What comes to mind when you hear the letters MLM?
For a lot of people, it's a cringe-worthy stereotype. 😬 But what if we've been asking the wrong questions?
In this episode, Dr. Terry and Lisa pull back the curtain on multi-level marketing, where it came from, why it developed such a mixed reputation, and how to tell the difference between a legitimate direct-selling company and something you should absolutely run from.
Along the way, we share stories from an incredible week at the Barbara O'Neill conference, why discernment matters more than hype, and the filters we've always used before saying "yes" to any opportunity. We also open up about why we're excited to add a new European wellness company to our Living Well portfolio, and why this decision has been years in the making, not an overnight impulse.
Whether you're curious about direct selling, have written it off completely, or simply enjoy thoughtful conversations about business, integrity, and living well, we hope this episode gives you a fresh perspective.
In this episode, we discuss:
* Why MLMs and pyramid schemes are not the same thing
* The surprising history of direct selling
* The product-first philosophy we believe every company should have
* How faith, patience, and discernment guide our decisions
* Why relationships—not recruiting—have always been at the heart of what we do
* What we're learning as we prepare for an exciting new season
If you've ever wondered whether it's possible to build a business with integrity, this conversation is for you.
