Episode 97: Dave Vaughan

This episode is sponsored by Smile Brilliant! For a limited time use code MLM for 20% OFF Smile Brilliants cariPROTM Dental Probiotics and their suite of dentist-grade oral care products.

Dave and I met back in the early days of the AntiMLM movement on Facebook. He was an avid commenter and follower and over the years became a great friends in the fight against MLMs. Dave sends me a lot of the content we react to on YouTube, and is a wealth of information and has been an instrumental help with the FTC ANPR. But with all this time and effort in the movement, I've never heard Dave's story, which comes from a very ernst place of love and compassion. It's understandable how going through an experience like that could lead you to where Dave found himself. And thank goodness for Save, because he is a wealth of MLM history and information!
