Ep. 60: Unveiling Shady Business Practices of Health MLMs (ft. Jill, MLM researcher and podcaster)

The Anti-Macro Podcast

In this episode of The Anti-Macro Podcast, I delve into the complex world of Multi-Level Marketing (MLMs) with my guest Jill, a dedicated researcher and podcaster whose show, "Opportunity Cost," uncovers the inner workings of MLMs through interviews and in-depth research.

We start by defining MLMs and exploring why they are often considered schemes, providing background information for those of you who may be unfamiliar with the topic. We discuss the allure of MLMs as a side hustle and how to identify when someone is being recruited by one, including alternative terms used by MLMs and bait-and-switch tactics.

Furthermore, we address the importance of understanding MLMs and why consumers should care about their predatory nature. From capitalizing on clients' weaknesses to the lack of product standards, MLMs present significant concerns for consumers.

In the health and fitness space, MLMs are prevalent, and we highlight some examples and the products or services they offer. We specifically focus on health MLMs and question the trustworthiness and efficacy of their supplements, discussing issues such as proprietary blends and legal cases.

Moreover, we touch on the qualifications of MLM distributors, emphasizing the risks of receiving health advice from unqualified sources. We also shed light on the questionable tactics used by MLMs and their distributors, including bogus claims and the manipulation of transformation photos.
