Episode 364 : Facebook Reacts : Amway Aftermath 02 Nov 2026

As the social media chatter dies down around the Amway ruling, I wanted to invite Julie Anderson to come on the show and go through some of the top MLM Influencers posts regarding the case. These are the people in the MLM space that participants across the spectrum of companies look to, for guidance and advice. The comment sections of these Amway Reaction posts were filled with conversational gems that I felt needed some more attention, and who better to enjoy that with than Julie? Plus, an update on Stormy Wellington - yes, already. Show Notes Who Moved My Cheese?

Episode 363 : Reddit Stories - Amway 22 Oct 2026

We've got an anthology of Amway stories straight off the pages of AntiMLM Reddit for you today! It felt only appropriate after our deep dive this month to see what people's experiences with Amway were like a few years ago, and what advice the comments had to offer. So I asked Julie, Michelle and Mr. F to come join us and share their unique perspectives on what I found. Plus the (now former) new White House Press Secretary was a hun?!

Episode 352 : MLM Conventions 10 Aug 2026

On July 29th 2026, Mr. F and I stepped off the southmost stop of the Las Vegas Monorail and into the MGM Grand Hotel and Casino. Maybe it was the heat of Vegas or maybe we were called to this spot, but we ended up smack dab in the middle of a Paparazzi Accessories Convention. I quickly made a TikTok video, and it exploded with questions and stories alike, leading to the inspiration of this episode, loaded with my own personal MLM convention stories as well as looking at an MLM Convention from both perspectives; the eager MLM rep and the AntiMLM Advocate who now knows better.

Episode 348 : Is Scentsy Sinking? 14 Jul 2026

A few weeks ago I received a link to an article about Scentsy selling one of their large commercial warehouses as well as Mr. F seeing it for sale on a real estate website. At first glance the article looks like a company selling off assets it's no longer using, but coupled with the issues they've had in the last year; multiple corporate layoffs, comp plan changes, reps jumping ship, and sales tanking since it's COVID height... To the trained Anti-MLM Advocate eye, it looks like much, much more.

Who would have thunk it, an Amare case update already?

I hadn't heard too much about Sipology, but as I started to gather information to share about it's closing, I began learning about a much more interesting story; the Rise and Fall of the little Canadian Tea MLM that could.

Episode 339 : TronPool 16 Apr 2026

While in the middle of a Patreon live chat, I was sent a link to an article on Behind MLM about an alleged AI Generated Crypto Adjacent Pyramid Scheme making the rounds. At first, I was just trying to understand how it worked and how Crypto was involved, if at all. But after days of reading blog posts and watching AI slop disguised as training videos, I sat Mr. F down to make sense of it all; what we found opened up more questions than answers in a scammer's paradise ripe for the picking.

Episode 338 : MLM Mini Dive : Vida Divina 05 Apr 2026

In our travels around Southern California, Mr. F and I run into a lot of interesting places, and Ontario has been no exception! Not only is it the home of Chick Publications who make those delightful little tracts we sometimes read, but it's also home to the MLM Vida Divina, which I had never heard of until now. I cannot tell you how many times we've randomly driven past their building and never truly noticed it until one day we both saw it for what it was; culty and out of place. Obviously, we had to find out more, and while this is our first dive into the company and it's cohorts, it definitely won't be the last.

For many years I have wanted to dive into Shen Yun and the Falun Gong cult behind it, and was inspired by recent events to finally tell their story.

Episode 330 : D.A.R.E. 22 Dec 2025

I think by now, most of us have seen the "D.A.R.E. was a cop pyramid scheme" video (if not, it's linked below). I got tagged so many times I felt like I needed to at least look into it; I remember going through the D.A.R.E. program in 5th grade myself, so curiosity got the best of me. What I learned by dipping my toe in, looking for MLM and Pyramid Scheme connections, was way more than I ever expected. Racism, Police propaganda, MLM sponsorships, and thousands upon thousands of kids who loved and fondly remember a government funded program whose cost could not justify its means.

Episode 329 : Cathy Callahan 16 Dec 2025

Cathy reached out to me back in the summer to inquire about sharing a perspective that wasn't entirely "Anti-MLM". She had had an extensive and successful experience in the MLM industry, and had helped many people transition into entrepreneurship, while highlighting the lessons learned and the importance of recognizing red flags. In our chat we discuss the evolution of MLM from the pre-social media era to the current landscape, and the shocking realities faced by many in the industry. Along the way, Cathy has a couple of realizations that make me excited for where her Anti-MLM journey is headed.

Author of Cults Like Us, Jane Borden and I delve into the connections between cult dynamics and American culture, particularly through the lens of the Puritans and Pilgrims.

Nic is back and we're here to deep dive into the life and legacy of Mary Kay Ash, the founder of one of the oldest MLM companies.

Episode 319 : The Death of Alene Schrader 26 Oct 2025

In this episode, we delve into the tragic story of Alene Schrader, who suffered fatal medical neglect at the hands of her granddaughter, Kandise Sheahen, a registered nurse involved in the MLM Q Sciences. Our conversation with Alene's grandson, Jon Schrader and his wife Francesa, explores the dangers of MLM products as healthcare, the risks associated with trusting unqualified individuals in financially motivated medical situations, and the subsequent legal proceedings following Nana's death from ketoacidosis. This story is the worst case scenario of everything we have learned this year about the monetized health and wellness space, and should be listened to with caution.

Episode 318 : Mallory DeMille 19 Oct 2025

Let's grab Mallory DeMille and dive into the wacky world of wellness influencers; the rise of grifters, the impact of the MAHA movement, and the absurd trends that have emerged in recent years. We discuss how wellness influencers exploit tragedies for profit, the gamification of the wellness space, and the challenges of helping change minds in a world filled with mis and disinformation. And what extreme wellness influencer episode would be complete without touching on some of 2025's most bizarre practices like urine therapy and butthole sunning, as well as predictions for 2026.
