If it exists, there's an MLM for it. In this case, we're talking about Usborne Books, now known as Paper Pie, and Southwestern Advantage. Both of these book MLMs have made questionable income claims, but it's their worrying messages, whether in their books or in their businesses, that has people wary. While Usborne books may be steered toward children, Southwestern Advantage targets college students to sell their products—and they don't seem to care about the safety of their distributors, either.

We cover what her school provides and what she's had to purchase for herself, and she tells us about how she originally set up her work equipment in order to teach from a spare bedroom and some of the improvements she's made to her desk setup over the years. Amber also shares about how she lives with two feline roommates and the effort she makes to get out and form some in-person connections in her small-town community.

Today we really knocked it out the park with this interview. We sat down with Brenda Rodgers who is a candidate for Kane County Recorder Of Deeds. Brenda has over 25 years of experience in Kane County politics and was formerly on the Elgin city council. From the power of voting to life in the south prior to coming to Elgin, Brenda was a breath of fresh air. We really learned so much today; Brenda is a realtor and she's confident that her passion to help others in housing has been a strength. Brenda is confident about her abilities, we also spoke about the importance of family & community. She has done so much and continues to do a lot for the residents of Kane County. The election is in November so it's right around the corner. There's still so much to be done, we're glad that there are people like Brenda who are working hard for others!

While the world has gone into lockdown and economies have crashed, one type of business has been seeing double-digit growth – direct selling. Independent consultants for big names such as Body Shop at Home, Forever Living, Avon, Usborne Books at Home and Arbonne have been reporting huge increases in sales and recruitment in response to regular shops closing their doors. But while proponents of ‘multi-level marketing’ or ‘direct to consumer’ selling say it provides an opportunity for women to earn money on their own terms, critics say that the business model sits precariously close to being a pyramid scheme. So what do women need to know? Jenni talks to Susannah Schofield, the DG of the Direct Selling Association; Hannah Martin of the Talented Ladies Club; and Clare from Hertfordshire, who talks about her experience of working in the industry. Meg Learmonth was just 18 when she was appointed drummer for the Stormzy collaborator Mura Masa. She describes how drumming was “love at first hit”, the tale behind her broken foot, touring before lockdown and her part in a 21 day drumming marathon to raise money for the NHS. Meg's 12 hour drumming shift is being streamed this Thursday, 4th June. What is it like coping with lockdown while living with an eating disorder? For today’s Woman’s Hour Corona Diaries, listener Jennie talks about her experience – including how being forced to stay at home has led to her making positive steps towards recovery. The Other One is new comedy on BBC1. It’s all about a girl called Catherine Walcott. And another girl called Catherine Walcott. Half-sisters who had no idea the other existed until their father died. Jenni talks to its creator Holly Walsh and one of the stars taking on the role of Catherine - Ellie White. Presented by Jenni Murray Produced by Jane Thurlow Interviewed guest: Susannah Schofield Interviewed guest: Hannah Martin Interviewed guest: Meg Learmonth Interviewed guest: Holly Walsh Interviewed guest: Ellie White

We have all been invited to the Facebook parties or attended a book fair, but do you know what goes in to creating both of these events? Listen in as Sarah Goins, Consultant with Usborne Books and More, talks about starting a direct selling business, learning what is needed to make it successful, and how she is able to give back to causes near to her heart.

I was born in New Jersey, but moved to Massachusetts when I was eight. I came down to Charleston for college so mathematically I’m still a Yankee for four more years. After that I will have lived here longer than I have above the Mason-Dixon line. Surprisingly, my husband was born and raised in Massachusetts. We grew up ten minutes away from each other. We never met until we were down here. I began working at Berkeley High as a PE teacher, volleyball and basketball coach after college. Charlie is an English teacher. We met on my third day at the school and have been side by side since. With our northern blood and approach to life, I attempted a series called Tales of a Transplant, but nobody down here seemed to care for them. Such is life. I continue to write each day regardless of my schedule, or which hat I must throw on. I truly believe my calling from God is to be a writer. I have been asked by a college to speak at one of their chapel services in the 2019-2020 school year. Although I have never been much for public speaking, I feel honored and at peace. I know it is what I am meant to do. As for hobbies, I am quite active. I need to keep in shape as a personal trainer, but I desire to stay in shape for my love of fitness and the results. I read as often as time, and little ones, allow. I’ll read anything from government agents fighting the mysterious international villains to growing my business, to spiritual growth, to short stories, and I love young adult reads. I am a crafty person as well. I used to own a shop in Downtown Summerville called Downtown Crossing. Everything was handmade by myself, my mother, or my sister-in-law. Though the shop is closed, I still love making candles, jewelry, and even knitting. I have shocked quite a few people when I bust out the knitting needles to make a dish cloth. I believe in busy hands. I even work as an Usborne Books and More consultant. I am quite active in church life. I won’t go into details, but I do work the sound booth for our Sunday morning service. I enjoy being a part of the women’s Bible study group. My husband teaches the K-2nd class on Sunday mornings. We lead Financial Peace University classes. And most importantly we try our best to be godly leaders for all around us. My life is an open book, no pun intended. I’m busy constantly, but enjoying the moments that present themselves. jjsweeney.weebly.com FB: Jewel Sweeney Author jsweeneyauthor@gmail.com 843.697.1527 this episode is sponsored by www.LiveOakRealEstate.net

Talking about some of the supplemental curriculum my kids will be using for homeschool for the 2018-19 school year.

Susan is super excited about new kids’ books, while we prescribe reading with a singalong to help Tara resist a reading slump. We weigh binge-reading versus serialized reading, and find out that Mere might just become a serial reader. On the other hand, Jeannette just wants to binge read all the series. All of them. We then discuss at length Patrick Rothfuss’s lengthy 'The Name of the Wind,' and kindly request more answers and more 'Spice' in Kvothe’s life.Show NotesWhat did you think of The Name of the Wind?
