Heather and Sara share their past experiences with multi-level marketing (MLM) businesses, uncovering the dark secret that drinking pervaded their ventures. From using alcohol to bond with team members to being part of a drinking-focused team, they talk candidly about how their 'drinking brains' painted the MLM model in a glamorous light. However, their journeys into sobriety gave them the clarity to see how alcohol was negatively affecting their personal and professional lives, contradicting their pursuit of freedom and genuine community.
