Ready for ranty Sarah - cause this episode we’re heading into the BS arena of the passive business crowd and in particular those people selling affiliate, or multi-level marketing (MLM), schemes, and why they're not the “passive income” business model you’ve been promised.
If you’ve ever been tempted by “the dream” you know the one: flexible work-from-home hours, big commission checks, and Insta-worthy freedom vibes this one is for you. Because here's the deal: MLMs and affiliate models aren’t businesses. They’re commission-only sales roles… and often, they're unpaid labor in disguise.
🔥 Inside this episode:
Why owning your business (and your decisions) is a FAR safer option.
The cold, hard numbers: approximately 85% of people in MLMs earn under $1K a year
The hidden cost of “selling the dream” (when you’re not living it yourself)
Why these models suck your time, energy, and trust without giving you real control
- The better alternatives: legit business ideas you can build (and own!) without sacrificing your sanity
You’ll also get a sneak peek into our annual Beyond Retreat 3-day immersive experience designed to help you cut through the noise, rewrite the stories holding you back, and finally take that big step beyond the edge you've been circling.
Let me say this loud and clear: If you already have a business, your time is better spent fixing your current model. If you don’t have one yet? Let’s build you something you actually own something that can’t be taken away with a boardroom pen stroke.

✔ You’re tired of being sold hype over substance

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
