Episode 321 : The High Priestess of Pink - Part 1

Nic is back and we're here to deep dive into the life and legacy of Mary Kay Ash, the founder of one of the oldest MLM companies. The story that is told to consultants and regurgitated over and over at events about Mary Kay's life and the founding of the company? Turns out, it's not true. Nic has come with the records and receipts as we go through the fabrications surrounding her origin story, and the truth about her multiple marriages. Our conversation also highlights the eerily similar connections between Mary Kay and other more recent MLM founders, the nepotistic cronyism in the family business, and the crumbling feminist facade of her company.
