Huge news!!! I now have an editor for Horror Story videos! 🤩 I’m so grateful, this takes a massive workload off my plate, and this is the first video she has edited for me. I think she did an incredible job, THANKS ALEECE! 🎉
I was an assistant branch manager for a national bank and pitching your MLM to a client is a guarantee to get fired immediately. It is a huge violation of trust. I can’t imagine any bank would not have the same strict policy on something like that. Ironically, MLM people will pitch you all the time at work and I’m just thinking, “You asked me to pull up your account. I can see how broke you are. Clearly this ‘opportunity’ you’re offering me isn’t working out for you.” But of course you can’t say that to them as much as you want to.
Pitching MLM to someone who could obtain the detail of your bank account is beyond careless😂🤣😂🤣😂. I guess the MLM hun was so used to do the pitching anytime anywhere and didn't bother to check the situation anymore.
Thanks for sharing Zeke's disdain for MLMs with us. You're a great translator! Unfortunately I don't speak cat, but his passion for the topic does come across in the background.
That $300 non refundable down payment to attend Beachbody conferences is a real sinister move on the company’s part - how many people do you think get trapped in the sink cost fallacy trying to qualify to attend after paying that?
Buying a ton of product from yourself to gain points (or whatever) in order to qualify must be a lot of money on its own. And if uou fail to qualify in time? Sucks for you! You've now lost the down payment money, spent a ton of time and coin to rank up/gain points, and you've lost out on the trip.
The reality is that this $300 is covering the cost of the people attending the trip so the company probably pay very little overall.. This is a clever scam
I know! I literally cackled at that (because it was so unexpected!) and my 4-year-old daughter who’s playing on the floor, turned around and asked, “what’s funny, Mama?!” 😳🤣
Do MLMs have HR? That feels like the kind of comment that a normal company could literally get sued for, but I guess MLMs get away with it because they're contractors?
@@Tink00 MLMs get away with so much I normally would think HR would be all over. So yeah, I guess since they are contractors they can get away with it.
@@Tink00they almost certainly have company policies against speaking to anyone that way while representing the company, both for employees and for contractors. They just don't enforce them proactively because it serves them better to ignore it.
As a husband, I just want to say that no number of "favors" would get me to turn a blind eye to dangerous financial decisions my wife might be making. I would be grateful, but it wouldn't "shut me up."
I cannot imagine my boss or colleagues suggesting I just give my spouse “favors” to calm him down if he was concerned that my job was taking too much of my time or money. I’d be straight to HR.😏
It's also kind of rude to insinuate men are so stupid they can be easily manipulated by "favors". Can't believe that person even said that to their downline, so inappropriate for so many reasons
Omg okay, Hannah, I'm freaking that you liked my comment 🤣😂. I absolutely love your content. It's such a breath of fresh air you are doing the lords work, girl!
Random Zeke thought - I notice at home when I talk to myself or I sing ect my cats are all over me. They don't do this when I talk to another person in the room. I wonder if Zeke thinks you're talking to him because no one else is there. What would happen if another person watched you film?
The vilification of doctors is one of the most angering things to me. Yes, the healthcare system and medical training system are both broken, but actively choosing to give people essential oils that are proven to *cause more harm* for many illnesses/disorders and claim the kinds of things they do is just sick.
The cult contributor needs to report the banker - depending on the country, that's a crime. And if it's not, the bank will definitely not be happy. On a happier note, huge congratulations to the contributor for being for brave!!
I just want to say I want to say as a former Arbonne rep, getting to area manager is definitely not easy. I'm impressed while simultaneously feeling bad for her. Her upline definitely loved her in the beginning.
MLM "work trips" you have to EARN are so wild.. I'm going on a work trip to another county in Europe and everything is paid for either by the host organization or my own employer. The flights, hotel, food at the conference, everything is paid for. And I'll get paid my salary, like I should. In what reality do these people live that they feel like having to earn and pay for your work conference is normal 😬 Seeing Zeke in your videos always makes my day! It's his world, the rest of us are just living in it. And for the part of summer just having started... I live in Finland, summer very much is over at this point 😂
I sent in that story. Yes I’m fairly certain cps has been called on them before but lead to nothing. I am infuriated by the neglect but I am trying to collect more evidence without tipping her off. I am doubtful there is much more that could be done for her son. It is an issue that needed to be caught early to be possibly fixed. I am so torn on it because yes, they are family, but I still think this child could possibly receive better care.
@@smolexfundie6458Ugh, I'm so sorry. CPS all too often is either powerless or unwilling to help (depends on who you get on any given day). Hopefully that child has some adult advocates who can help; child welfare always trumps social or familial obligations. Maybe there are local victim advocacy or child welfare groups, something community-based and grassroots rather than CPS alone. They can assist in figuring out next steps and connecting you to agencies that can/will help. All the best of luck to you and that kid.
I'm left wondering something about Sam's story... Would it be possible that her not being the "ideal candidat" to join the MLM could also be the fact that she said she was getting ready to leave a cult already? Therefor in the mind of an MLM recruiter, could be a red flag that she would end up seeing through the scam with more ease given her past experience with an actual cult?
Omg my older cat never cared about zeke’s little noises in the background but we recently got a 6 month old kitten and it’s driving him crazy lol he’s jumping all over the place trying to figure it out.
All the trips and gifts you earn is considered taxable income as well. I was in Mary Kay and earned a cruise and a ton of gifts from the company and it was considered income farrr more than I actually earned
Wasn't that such an ugly little surprise. I found out that all my purchases were considered income through Arbonne. Personal products that I was encouraged to buy, so that I could live a "clean life" was considered both a sale and income...vile and disgusting. And of course not a single person in the upline told me this and I don't even know if they were aware and when I confronted them it was "wow we don't do that here", because conveniently, my ?my upline was located in Canada and Australia. I'm pretty sure they were lying though.
I literally jumped up and ran outside because I thought it was the stray I've been taking care of... Did a major facepalm once I took my headphones out and realized it was Zeke!
I work in a sales role. The managers make time for anyone in the team who needs it, schedule meetings with all the team regularly and they carve out extra time for those who are new or struggling. The idea that you need to "earn" coaching/ time with upline/ manager type roles is very, very weird to me.
Your managers act as they should. An ex manager of mine once told me that part of her job was social, meaning emotionally supporting employees, being the mediator between two quarelling employees, supporting employees by showing them how to do things better, etc. It's so true. But treat members of your team like human beings and they will be ready to work their asses off because they feel seen and respected. I wish more companies understand that.
My cat Merlin sounds exactly like Zeke but only when he goes potty. So anytime I watch your videos and you don’t say out loud that it’s Zeke I go to the litter box to scoop lol
Your sense of smell is the most powerful memory primer, because that sense is directly weird to the brain. Very, very thin hair like fibers travel throughout openings in the base of the skull called the, "Cribriform Plate". That means smells are essentially hardwired to the brain. So when you smell a certain smell, that memory is more vivid thanks to that connection. My favorite is the smell of chlorine from a pool. Lots of great memories as a kid spending hours in the water.
School starts back for our kiddos in another week! Summer has flown by!!! But we're going to try to squeeze in a trip to Orange Beach! I've nagged my poor hubby all Summer to go to the beach & we just bought a business back in March...NO MLMs...lol ...& he's been swamped, which is a good thing, but hes finally going to take some time with us & go on vaca!!! 🙏🏝
Surely that bank guy has to be reportable. I wouldn't imagine the bank would endorse his behaviour. Banks (at least where I live in Australia) are becoming much more educated on the importance of providing skilled support to vulnerable clients such as those leaving high control situations such as family violence, so I'd imagine they would likely value hearing about any of their employees who are taking advantage of vulnerable clients like the person who wrote in to you with her story.
I worked for a non-MLM company that treated their executives like celebrities - literally throwing small *parades* when they came to visit a location. I was so weirded out by these "exec-visit-hype-parties" because I didn't see how being good at making phone calls and organizing teams made someone so special (idk, maybe I just don't understand what execs do all day) But at least those executives have an actual job!
You’re totally right about having to pay 20% back as an independent contractor but when you’re actually calculating your deductions properly it at least brings down your amount of taxable income which means paying less in taxes for us 😂 just to clarify for anyone wondering, a lot of us don’t actually pay that 20-30% of our earnings in taxes bc deductions help us out quite a bit.
Thank you for not putting music behind your videos. Ive been watching for two years now and i just realized why i love watching or listening to your videos so much 😅
It’s sad to me that BeachBody is like this because the programs are actually mostly great and such a good option for those of us who don’t want to go to the gym to workout/just don’t have time. But the MLM aspect is making me quit it when my membership is up
I feel this way too. I actually really like the workouts, so am conflicted because I don't want to support an MLM. I don't buy Shakeo anymore or any other products, but like the option of working out from home...and that's cheaper than belonging to a gym. Years ago I remember buying BB products through -- was it Guthy Renker?? -- ads on TV. I think I still have my Yoga Booty Ballet DVD 🤣
There’s a ton of free workouts on UA-cam that you can find that are better. Beachbody has been known to also cause many injuries to people because of some of the weird moves they do. A lot of personal trainers actually don’t recommend beachbody. As a former trainer myself I’m horrified I did some of them. 😵💫 Autumns form just makes me cringe.
That's the hard part! I actually used to be an Insanity live instructor, and so many people love Insanity, they are like wait it's part of an MLM??? Shaun T seems like such a great human. If he left BB he could start his own platform and be so successful.
There are soooo many other services similar to beach body that aren’t an MLM. Peleton has new workouts all the time, something for everyone for 20$ CDN a month. Guided walks/runs, Pilates, yoga, strength, body weight, bootcamps and more.
As someone said, there are free youtube workouts (Heather Robertson comes to mind, i think that's the name) plus multiple apps that do the same thing. Peleton and Fiton come to mind. Fiton is free unless you buy Pro, which is $25 to $30 for the year, and Peleton is $12.99 for the month.
My holiday plans are clearing out my in-laws house before it's sold. At least they lived in a holiday town. Then in September my husband is taking me away to watchh cricket.
I also left a cult almost 10 years ago and I often think about how similar the tactics are that some of these MLM reps use, both to recruit people and keep them in their downline. So glad she got out and managed to stay away from that MLM!
Hannah, I would love to see a deep dive of Shaklee. Some of my family members have recently joined... it's a hot mess. So many false health/ mental health claims. Thank you for all you do!!
The plexus mum should be arrested for child abuse / negligence by not providing medical care needed but exposing the child to possible harmful supplements & essential oils while exploiting the poor child to promote her business
The top monat-er in my small town who “won” the white caddy has had to move on to another scam. They’re also dog breeding now. Never once seen her with a dog…doesn’t own a dog…but all of a sudden is selling $2500 designer dogs.
My daughter spent 3 months in London and was a docent at the Benjamin Franklin house. She took a trip to Scotland just for a few days. I envy both of you.
OK Hannah that segue into the sponsorship was SMOOTH lol and your explanation of the product actually made me want to check it out (which is super rare for me) love seeing you get sponsors!
I usually don't mind watching sponsorship part of UA-cam videos because I know I watch the videos for free and it's the least I can do to support the creator. If anything, it just adds my knowledge about various products available in the market. If the sponsorship is too much, or the video is too long for unnecessary content, I just skip the video and abandon the channel.
As soon as you know someone who goes into Beach Body, block them, ASAP!!! They will never stop bugging you about it. It's the most annoying thing ever. Great video, as usual!
It’s interesting to hear an opera singer talk about the group of people who give their attention only to the top earners in their downline. I’m a singer as well, and I’ve run into the exact same behavior in the opera and theatre worlds. I’m not saying every performer behaves that way, but it’s 100% a thing.
The "YOU CAN SIT WITH US!" perk sounds like it was pulled straight out of the movie Mean Girls. How do they watch that movie and think, "yeah! Regina George is a great role model!"
You mentioned that you went to Cancun last year. My husband and I were there for our honeymoon. What wonderful memories. 😊 We’ll be celebrating 30 years in October,
I think she usually does (and/or people who submit the stories include them), but she reads these stories for the first time in these videos so sometimes it gets missed unfortunately. :/ but commenting for engagement as I agree they are nice (especially since sometimes people talk about their specific disordered habits and that can be a real struggle)
Hannah I just want to say that you seem like a genuinely warm and kind person. That’s what makes these videos so relaxing and uplifting, despite the subject of the content being upsetting and disturbing. Keep up the great work, I’ve sent your videos to people who have started into MOMs before!
Yep. And shes gaining popularity fast because of it. The sour mean anti mlm creators may be funny sometimes (CC) but it's not someone or something you actually want to support.
A bad day turns into a good day when I see Hannah has uploaded a new video. 🥰💕 Always thankful for you being a bright spot in my life, and for the information you spread. ❤️ Keep doing the best work!
These vidoes are always the light of my day (especially cat cameos😍), but I just wanna say you are absolutely glowing in this video! First thing I noticed, absolute queen👑
Listening to story 2 got me wondering something. Just about every MLM seems to have a lower tier, say levels 1 to 5, and the upper tiers, 5-10. Many people seem to be blocked from getting above the level 5, no matter what they do. I wonder if internally, the company only has so many spots per upper level, and unless someone leaves, there's no way to get an upper slot. I'm sure the company won't allow or pay hundreds of people at say, level 8 or 9. That's an internal document I'd like to see, how many slots per tier.
I remember I signed up for Beachbody and I just thought it was a workout app lol got on it and realized all of these people were talking about selling these drinks and stuff and I was like oh hell no BYE got out of that real quick lol
37:00 for this scenario, it might be a good idea to also report them to somewhere that can check in on the child's safety and care, since the parent hasn't even taken the kid to get their health condition diagnosed. I think in Canada we call it child's and family services but I can't recall what it is the US right now.

Nice! I’m glad you got someone to help. We want to keep seeing you but not at the cost of you being tired.
Thank you Zeke for letting Hannah use your channel 😊❤
It's Zeke's world, we're just living in it. 🐈
😂
Zeke is a very benevolent cult leader
Lmaooooo
😂😍
I think I speak for everyone when I say you never have to apologize for Zeke. ❤
I truly listen for Zeke every episode, and that doesn't take away from the gravity of the stories for me at all.
Absolutely! Zeke is always welcome, especially when Hannah is reading a very harrowing or disturbing story.
I love the cat cameos!!
Yes. Zeke always seems to jump in at the right time for a kitty comfort fix during horror stories. 😻
Never. We’d be so worried if he didn’t feature.
I was an assistant branch manager for a national bank and pitching your MLM to a client is a guarantee to get fired immediately. It is a huge violation of trust. I can’t imagine any bank would not have the same strict policy on something like that.

That $300 non refundable down payment to attend Beachbody conferences is a real sinister move on the company’s part - how many people do you think get trapped in the sink cost fallacy trying to qualify to attend after paying that?
Buying a ton of product from yourself to gain points (or whatever) in order to qualify must be a lot of money on its own. And if uou fail to qualify in time? Sucks for you! You've now lost the down payment money, spent a ton of time and coin to rank up/gain points, and you've lost out on the trip.
Right?? I could not get over how slimy that was. They are just milking their reps for every penny they can.
The reality is that this $300 is covering the cost of the people attending the trip so the company probably pay very little overall.. This is a clever scam
I love when you address your cat in the "elementary school teacher" voice 😂 One educator to another I talk to my dogs the same way
Same😂
I no longer have pets because I would have trouble caring for them. I do miss their company.
I apparently use my ‘teacher’ voice on animals a lot.
Thanks Zeke for letting mom translate your anti-mlm views to us! We love your visits to make sure we know it is coming from you. 😻😹🐾🐈
When Hannah asked Zeke how he is doing, it sounded like he said "Well..." like he was gonna file a complaint 😅😅😅
I Loled at the advice of “giving favors to hubby” to get him to shut up. Who does that?!? I can’t even imagine saying that to an employee.
I know!
I literally cackled at that (because it was so unexpected!) and my 4-year-old daughter who’s playing on the floor, turned around and asked, “what’s funny, Mama?!”

"She literally said I should give him more b.... OH!.... ooohhhh..." that cracked me up 😆 @8:20
Realistically she could have said “blow jobs” as she was just reading what someone had written out.
Literally dead. And the second Oohhhh with the side eye and smirk. I watched her reaction like three times because I thought it was hilarious
I kept hearing my cats crying and spent about 10 minutes trying to figure out who was locked where. It was Zeke 😂

That poor girl with cerebral palsy. That’s straight abuse.
Came for the horror stories, stayed for Zeke
Let Him Speak!! Zeke's got great opinions on mlms

Years ago I remember buying BB products through -- was it Guthy Renker?? -- ads on TV. I think I still have my Yoga Booty Ballet DVD 🤣
There’s a ton of free workouts on UA-cam that you can find that are better. Beachbody has been known to also cause many injuries to people because of some of the weird moves they do. A lot of personal trainers actually don’t recommend beachbody. As a former trainer myself I’m horrified I did some of them. 😵💫 Autumns form just makes me cringe.
That's the hard part! I actually used to be an Insanity live instructor, and so many people love Insanity, they are like wait it's part of an MLM??? Shaun T seems like such a great human. If he left BB he could start his own platform and be so successful.
There are soooo many other services similar to beach body that aren’t an MLM. Peleton has new workouts all the time, something for everyone for 20$ CDN a month. Guided walks/runs, Pilates, yoga, strength, body weight, bootcamps and more.
As someone said, there are free youtube workouts (Heather Robertson comes to mind, i think that's the name) plus multiple apps that do the same thing. Peleton and Fiton come to mind. Fiton is free unless you buy Pro, which is $25 to $30 for the year, and Peleton is $12.99 for the month.
My holiday plans are clearing out my in-laws house before it's sold. At least they lived in a holiday town. Then in September my husband is taking me away to watchh cricket.
I also left a cult almost 10 years ago and I often think about how similar the tactics are that some of these MLM reps use, both to recruit people and keep them in their downline. So glad she got out and managed to stay away from that MLM!
Someone needs to report that mother to someone. That child needs a proper diagnosis. 😢
Zeke is the best. I love that you give him his time to shine.
"You can sit wth us" gave me a high school flashback, and not a pleasant one.
Hannah, I would love to see a deep dive of Shaklee. Some of my family members have recently joined... it's a hot mess. So many false health/ mental health claims. Thank you for all you do!!
Boosting this!!
I can't believe that I'm the first one here to listen to these stories. And of course, Zeke is the ultimate star of the show! :)
The plexus mum should be arrested for child abuse / negligence by not providing medical care needed but exposing the child to possible harmful supplements & essential oils while exploiting the poor child to promote her business
Omg, a Tampa trip!! Keeping my eyes peeled for content with Chelsea👀
But also, I hope you enjoy your vacation and have a relaxing time!!
Zeke knows he's famous and he's cashing in on it any given moment.
The top monat-er in my small town who “won” the white caddy has had to move on to another scam. They’re also dog breeding now. Never once seen her with a dog…doesn’t own a dog…but all of a sudden is selling $2500 designer dogs.
I saved up for YEARS and finally got to go to Scotland this summer XD It was so beautiful and man highland cows are SO CUTE❤
My daughter spent 3 months in London and was a docent at the Benjamin Franklin house. She took a trip to Scotland just for a few days. I envy both of you.
OK Hannah that segue into the sponsorship was SMOOTH lol and your explanation of the product actually made me want to check it out (which is super rare for me) love seeing you get sponsors!
I usually don't mind watching sponsorship part of UA-cam videos because I know I watch the videos for free and it's the least I can do to support the creator. If anything, it just adds my knowledge about various products available in the market. If the sponsorship is too much, or the video is too long for unnecessary content, I just skip the video and abandon the channel.
Working on my classroom all day today. You uploaded at JUST the right time!!
As soon as you know someone who goes into Beach Body, block them, ASAP!!! They will never stop bugging you about it. It's the most annoying thing ever. Great video, as usual!
I love Zeke because it makes me feel less alone over my screaming little demon of a cat ❤
4:22 Zeke actually said "hi" :D
Hannah reads a story about an opera singer.
Zeke: Hey! I'm an opera singer. 🎶MAWOOOOOOOWWWWW!! MRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRT!!🎶
It’s interesting to hear an opera singer talk about the group of people who give their attention only to the top earners in their downline. I’m a singer as well, and I’ve run into the exact same behavior in the opera and theatre worlds. I’m not saying every performer behaves that way, but it’s 100% a thing.
The "YOU CAN SIT WITH US!" perk sounds like it was pulled straight out of the movie Mean Girls. How do they watch that movie and think, "yeah! Regina George is a great role model!"
You mentioned that you went to Cancun last year. My husband and I were there for our honeymoon. What wonderful memories. 😊 We’ll be celebrating 30 years in October,
Dont apologize for zeke’s meows, we want more of them hehe
I’ve watched every single video on your channel more than twice, it’s so nice watching a brand new one.
zeke’s little meows warm my heart. what a cutie
HIIII ZEKE!! SO GLAD YOU UNDERSTAND HE'S THE REAL STAR! LOL. LOVE YOUR WORK HANNAH!!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Not me constantly pausing to check if that’s my cat mewing or Zeke 😅
Really enjoyed the unexpected bezos shade in story 2 😂 But seriously that letter was well written! Fascinating to hear from ex huns
I love your content, Hannah! Could I ask something of you? Would it be possible to start giving trigger warnings for Eating Disorders?
I think she usually does (and/or people who submit the stories include them), but she reads these stories for the first time in these videos so sometimes it gets missed unfortunately. :/ but commenting for engagement as I agree they are nice (especially since sometimes people talk about their specific disordered habits and that can be a real struggle)
@@isabellamorris7902 I love her content, but I can't continue to watch her videos without the trigger warning :/
I love zeke’s meows!!!
omgg using scents to mark a memory/trip is genius!! i’m getting into it
this came out at the perfect time for me to do my laundry lol!! love listening to these while doing chores ❤
Me too!!
It’s Zeke’s world, and we’re just living in it 😹
Hannah I just want to say that you seem like a genuinely warm and kind person. That’s what makes these videos so relaxing and uplifting, despite the subject of the content being upsetting and disturbing. Keep up the great work, I’ve sent your videos to people who have started into MOMs before!
Yep. And shes gaining popularity fast because of it. The sour mean anti mlm creators may be funny sometimes (CC) but it's not someone or something you actually want to support.
A bad day turns into a good day when I see Hannah has uploaded a new video. 🥰💕 Always thankful for you being a bright spot in my life, and for the information you spread. ❤️ Keep doing the best work!
From what I've understood about MLMs, they do have an impact on your finances. Only, negatively.
Being from Tampa, I think it's great that you are excited to visit.
Anti-MLM monday is the best way to stsrt the week.
Zeke!! I missed you 😻 Thank you so much for letting your mom use your platform to share stories and important information with us.
These vidoes are always the light of my day (especially cat cameos😍), but I just wanna say you are absolutely glowing in this video! First thing I noticed, absolute queen👑
Listening to story 2 got me wondering something. Just about every MLM seems to have a lower tier, say levels 1 to 5, and the upper tiers, 5-10. Many people seem to be blocked from getting above the level 5, no matter what they do. I wonder if internally, the company only has so many spots per upper level, and unless someone leaves, there's no way to get an upper slot. I'm sure the company won't allow or pay hundreds of people at say, level 8 or 9. That's an internal document I'd like to see, how many slots per tier.
As if playing at being BusinesswomenTM isn’t ridiculous enough, some are also playing at being celebrities. It’s so cringey I’m about to invert. 😬
Have you seen the Jessie Lee Ward videos? She calls herself the world's number one MLMer. She does coaching for $20,000 for a year. She is so cringy.
I remember I signed up for Beachbody and I just thought it was a workout app lol got on it and realized all of these people were talking about selling these drinks and stuff and I was like oh hell no BYE got out of that real quick lol
37:00 for this scenario, it might be a good idea to also report them to somewhere that can check in on the child's safety and care, since the parent hasn't even taken the kid to get their health condition diagnosed. I think in Canada we call it child's and family services but I can't recall what it is the US right now.
