Back in 2016, I met a woman named Josie Naikoi who was (as she puts it) a loud, proud, and successful multi-level marketer. What's interesting about Josie's story is that after making it into the upper echelon of multi-level marketing... At the height of her success, she quits. In today's episode, we’re going to explore what things actually looked like at the top of the MLM pyramid, the financials, and why a high earner would leave it all.
At seventeen, Master Gee (of the iconic Sugar Hill Gang) was offered a record contract that would change his life forever. As a result of signing on the dotted line, he became a global sensation, two-time platinum recording artist, and the group became the very first voices on a rap album… ever. It came with money, it came with fame, but as is so often the case in entertainment stories… the devil was in the details. After five years of touring and releasing albums, somehow a world-renowned artist was left with basically nothing... not even his name. In today's episode, we explore the inception of one of the biggest music genres and how a seven-teen year old kid fell into the industry and built himself back up.
