Amanda Uhle (Destroy This House, McSweeney's) is a journalist, publisher, and author. Amanda joins the Armchair Expert to discuss the east meets west hodgepodge decor cultivated by her eccentric parents, her job as a child to not make her mother's hoarding a problem, and her dad's increasing involvement with a motivational tape MLM. Amanda and Dax talk about navigating the subculture of being a pastor's kid, her mom obsession with death taking shape in a vocation as a hospice nurse, and her father's pulpit mental breakdown and subsequent stroke. Amanda explains investigating her mysterious parents because she didn't know what to make of them after their death, how we really have no idea what's going on in people's homes, and finding herself totally at peace with who her parents were.Follow Armchair Expert on the Wondery App or wherever you get your podcasts.

Send us a textTired of posting your heart out and getting crickets? Your messaging might be the missing piece. In this episode, Rachel gets real about why your carefully crafted posts aren't converting and shares the exact framework that turns browsers into buyers. Whether you're building your network marketing business or launching your own income stream, this episode will transform how you speak to your ideal customer—using their words, not yours.Key TakeawaysStop paraphrasing their problems - When someone says "I feel stuck," don't translate it to "you're misaligned." Use their exact words because that's how they think and search for solutions.The sticky note test - If your message doesn't fit on a sticky note, you're trying to solve too many problems at once. Focus on ONE specific struggle per post.Mirror back their language - When your ideal person says they want a "calm vibe" in their home, use "calm vibe"—not "relaxed atmosphere." Their words = instant connection.Ditch industry jargon immediately - Words like "prospect" and "recruit" make people run. Your audience isn't thinking in MLM-speak, so neither should you.Use "Do you feel..." questions for market research - Test your messaging with simple yes/no questions like "Do you feel like you're doing all the things, but nothing's working?" The responses will guide your content strategy.Before and after messaging clarity - Get specific about what your ideal person feels BEFORE they find your solution versus AFTER. This creates compelling, relatable content that sells itself.Take Action NowReady to transform your messaging and start seeing real results?

If it looks like an MLM and quacks like an MLM… is it an MLM? That's the big dilemma our community member needs help with this week. Her brother is obsessed with a “self-development program” that’s apparently changing his life (and draining his bank account). Now he’s trying to sign up the rest of the family, and it's giving MLM vibes. Then we’re jumping into another all-too-relatable situation: being the financially responsible one in a relationship. You’re saving for a shared goal, they’re spending big elsewhere. How do you get on the same page without turning into the budget police? It's slightly chaotic, surprisingly wise, and just the Friday fix you need. Ready for more laughs, lessons, and unhinged money chats? Check out our oh-so-bingeable Friday Drinks playlist.

network marketing.

Visit https://betterhelp.com/almanac for a discount on your first month of therapy.If you have questions about the brand relating to how the therapists are credentialed, their privacy policy, or therapist compensation, here is an overview written by the YouTube creators behind the channel Cinema Therapy that goes into these topics: https://www.reddit.com/r/cinema_therapy/comments/1dpriql/addressing_the_betterhelp_concerns_headon_deep/ Hello Poison Friends! We need to discuss the Wellness Industry. Now, obviously, not everything considered “wellness” is bad or a scam. Meditation, Yoga, a typical spa day, etc. These are great and some people love them and the benefits of them. However, there are a lot of scams, frauds, and even outright dangerous trends floating around that I want to delve into. First, let's go back in time to find out when and how “snake oil” became synonymous with fraudulent medications and who some of the original “snake oil salesmen” were. Then we can look at some of today's most pushed diets and health fads that are either dangerous or just ineffective. We also need to check out the claims and realities behind the idea of detoxes and cleanses that have been marketed or promoted by influencers or celebrities. Also, the infamous coffee enema. Yeah, if you did not know that is a thing. This episode will also feature stories about Steve Jobs and his obsessive and restrictive diet as well as the functional medicine practitioner behind the carnivore diet and his colleague of sorts who had a large YouTube following and went by “Liver King,” before his secrets were discovered. Many of you have been sending me ideas for this sort of episode and because there is just so much to discuss with this topic, I am making it a 2 parter. So next week will be a breakdown on Goop and MLM's that push “health and wellness” products as well as some easy to obtain wellness beverages proving to be addictive and dangerous. In both of these episodes, we will be sharing some stories of influencers, gurus, authors, etc who have made a lot of money and hurt a lot of people by making false claims, outright lying, and pushing supplements, diets, and lifestyles that are dangerous to both one's health and bank account.

Larry Puckett is a world-renowned venture capitalist and entrepreneur who's grown businesses from humble beginnings to multi-million dollar companies in finance, technology, distribution, and now all-natural supplements. Despite starting with very little, Larry's career arc is one of persistence, reinvention, and finding repeatable success—especially when life (and business) go sideways. On this episode we talk about: Growing up with hardworking parents, learning about scarcity, and developing a relentless work ethic cutting lawns and hustling for every dollar Learning (by necessity) that hard work doesn't always equal good money—and why working harder for someone else isn't the long-term answer Early entrepreneurial setbacks: pouring money into a golf apparel company without building an audience, failing fast, and picking up critical lessons for the next time The first real business win: starting an industrial lighting company that grew by focusing on client relationships and solving a basic, boring problem better than competitors Missing the “obvious”—the lesson in seeing (or overlooking) the next big vertical when you're too close to your own business Making the leap (twice) from a steady, high-paying job to bet it all on a vision: burning the bridges, sacrificing luxuries, selling personal items, and even delivering groceries to keep the dream alive The challenge and opportunity of entrepreneurship at 50+—why it's never too late to dream bigger or set a new example for your kids (and grandkids) Evolving from MLM to corporate roles, then to launching Theon Global—a debt-free, e-commerce supplement brand that went profitable in its first three days entirely through organic, audience-first marketing Mistakes in business partnerships, trusting too fast, and learning that doing it yourself (with the right people) is often best The importance of a mission-driven business: helping people live healthier lives with all-natural, all-organic alternatives Top 3 Takeaways You're Never “Too Late”: Larry relaunched at age 50+—after big wins and major losses—proving age and circumstance are rarely the true barriers to entrepreneurship. Boring Businesses Can Bring Big Wins: Success doesn't require inventing the next “hot” thing; doing the basics better than anyone else is a winning formula. Risk is Required—But Stack the Deck: Burn the bridges if you must, but minimize regret by preparing financially, learning from every setback, and building around proven audiences. Notable Quotes “We just stopped cold turkey...but about nine months in, it went from a lot of money to nothing. That's when we decided: there's no going back. We're burning the bridge and selling everything.” “You only lose if you quit. And the regret of not doing it will always outweigh the risk of trying.” “Business is about fundamentals: solve real problems, build audiences, create something people need—then serve your customers and your team really, really well.” Connect with Larry Puckett: Website & Products: theonglobal.com

Ever wonder why toxic wellness culture has us dropping $80 on serums that don't work while wellness scams rake in billions targeting women who just want to feel better? I used to be that girl—clutching my overpriced celery juice, convinced the next biohacking trend would finally "fix" me, completely oblivious to how the wellness industry profits off our deepest insecurities. What if I told you that aging is not a disease to be cured, and that trillion-dollar industry built on essential oil wellness promises is actually designed to keep you coming back for more? Amy Larocca, award-winning journalist and author of "How to Be Well," is here to blow the lid off why wellness retreats feel like cults and how MLM schemes disguised as self-care are preying on our desire to belong.In today's episode, Amy and I dive deep into the uncomfortable truth about how the wellness industry specifically targets women, turning our natural desire for health and connection into profit margins. We're talking about everything from the psychology behind wellness scams to why "optimizing" ourselves has become another form of perfectionism that's keeping us stuck. If you've ever side-eyed your collagen gummies or wondered why that expensive retreat left you feeling more confused than transformed, this conversation is going to hit different.What You'll Learn in This Episode:Why toxic wellness culture specifically targets women and how to spot the manipulation tactics before you fall for themThe real reason wellness scams are a $3.7 trillion industry—and it's not because the products actually workHow wellness retreats use cult-like psychology to make you feel like you belong (while emptying your wallet)Why MLM schemes disguised as essential oil wellness are preying on women's desire for community and financial freedomThe uncomfortable truth about biohacking trends and whether any of these "optimization" methods are actually helping youHow the wellness industry profits by convincing us that aging is a disease that needs expensive, complicated solutionsWhat Amy Larocca discovered during her deep dive into wellness communities—and why debunking doesn't workThe difference between actual health practices and commodified self-care that keeps you buying but never "fixed"This conversation with Amy hit me right in the gut because honestly, I've been that woman throwing money at wellness promises, hoping the next thing would finally make me feel "optimized." The truth is, we're all craving something real to believe in—but maybe what we're actually looking for isn't found in a $200 supplement or exclusive retreat. What if the real wellness revolution is learning to trust our own bodies and stop outsourcing our intuition to people who profit from our insecurities?

In this powerful interview, Kyle Humiston — author of You're Not Crazy — shares his eye-opening journey of walking away from a top 1% position in his network marketing company. From the outside, it looked like he had it all: success, recognition, and a thriving business. But behind the scenes, Kyle began to see the cracks in the MLM model — the cult-like mindset, the manipulation, and the pressure to maintain transactional relationships under the guise of community. Kyle opens up about the emotional toll, the guilt that kept him stuck, and why so many others silently suffer while chasing a dream that's designed to benefit the few at the top. His mission now? To help others realize it's not their fault — and to speak truth to an industry that thrives on silence. If you've ever felt alone, crazy, or burned out in MLM, this conversation will validate everything your gut's been trying to tell you.

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!

For decades, multi-level marketing (or MLM) companies like Amway and Mary Kay have made the promise that people could become their own bosses, earn extra income and work flexible hours under the umbrella of a globally recognized brand. But in reality, the success rates for people working in multi-level marketing “are closer to those of gamblers in a casino.” That's according to Bridget Read, author of the new book “Little Bosses Everywhere.” We talk to Read about the rise of the MLM model and why she says it helped fuel the modern conservative movement.
