Summary
Lianne is a French Canadian living in New Brunswick who's been in more MLMs than she can keep track of. From a couple of solid US-based standards, to some exclusive Canadian brands even I had never heard of, Lianne paints us a picture of a young woman trying to find her place in the world with the limited resources available to her. Past abusive relationships, the uncertainty of Military life, and working emotional baggage made Lianne resilient and strong, so a couple of Pyramid Schemes aren't going to keep her down, just don't promise her a hat.

| 0:00.0 | Hey, I'm Robert of Lovins, and this is Life After Emolim, a podcast where we worked |
| 0:10.0 | and the stigma of failure in an industry systemically designed for you to fail. |
| 0:14.6 | Join us as we dive into the real life stories of survivors, experts, and advocates |
| 0:21.3 | to debunk the common myths and fallacies of colts, scams, and multi-level marketing. |
| 0:27.0 | Hey, Hunbuds and Hbrows. I come to you today with a little bit of somber news before we get into the episode. |
| 0:39.0 | I'm not really sure how to break news like this to people, but because this person has come up in several |
| 0:46.8 | episodes over the years and in passing, and when they were first diagnosed, I let everybody know via housekeeping like this. |
| 0:57.0 | I just want to let everybody know that on Saturday, September 16, 2023, Jesse Lee Ward passed away. |
| 1:06.8 | I'm not really sure what to say. |
| 1:10.1 | Death is really hard for me, |
| 1:11.8 | especially cancer-related deaths. |

| 1:24.4 | loss. |

| 1:35.0 | It happened after I had already produced last week's episode so I wasn't able to add it in. |
| 1:41.0 | And it also gave me the ability and the time to sort of process it. Cancer is a tough |
| 1:46.8 | one for me. So I want to let you know that today's episode deals with a couple topics that might be triggering |
| 1:52.4 | to people. Nothing that might be triggering to people. |
| 1:53.6 | Nothing that we go to in depth into, but they are mentioned and so I just wanted to let anybody |
