Hey, Hun: Emily Lynn Paulson on MLMs and Other Lies

Published: April 17, 2023, 8 a.m.

This episode is sponsored by Better Help. Imagine this: an invitation comes your way to join a group of friends, mostly moms (and let\\u2019s assume you are one). Primary activities involve drinking lots of wine, relishing in sisterhood and female empowerment, and best of all, making loads of money. It\\u2019s enticing as hell, which explains why Multi Level Marketing groups (MLMs) remain ubiquitous today.\\xa0

What could go wrong? A shit ton! Hence why our guest today, author and mother Emily Lynn Paulson, believes that all MLMs\\u2014which form a $180 billion industry\\u2014are cults. Oh, but they\\u2019re not just your average cults, because lobbyists and politicians are fighting hard to keep the legal pyramid schemes not only intact, but growing throughout American suburbia (and beyond) like wildfire.\\xa0

In this episode, we discuss how to not get caught up in the flames.\\xa0

Paulson is also the author of Highlight Real: Finding Honesty and Recovery Beyond the Filtered Life as well as the forthcoming Hey, Hun: Sales, Sisterhood, Supremacy, and the Other Lies Behind Multilevel Marketing (May 2023).
