Arbonne ft. Julie Jo 50:55

5M ago50:55

50:55

When Julie signed up as a distributor for Arbonne, she found early success and rapidly rose to the top of the ranks. What she didn't expect was her faith, finances, self-worth, and diet culture to be entangled with her business. When doubts began to creep in about her ability to stay in leadership at Arbonne, all it took was one thread for an entir…

Enagic ft. Anna 54:50

54:50

Anna thought that she had found a home among the spiritually-minded community in Enagic and their Kangen ionizers, what she found instead were empty promises, debt and culty practices. I sit down with Anna 1:1 to talk about her experience in Enagic. Thanks for listening. Email us at bloww.studio@gmail.com and follow us at @oppcostpod on Instagram &…

1:02:26

We kick off a round of bonus full interview episodes with the lovely Chrystal. When she joined Amway on an invitation from her coworker, Chrystal had no idea how much of her life would eventually be consumed by it. Through ever-growing fees paid and conferences attended, Chrystal never entirely lost her ability to see clearly through the merry-go-r…

44:30

Insurance MLMs have given rise to a new wave of super bros, who are convinced that selling supplemental insurance is how they will make it big. American Income Life is famous among the MLM world, or maybe…infamous. American Income Life reached out to me to see if I would be interested in talking about their life-changing opportunity, so I took them…

A Symphony in Pink 41:27

6M ago41:27

41:27

Mary Kay Ash spun a tale of female empowerment, and today, is hailed as a feminist icon. Their cream, goop, and makeup has been a fixture in pop culture Americana for decades, but the model it uses to sell products and Mary Kay's culty corporate culture is worth a second glance.

45:44

Arbonne boasts that their products are vegan, non-GMO, and tout their B Corp certification as an extension of their clean ingredient mission.

Living Water 47:26

7M ago47:26

47:26

Seekers looking for community outside of traditional religion might find themselves in the New Age movement. These groups are not free from the grip of MLMs and the wild health claims made about their products. Enagic distributors claim to have the secret to long-lasting health in their Kangen water ionizers. I also speak with Anna about her time i…

Free Enterprise 49:03

7M ago49:03

49:03

In the premiere episode, we start at the logical place: the beginning. After Jay Van Andel and Richard DeVos founded Amway, the world - and our political sphere - was never the same. The jury is out on whether that’s for the better…or worse. I also speak with Chrystal, a former Independent Business Owner with Amway and member of the motivational or…

Opportunity Cost S1 Trailer 3:05

8M ago3:05

3:05

How did multi-level marketing become a $186B industry? What does it mean to lose your identity and find it somewhere else? Are distributors who build teams of hundreds underneath them victims? Or are they villains? Maybe the answer to these questions is somewhere in the middle. Who we are determines what motivates us, how we make decisions, and who…

13:13

A quick episode today to get back in the saddle, so to speak. I’m struggling with getting back to a routine and have gained weight. I know that not all the weight is bad.

13:38

I found many people telling me I should try P90X or some similar exercise DVD. Looking up information on the P90X I found it really is a decent program. Provided that you follow their diet and can keep up with the 90 day 1+ hour committment to the exercises. My biggest reason for not doing the plan is cost and personal committment. I need to get ou…
