Summary

This week, Sara and Danny are back to cover an OG MLM with an iconic color: Mary Kay. They start off with the story of its founding by Mary Kay Ash, and then get into all the shady business practices that the company upholds to this day. They also breakdown what we know about their income statements, and just how small of a percentage of its sales force actually makes any money. After that, they discuss the legal challenges Mary Kay has had along the way and how they have impacted the business. They end the show with a game called ‘Pink The Right Choice!,’ where they try to answer a series of questions that all have to do with Mary Kay’s signature color: pink.
