If there was a Venn diagram for this episode and the last (Cults!), there may be a liiiiittle bit of overlap. Grace and Alida talk about multi-level marketing schemes (aka MLMs) vs. pyramid schemes - and the fact that anything called a "scheme" is probably kind of sketchy. Grace gives some scary financial facts and Alida runs through a few examples of MLMs. You won't look at Herbalife, DoTERRA, or Lularoe the same way! OH and we crack open a tasty Flashover Irish Red Ale from Mosinee Brewing Co. And if you haven't checked out our website yet, please visit us at babesinbrewlandpodcast.com - CHEERS!
