MLMs have been selling the scam of financial freedom for decades, and I'm fed up. Let's talk about it.
Multilevel marketing schemes, also known as MLMs, network marketing, or sometimes even pyramid schemes, sell the idea that you can make money and get rich easily. But the truth is far from that. From crippling debt, to preying on vulnerable communities, to many lies and deceit, multilevel marketing schemes have a whole lot of problems. In this video, I talk about why MLMs are dangerous, who they prey on, the fantasy of the get-rich-quick scheme, and how to actually become rich.
