  • So Many Ads

    I very much enjoy hearing the stories and I really want to keep listening but I have to skip 4 minutes of the intro of ads, then 5-10 minutes of “housekeeping and updates” and then there are so many 3-5 minute ads during the episode. I get it, ad revenue. But please shorten the ads or give me less ads. Please please please.

  • Drop the BF chat

    The show is better with just you Stop bringing in Mr F or whatever you call him. He has no connection to MLM at all so he’s irrelevant to the show completely. it was so much better before you started adding him into the show!!!

  • Who’s that guy?!?!

    Not a fan of the guy cohost. So many of these stories are really unique to the female experience and it feels weird that he’s in the room with us. He doesn’t add anything and the show is better without him.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 354 : Agara Life
Q: So I'm going to ask you a question, Julie. Have you heard of The Magic Coffee Lady?
Julie says she hadn't heard of that specific name in her preliminary research, but the discussion pivots to a broader pattern of how origin stories and external sources shape MLM narratives and how such traces can lead to connections with Agara Life.
Episode 350 : The Downline
Q: What was your inspiration for switching from the convention to the car party?
Budgetary concerns drove the shift; a car party is cheaper to produce than a full convention setting, and it allows a contained thriller atmosphere while still telling the same human story.
Episode 337 : MLM Mini Dive : LifeWave
Q: So we're going to be talking about LifeWave patches today. What do you think their patches actually do?
The patches are non-transdermal stickers that supposedly reflect infrared light to influence energy flow and meridians, with claims of improving energy, sleep, and athletic performance, though the hosts remain skeptical and emphasize lack of solid scientific evidence.
Episode 329 : Cathy Callahan
Q: If you had a magic wand, what would you change to make MLM a safer place?
Teach people how to make money and provide better business plans; help them understand what they really get into.
Episode 329 : Cathy Callahan
Q: What do you feel is the good in MLM right now, where you sit as you see it?
The people are pure-hearted and have great intentions; the model is low-cost and low-risk, providing an entry point into entrepreneurship.
