Multilevel marketing – or MLMs – are often presented as a chance for independence, empowerment, and entrepreneurship. But beneath the glossy surface of branding and motivational slogans lies a scheme where very few win. What draws people in, and what keeps people signing up with new direct marketing companies even when they’ve been burned before? From NXIVM’s cult of self-improvement to LuLaRoe’s leggings boom, these stories pull back the curtain on what it’s really like to be in an MLM and how they function.

Beyond the MLM scams and scandals, these episodes reveal something deeper about our hunger for belonging, women’s labor in the modern economy, and the enduring pull of the American dream.
