Interlude

A brief word to add some context, and ensure that the audience is aware that 1) being a guest on this podcast doesn't imply endorsement of the context I've added around the pieces of the interviews I've chosen to include, 2) this is cultural criticism and not investigative journalism, which means that I'm using narrative to contextualize something bigger in our culture, not implicate specific participants, and 3) this podcast is meant to raise awareness about an issue, not prescribe action or suggestion that the work any of us is doing is wrong/bad/misdirected; we're all swimming in this, and we need to find ways to become "aware of the water."

The Pyramid-Shaped Elephant in the Room
When we talk about wellness entrepreneurship, it’s hard to ignore the pyramid-shaped elephant in the room: multilevel marketing. MLM or network marketing gets plenty of time in the media, but instead of just talking about why the actual system is good or bad, we’re going to ask: why do women join them in the first place?
I approached these interviews from a place of curiosity instead of condemnation, and they revealed some pretty interesting stories. I encourage you to listen to these interviews with curiosity too — you may be surprised at what you learn.
This is part one of a two-part episode.

What Men Feel All the Time
What drives women into multilevel marketing is the same thing that drives women into wellness entrepreneurship writ large. While MLM has codified a certain business model, wellness entrepreneurship requires the same level of commitment, often for the same slim chance at payoff.
Yet the women who remain optimistic about this business model must have a reason. And that reason is: to feel what men feel all the time.
