    Who doesn't love a good and juicy MLM story about the dangers of dating in your downline? Now add Amway to the mix, and we've got a hilariously honest and vulnerable origin story about Matt and his wife Tracey, and all the sick mind games the IBOs in LTD played with them along the way. It's been over 16 years since they've relived some of these stories, so thanks for taking us on this journey and being so real.

    Episode 283 : Tracie Bezerra
    Jan 26 2025
    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.

Excellent Insight

Smart and charming Roberta is soothing to listen to and educational too. These stories are insane; sometimes funny, sometimes heartbreaking, but true exposure nonetheless. Well done!
