Hi hun! In Part Two, we're talking about the modern MLMs (multi-level marketing companies, and golly, there are a TON of them out there!) and the psychology that brings people in and keeps them involved. Get into cult psychology, the gambling mindset, and more, with us!

Hey girl, in Part One, we break down the structure and history of Multilevel Marketing with great detail and excitement. Be sure to listen carefully for some tips from the FTC at the beginning! From the California Vitamin Company and its successor Amway, and onto still thriving female-centric brands like Avon and Mary Kay, these pyramid-like companies have been around for decades. Come back next week for Part Two, in which we'll talk about the modern MLM and the psychology that brings people in and keeps them involved.
