Summary

Lacey had been out of high demand control for years when she sat down to watch a TV show and was triggered by her past experiences. From her Gideon Roots, and Romanian Orphan Trips to her life as a DINK in Quixtar, Lacey definitely had a pattern of cults and high demand control she couldn't see until it was long in her rearview mirror. In our chat we cover how Quixtar came and went, coaching scams, Costco, the public perception of MLMs and what Amway calls "The Process". Show Notes Small Business Shoutout!

Hey, I'm Robert Blovins, and this is Life After Emile, a podcast where we worked and the stigma

0:16.4

of failure in an industry systemically designed for you to fail.

0:20.4

Join us as we dive into the real life stories of survivors, experts, and advocates,

0:25.3

as we debug the common myths and fallacies of cults, frauds, scams, and multi-level marketing. Oh, So, Oh, the Hey, Hunbats and Hunbroughs. There have been a ton of Tik-Tok videos that I have been summoned to recently and they all start with

1:45.4

somebody saying I was at Target or Walmart or the mall and this person started

1:51.2

randomly complimenting my outfit my my bag, what I was buying, and was really weird.

1:58.0

And does anybody know what this is?

episodes finally get produced.

2:28.9

And so I'm really excited to share this episode specifically because we talk about something that Amway likes to call

2:36.5

the process, which is this weird strange meeting out in public and complimenting and following a hunt to a second location.

2:46.0

This is a fun one, but I do want to give you a couple of content warnings.

2:49.1

We do talk about evangelical cults.

2:51.5

There is mention of pet death, but no details, and mention of drug use, but no details.

2:58.9

I also want to welcome the newest members of the Patreon, Kristen Lahhan, Marjorie Wydower, and Eva Eagler.
