There is lots of debate, misconceptions, and judgement around multi-level marketing. Especially during the pandemic where people have become involved in multi-level marketing companies out of desperation to make money to get by. This podcast was inspired by an article Vilius read last week. We had talked about multi-level marketing at length in the past, and mostly had a negative opinion of it. We kind of had a broad brush stoke perception that all companies that work in that way were unethical or somehow exploitative on some level. Or at least I did.

This was a wonderful podcast to record. We examine multi-level marketing from all angles and having a three-way discussion where we all have different ideas and perspectives was so awesome.

The main things we cover are:

-Alex shares his experience and background of working with Isagenix: a multi-level marketing company. The personal development he has achieved from working with the business.

-What multi-level marketing is and the main difference between a pyramid scheme and multi-level marketing.

-The pros and cons of multi-level marketing 

-The diversity of culture and approaches of each multi-level marketing business 

-Nutrition and supplements 

-The impact of passion and discipline on reaching goals

-How accents and your appearance impacts your chances of succeeding in many multi-level marketing, commission-based jobs

-"Meritocracy", Inequality,  and the impact on your opportunity's in life, with a  wee shout out to Boris Johnson

-&  much more 

Thank you so much again to Alex for being so honest, open, and kind with his time. His approach to each question was thoughtful and not defensive. You have now reached the next stage in your hippea.oils ambassador programme.  Welcome. You now have to recruit 200 people by the end of next month to graduate from the scheme. Haha.

I really enjoyed hearing both Vilius's and Alex's thoughts and I really loved how varied our conversation was and how we ended up talking about some of my favorite subjects, nutrition, passion, and inequality.
