The Dark Side of Multi Level Marketing: Women Selling Their Houses, Judging Each Other, and More with Emily Lynn Paulson Jul 18, 2023

Show notes

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.
