because it’s too comfortable. Then they talk about real life Indecent Proposals and haggle over prices.

These are 6 (at least) things that will make me NOT join a NM company.

"How is this legal?"That question has been haunting host Jane Marie since the day she started researching Multi Level Marketing seven years ago. Since then, it feels like every company, industry or product she looks into is a scam. Let's be clear, they often are.This week, she stares straight into the Ivy League Bro eyes of private equity, looking for an answer to that same simple question that's been pinballing around her brain for seven years.Comic, writer, podcaster (and more!) Meredith Lynch has been following private equity money for years and this week she and Jane will try to untangle the mess this shady industry has made of pretty much everything it's touched. It's coming for all of us. We might as well try to understand what the hell it is.Find Meredith at:https://www.meredithlynch.com/IG & TikTok: @meredithmlynch Hosted on Acast.

Wer schnell viel Geld verdienen will und sich auf Social Media herumtreibt, gehört zur Zielgruppe: Es sind Menschen wie Jan Munderloh, die junge Menschen für ihr Geschäftsmodell suchen. Ein Modell, das mehr Menschen arm macht als reich. Einblick in ein Geschäftsmodell am Rand der Legalität.

On the Monday before the Christmas holiday, USANA Health Sciences (which if you didn't know is a U.S. public company trading on the NYSE under the stock ticker USNA) announced its acquisition of an almost 79% controlling ownership stake in Hiya Health for a $205 million cash transaction…with contract features providing acquisition of the remaining equity at a pre-negotiated valuation scale. For the last twelve months ended September 30, 2024, Hiya Health generated net sales of $103 million and adjusted EBITDA of $22 million. That implies a transaction value of approximately 2.5x trailing twelve months revenue or almost 12x adjusted EBITDA…both of which are mostly in line with recent M&A transactions across the VMS industry. And though other founders love to obsess over those comparative metrics, regardless of where they landed, I'd imagine this is an amazing financial outcome for a company that was only founded four years ago…and raised in total a measly half-million dollars. But why would a multilevel marketing supplement company, that generates more than 80 percent of its annual revenue within the Asia Pacific region, acquire a direct-to-consumer (DTC) children's supplement brand focused on the U.S. market? And my latest first principles thinking content will explain the strategic rationale behind this M&A transaction including how the multilevel marketing business model appears to be falling flat for some companies after years of public scrutiny, regulatory pressures, and changing consumer tastes. Also, I'll examine several other value accretive investment opportunities that USANA has pursued to advance its long-term growth strategy. In December 2020, USANA made a strategic investment in the protein bar brand manufacturer Built Brands. Beyond receiving a minority equity stake (in a growing company), Built Brands' expertise was leveraged to accelerate the development, enhancement, and expansion USANA nutrition bars that were to be manufactured in its new foods plant. And then in November 2022, USANA acquired the protein bar brand Rise Bar. Additionally, in that same announcement…USANA acquired an emerging direct selling company (called Oola) that leverages a personal development framework to sell “mind and body” supplements. But for these companies dropping multilevel marketing…it's always important to remember that “grass isn't always greener on the other side.” But with the form of direct selling invented 80 years ago by Carl Rehnborg now becoming a tainted term of sorts today…I'd expect more of these MLM companies to add diversified layers of growth. Yet don't get it twisted…these moves are mostly targeted at slightly camouflaging the primary business model just long enough until multilevel marketing can be reframed (and transformed) into something more attractive to younger digitally native generations.

Network Marketing and Multilevel Marketing opportunities have made their way through the Christian wife circles for years. Estie and April share their experiences with you in this episode and ask some questions about these style companies. They discuss the negatives of seeing individuals as mere opportunities for profit and the importance of personal accountability.  As Christians, our interactions, be they online or face-to-face, must reflect our deeply held values. This conversation serves as a mirror, asking us to look closely at the reflection of our personal branding and to assess whether it truly aligns with who we are and who we aspire to be in Christ.

Emily Lynn Paulson is the founder of Sober Mom's Club. She joins Veronica to discuss her new book 'Hey Hun' and her role in predatory Multi-Level-Marketing. Emily explains how the MLM fuelled her drinking and nothing on the outside matched what was really going on. To learn more, visit the show notes.

MLM company scams are everywhere. So, just what is an MLM company? Better known as multi-level marketing companies, MLMs are businesses that involve selling products to family and friends while recruiting other people to do the same (think: Avon, Doterra, Arbonne, Rodan and Fields, and more). Except that only 1% of people who join an MLM company will actually turn a profit.Today, we're exploring the dark side of MLMs with Peabody and Emmy Award–winning journalist and author, Jane Marie. Jane Marie is the former producer of This American Life and most recently, Michelle Obama's “The Light” podcast. As host of The Dream podcast, Jane Marie joins us to chat about her debut book, Selling The Dream The Billion-Dollar Industry Bankrupting Americans, a must-read exposé on the deceptive truths behind MLMs.PS - Be sure to check out Jane Marie's latest podcast called “Finally a Show!” In this episode, you'll hear:Are MLMs actually pyramid schemes?

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.

When she joined Amway on an invitation from her coworker, Chrystal had no idea how much of her life would eventually be consumed by it.

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

Today's episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.  Just in case you're thinking about joining that incredible business opportunity selling a life changing product…don't give them your credit card info until you've listened to this A Little Bit Culty remix. We've put together a special Anti-MLM 101 Starter Kit episode with some of our favorite crusaders in the war on schemes, scams, and other internet flim-flams especially for you. Our upline on this one is pretty solid. We dug into our archives and Roberta Blevins came out swinging, so a segment from our Season 2 episode with the LuLa Rich fan fave is at the top of the batting list. She chats with us about the dangers of moldy leggings, #bossbabe energy, pricey sea cruises, other MLM tomfoolery. After Roberta, we move on to a clip from our more recent episode with Emily Lynn Paulson, an author and mother who believes that all MLMs—which form a $180 billion industry—are cults. Spoiler alert: We violently agree. And last but not least, we go all the way back to our Season 1 chat with Douglas Brooks, an attorney and MLM-buster with insights on what it takes to seek justice for people who've been screwed over. Take heart: When prosperity gospel grifters write big checks that their sneaky asses can't cash, there can be legal consequences. NOTES: Roberta Blevins was a Trainer with LuLaRoe, had a team of 75 women under her, and made over $65,000 in bonuses alone. But when she came to the conclusion that it was a rigged, losing game she didn't just leave the business: she testified in the Washington State vs. LuLaRoe Pyramid Scheme lawsuit as a witness for the state. Since leaving MLM, the fan favorite from the LuLaRich series has educated herself on the systemic structure of the business model, the psychological manipulation, the seedy underbelly and governmental ties, the cult indoctrination, and the history of Multi Level Marketing. She educates daily on TikTok, and podcasts in her "free time" on her own podcast, Life After MLM, which explores the dangers of Multi Level Marketing through the eyes of the victims and survivors. Her work has been featured on Amazon Prime Video, Vice Media, Bloomberg News, Split, and Business Insider among others. Learn more on her website or find her on Instagram @therealrobertablevins Emily Lynn Paulson is the author of Highlight Real: Finding Honesty and Recovery Beyond the Filtered Life, and Hey, Hun: Sales, Sisterhood, Supremacy, and the Other Lies Behind Multilevel Marketing. She has given two powerful TEDx talks, both challenging the status quo of parenting, alcohol use, and feminism as we know it. Paulson has also been featured in major publications such as the Today Show, New York Times, Washington Post, The Seattle Times, Chicago Tribune, Next Question with Katie Couric, and the Tamron Hall Show. She resides in Central Oregon with her husband and their five children.   Also…Let it be known far and wide, loud and clear that… The views and opinions expressed on A Little Bit Culty do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of the podcast.

I sit down with Roberta Blevins, a former successful MLMer, to discuss her time in that cult like world. She shares What an MLM is, the tactics used in an MLM to maintain rank, and how the structure encourages bad behavior. Plus we discuss why personal accountability isn't relevant in an industry with a higher failure rate than gambling. Roberta Blevins was a consultant for 3 MLMs; It Works!, LuLaRoe and Modere, and a customer of many. A Trainer with LuLaRoe, Roberta had a team of 75 women under her, and made over $65,000 in bonuses alone. Definitely "successful" in the eyes of MLM, she was in the top 5% of the company, personal friends with many at Home Office, and invited to speak in company propaganda.  She definitely "worked her business", and still came to the conclusion it was a losing game and a systemically run scam. She eft the MLM world in 2017 and began publicly educating and speaking out against it. Since leaving MLM, she has educated herself on the systemic structure of the business model, the psychological manipulation, the seedy underbelly and governmental ties, the cult indoctrination, and the history of Multi Level Marketing. She educates daily on TikTok, and podcasts in her "free time", talking to the survivors and victims of these commercial cults, disguised as the quickest route to the American Dream. robertablevins.com lifeaftermlmpod.com Click here to get the Am Yisrael Chai crewneck.

Emily Lynn Paulson is a Writer, TEDx speaker, Founder of Sober Mom Squad, and Author of Hey, Hun: Sales, Sisterhood, Supremacy, and the Other Lies Behind Multilevel Marketing. Top 3 Value Bombs 1. MLMs prey on hope, the hope that you could be that small percentage of people who succeed. They also amplify the stories of the people at the top, so, it seems like the success is more widely available than it really is. 2. Everybody who is in an MLM is a victim before they come become a perpetrator. It's the system that's flawed, not people. 3. Just ask questions, don't judge, but try and get that critical thinking to come back online. If you want to be supportive of your friends or family who are in these schemes, the best way to be supportive is by being a soft place to land.
