Lularoe has announced their new compensation plan with flashy bonuses, and something called the Legacy Program which they liken to a retirement plan. Yup, during a global pandemic this multi level marketing giant is telling their retailers to focus heavily on team building to amass the greatest Boss Babe Pyramid the world has ever seen. Emma and Francine break down what this all means and exactly how it was presented to the retailers. But first, they chat about clapbacks from Inteletravel agents and a new MLM called Ignite. Intro ends at 17:45 if you like to skip ahead.

Huge shoutout to @inteletravelcon on Twitter for sending over some of their research on these terribly fascinating multi level marketing companies. If you don’t want to listen to the intro chit chat (but you do, we introduce a new segment called Dishonorable Mentions), start at 9:50. That’s where we get into the murky waters that you could be vacationing in if you sign up with PlanNet Marketing. It’s business as usual amidst a global pandemic at this travel MLM/definitely a pyramid scheme. Emma and Francine close up the episode with some chit chat about what’s to come and the Lularoe Cares initiative. Also, there’s cat stuff.

This episode, Francine and Emma have a lot to catch up on. It’s been an eventful week and we get into some serious topics about current events and how multi-level marketing companies are laying it on thick in the midst of a global crisis. The jumping off point for our main conversation is a predatory Instagram post from a Beachbody Hun. The heavy talk touches on mom guilt, copywriting, abuse (see trigger warning in time stamps,) and postpartum depression. We start and end the episode on some lighter notes that include cheesecake and Beanie Babies. Time Stamps: Intro/news/chit chat ends at 14:50 Trigger warning: abuse, domestic abuse at 42:50 to 44:35 Instagram reaction/MLM talk ends at 1:11:30 The end is another story I forgot to tell about my week, and probably more information than you want to know about beanie babies and spreadsheets. We hope you want to listen all the way through, but if you aren’t interested in these titillating subjects, we understand and will still be your friends.
