Samantha started using Young Living Essential Oils because she believed they would be a safer alternative to mainstream household cleaners and products. She quickly found herself with a shelf full of EO vials and deeply immersed in the #oilylife, throwing away all the "negative" products and replacing them with Young Living dupes. As she built a team, she began to understand the gamification of MLM; commodifying friendships and turning her downline into a bonus check, that she started to realize that maybe this kind of thing just wasn't for her.

Because we're focusing a bit more on the Health and Wellness MLMs this year, we've got an educational episode for you today. Folks on the neurodivergent spectrum tend to get targeted often by MLMs offering anecdotal promises of cures and quick fixes, so it felt important to provide empathy and context. When we're deep in MLM, we often don't take a second to really understand someone's journey and why targeting them could be predatory. Meet Tracie, the amazing mom to Rachel, a 30 year old woman with Autism. In our chat Tracie shares her experiences and frustrations with finding answers, getting diagnoses, being the target of snake oil and confronting denial.Show NotesLiveOps : Avoid Work from Home ScamsFollow Tracie : InstagramThe Highly Sensitive PersonYuba County Five2 Knit Lit Chicks PodcastOut of MLMThe BITE ModelLAMLM Book ClubMLM DupesHow can you help?MLM ChangeReport FraudTruth in AdvertisingReport to your state Attorney General's office!Not in the U.S.?

After working for a decade in corporate marketing for some of the biggest names in the business (MTV, NBC, Miller Beer), she left for academia, motivated by a desire to pull back the curtain on consumerism’s dark side with the goal to persuade companies to do better and give people tools to increase their power in the marketplace.She is the author of eight books, including the forthcoming Hoodwinked: How Marketers Use the Same Tactics as Cults (Prometheus Books, 2025).Show NotesConnect with Mara! : Instagram | TikTok | WebsiteWatch Buy Now! on NetflixPre-Order Hoodwinked(Not) Getting Paid to Do What You Love: Gender, Social Media, and Aspirational WorkPersuasion KnowledgeBlack Ops AdvertisingTupperware and Mrs. MaiselOut of MLMThe BITE ModelLAMLM Book ClubMLM DupesHow can you help?MLM ChangeReport FraudTruth in AdvertisingReport to your state Attorney General's office!Not in the U.S.?

Trigger Warning: In this episode we talk to a former Juror on a murder trial about a gruesome case in great detail. Please use discretion when listening.When Trish showed up for jury selection, she just thought she would be fulfilling her civic duty and would be dismissed and headed home shortly. Instead, Trish found herself seated in the jury box, selected for a local murder case, where a woman had been found beaten and murdered in her own home. Over the following days, Trish was thrust into the traumatic story, required to listen to every detail, look at every photo and hear the testimony of those involved to a staggering degree.

As the toxic diet culture craze came into fashion and being crunchy was the newest fad, Church United and Triumphant clung to their remaining members and adopted a macrobiotic diet. We talk about their obsession with the healing powers of Tea Tree Oil, how the MLM Melaleuca scammed their way in the door, the panic of Y2K, and the Siege at Waco, and how it actually helped CUT keep its tax exempt status.Show NotesMontana Compound Zillow ListingJoin the Survivor GroupProphet's Daughter by Erin ProphetChurch Universal & Triumphant's WebsiteChurch Universal and TriumphantY2K PanicWaco SeigeOut of MLMThe BITE ModelLAMLM Book ClubMLM DupesHow can you help?MLM ChangeReport FraudTruth in AdvertisingReport to your state Attorney General's office!Not in the U.S.?

It's about time we had another Herbalife episode, and this one might take the entire loaded tea/shake combo. Meet one of our Discord members Michael, and his mom Ginger who opened up their very own Herbalife Nutrition Shop without having to jump though any of the normal hoops. With shady business practices from their upline, and a less than honest attempt at a retail store, Ginger and Michael learned quickly that this wasn't a real business and it was too late to do anything about it. I hope the FTC and lawyers who keep tabs on Herbalife are listening today, because these loopholes are some of the worst I've ever heard.Show NotesSilver Lining LessonsLiver Tox with HerbalifeFactsAboutHerbalife.comHerbalife Associated with HepatoxicityMichael's Herbalife DupesOut of MLMThe BITE ModelLAMLM Book ClubMLM DupesHow can you help?MLM ChangeReport FraudTruth in AdvertisingReport to your state Attorney General's office!Not in the U.S.?

First, I cannot believe we're on the OTHER SIDE of 250 episodes, and secondly it couldn't be with a more fun guest! Meet Don Martin, fraud investigator by day and host of the podcast Head on Fire. When Don made a video on TikTok asking about the potential dangers of Bomb Party, I HAD to make a reply video, and what happened was our worlds colliding and creating two different podcast episodes about it. In OUR episode on Life After MLM, Don and I talk about the Grift of the Woo, and how scammers invade the spiritual communities with their overpriced crystals, cold readings and snake oil. If you've ever found yourself scrolling, contemplating spending lots of money on tarot, psychics, or mediums; "THIS IS FOR YOU!"Show NotesMy episode on Head on Fire!W.I.T.C.H Hexes Wall St.The Coven of Witches who Fought the NazisWhat are Andara Crystals?How Pig Butchering Scams WorkThe Barnum EffectHarry Houdini & The Scam of SpiritualismMinDat.orgOut of MLMThe BITE ModelLAMLM Book ClubMLM DupesHow can you help?MLM ChangeReport FraudTruth in AdvertisingReport to your state Attorney General's office!Not in the U.S.?

Have you ever seen someone on social media describing a weird encounter at a Walmart or a Mall where a random person comes up and starts strange conversations and complimenting them, and them wondering what just happened? I get tagged in almost ALL of them, and I always let the creator know that it's an MLM and to run. But it's not just ANY MLM, it's a very specific one we talk about A LOT (though today we'll be calling it "FAM") and what the person on social media just experienced is the prospecting part of what FAM likes to call "The Process". In this episode Stefan and Jenna take us down the very many steps of "The Process" and share their story of 13 years in FAM.Show NotesConnect with Stefan & Jenna on InstagramOn Becoming a God in Central FloridaExes & Tea PodcastOut of MLMThe BITE ModelLAMLM Book ClubMLM DupesHow can you help?MLM ChangeReport FraudTruth in AdvertisingReport to your state Attorney General's office!Not in the U.S.?

Who doesn't love an Amway episode? I feel with each one we get 2 steps closer to figuring it all out, and still find a whole new set of questions to ask next time. In this chat we meet TJ Musumhi, a former member of the LOA LTD for 6 years. In his time with Amway and LTD, he faced faith manipulation and too many empty promises which lead him to discovering the truth of the Tools Scam. TJ dove into the rabbit hole and eventually found our episode with Sean Munger and reached out to share his story.Show NotesConnect with TJ : Instagram | Podcast | YouTube | WebsiteIBOGear.comLTD Comp PlanOut of MLMThe BITE ModelLAMLM Book ClubMLM DupesHow can you help?MLM ChangeReport FraudTruth in AdvertisingReport to your state Attorney General's office!Not in the U.S.?

Irene is one of our Discord member who wanted to share her story of not only being rejected by the Kundalini Yoga Cult, but also growing up with an abusive mother obsessed with the attention associated with medical abuse. From her doctor shopping mother, to being misdiagnosed, Irene shares the story of her childhood and the neglect and chaos she was forced to accept as normal. We chat about our "neurosnazzy" journeys, mental health, Munchausen by proxy, Rx drug abuse, and why not to buy Yogi Tea.Show Notes3HO Yoga CultYoga Yoga Austin is Shutting DownAfter Yoga Yoga closes its locations, some teachers claim they still haven't been paidr/tea : Disturbing info about Yogi Tea being owned by a cultHyberbole and a Half by Allie BroshNME settles 66 psychiatric patient care cases for $15 millionOut of MLMThe BITE ModelLAMLM Book ClubMLM DupesHow can you help?MLM ChangeReport FraudTruth in AdvertisingReport to your state Attorney General's office!Not in the U.S.?
