In her post LLR life, Katie is a professional medium and made some predictions for me back in the summer of 2020! She also shares her predictions for the release and we discuss the possible aftermath of LuLaRich. Somehow Katie turns this around and interviews me as well, with a couple comedic tangents along the way! Laughter truly is the best medicine for shared trauma.Show NotesWatch LuLaRich on Amazon Prime Video! - https://amzn.to/3k68AxsRachel Hollis shades the MLM community in her newest book and they aren’t happy about. - https://www.reddit.com/r/antiMLM/comments/jhp35i/rachel_hollis_shades_the_mlm_community_in_her/Tarot Card Meanings - https://www.biddytarot.com/tarot-card-meanings/Coolina Knives - https://coolinastore.com/collections/knivesDr. Steven Hassan's BITE Model - https://freedomofmind.com/cult-mind-control/bite-model/Ponzinomics by Robert L.

Though Katie is not featured in LuLaRich, her story would have fit perfectly in the series. We chat about our mirrored experiences in LuLaRoe during our time under the same Mentor, the mess that was Vision 2017 and the ADA issues, the mysterious hashtag "#becauseoflularoe", being stacked, manipulated launches, defective product, and how much she got for selling her team, and walking away. We also talk about the issues that arise when you unknowingly bring people you love into a scam.

I first met Derryl back in 2017, right after we had both left LuLaRoe and found Defective. When helping consult on LuLaRich, I KNEW the producers needed to hear what really happened in Home Office and that Derryl was the only one who could tell it. Derryl shares his experiences being hired, dealing with failed launches, Convention 2016 & 2017 (you decide which was worse) and his emotional tear filled realization that he's worth more than this.

"Tallulah" dodged a bullet when she saw the red flags at a World Financial Group recruitment event and decided to turn down "the opportunity". After making that decision, she was harassed and bullied by her recruiter with vicious texts and voice messages. We also discuss different red flags to look for when trying to figure out if the opportunity being offered is a scam or not, the differences between MLM and "Corporate America" and what to expect from a legitimate job offer. Show NotesWorld Financial Group - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Financial_GroupBetting on Zero - https://amzn.to/3DNlg4eTransamerica Pyramid - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transamerica_PyramidInfiltrating A Pyramid Scheme: WFG - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=flugTRSTZooDr. Steven Hassan's BITE Model - https://freedomofmind.com/cult-mind-control/bite-model/Ponzinomics by Robert L.

In this episode, we meet "Julie Smith" and she takes us through her journey into "becoming a Hun", while in the top 5% of two different MLMs. From her viewpoint, she got to experience the behavior MLM's don't tell you about; the true costs, what it really takes and what you've got to be willing to let go. As "Julie" tells her story, she recounts how she came to understand that while she was successful in MLM, it was at the expense of the "failures", and she knew she couldn't keep quiet any longer.Show NotesLuLaRich Trailer - https://youtu.be/nJgkwIHp1pcMy NEW Website! - www.robertablevins.comMonat to refund more customers after 2-year Fla.

Eddie was a massage therapist in Tucson, Arizona looking for a more stable and rewarding career when an insurance agent walked though the spa's doors offering options. Though his time in insurance, he found himself working for World Financial Group, an insurance service MLM that seemed more interested in recruiting than selling appropriate policies. Eddie offers some practical advice, we share our love of Jewish bakeries and food, and where he's headed next.Show Notes*Follow my TikTok BACKUP Account!- https://www.tiktok.com/@bertalikewhoa2.0*World Financial Group - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Financial_GroupTypes of Life Insurance - https://www.iii.org/article/what-are-principal-types-life-insuranceThe Great Recession - https://www.investopedia.com/terms/g/great-recession.aspIndex Funds - https://www.nerdwallet.com/article/investing/how-to-invest-in-index-fundsBNI - https://www.bni.com/Insurance Reddit - https://www.reddit.com/r/Insurance/Personal Finance Reddit Wiki - https://www.reddit.com/r/personalfinance/wiki/insurance/Securities - https://www.investopedia.com/terms/s/security.aspThe Jetsons Meet The Flintstones - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Jetsons_Meet_the_FlintstonesPeople Helping People MLM Scam - https://www.reddit.com/r/antiMLM/comments/eule06/php_agency_is_an_mlm_scam_heres_the_facts/Class Action Lawsuits & Insurance - https://uphelp.org/claim-guidance-publications/whats-up-with-insurance-class-action-lawsuits/Finra fines WFG Investments $700,000 - https://www.investmentnews.com/finra-fines-wfg-investments-700000-60279Jewish Funerals and Burial - https://www.shiva.com/learning-center/death-and-mourning/jewish-funerals-and-burial/Dutch insurer's U.S. unit draws scrutiny from regulators - https://web.archive.org/web/20080531211002/http://www.iht.com/articles/2008/05/28/business/regs.phpLos Pollos Hermanos - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Los_Pollos_HermanosHow Money Works: Stop being a SUCKER - https://amzn.to/3xlmDT8WealthWave MLM Scam - https://www.reddit.com/r/antiMLM/comments/bqnz2f/wealthwave/WA State Long Term Care Insurance News - https://www.spokanejournal.com/special-report/long-term-insurance-short-term-confusion/Support my FAVORITE Anti-MLM Clothing Boutiques in Michigan!Shop Adrianne's Boutique! - adriannesboutique.comShop Lee Lee's Boutique! - https://shopleelees.com/Dr. Steven Hassan's BITE Model - https://freedomofmind.com/cult-mind-control/bite-model/Ponzinomics by Robert L.

In the conclusion of Abby's episode, we finish out chat on MLMs & Christianity and dive into our personal thoughts and fact based opinions on Multi Level Marketing, and why what seems like simple and kind things to do, end up being nefarious traps that keep people stuck in the scam longer and cause them to lose more money over time. Plus, a direct call to action to church leaders to keep spaces safe from predatory scams, and a call to action to those with friends in MLM as well.Show NotesIt’s Time For Christians (And Society, For That Matter) To Confront MLMs - https://ethan.shol.ly/blog/confronting-mlms/John Oliver Last Week Tonight MLM Episode - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6MwGeOm8iIA History of Young Living founder Gary Young - https://www.reddit.com/r/antiMLM/comments/85z454/a_history_of_young_living_founder_gary_young/The 7 Stages of Grief - https://www.healthline.com/health/stages-of-griefParis Geller - https://gilmoregirls.fandom.com/wiki/Paris_GellerThe Dream Podcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-dream/id1435743296Ministers, please stop peddling multilevel marketing products to the church - https://www.christianpost.com/voices/ministers-please-stop-peddling-multilevel-marketing-products-to-the-church.htmlDolores Umbridge - https://harrypotter.fandom.com/wiki/Dolores_UmbridgeFrasier - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FrasierRent or Buy Betting on Zero - https://amzn.to/3heUVRVDr. Steven Hassan's BITE Model - https://freedomofmind.com/cult-mind-control/bite-model/Ponzinomics by Robert L.

Abby Miller thought she was just "helping out a friend" at church by buying some oils, when she got an email welcoming her to the team as Young Living's newest distributor. After that experience she wanted to understand what had happened to her and why, and she went down the MLM rabbit hole. Being a Christian, Abby began to see that the MLM practices she was experiencing in her community were contradicting the biblical values she had been taught. After finding the podcast and listening to Ryan's episode on Mormonism, Abby wanted to be on the show to take on MLMs and Christianity. I wanted her on the show to have her answer the age old question; "Abby!
