We're talking about one of the most dangerous types of jobs in existence today.
No, it's not drilling for oil, climbing cellphone towers, or swinging a 6 foot chainsaw around all day.
This type of job is one that preys on the vulnerable, the recovering, the downtrodden an more.
Multi Level Marketing organizations and schemes.
Today we're joined by two of the most wonderful folks I've met in my podcasting journey who did a deep dive into why MLMs are to be watched out for and what you need to know to beware of if someone comes offering you a job that "smells off"...
A few hints to make sure you're not sucked into one of these:
-Phrases like Upline and Downline
-Needing to buy a "starter kit"
- A pyramid type structure (not a pyramid scheme, we get into that!)
- Being your own boss.
The fabulously talented Ioanna Kekatos joins us with the delightfully charming Aaron Carlson from "Sip With Me". Their podcast did a deep dive on MLMs and they're here to share their stories and the dangers with you.
And who knows, they might even whip us up a drink while they're here as is normal on their show.
Guest: Ioanna Kekatos and Aaron Carlson of "Sip with Me!" - a Chicago based podcast that's mixed, shaken, and stirred to perfection. Check them out on your favorite podcast platform, or at sipwithme.org
