More Episodes

For today's episode, we're extremely excited (and very lucky!) to have former LuLaroe trainer Roberta Blevins on the show to give us a peek into the wild and weird world of legging-related pyramid schemes. You may recognize her name from a recent Bloomberg News article detailing exactly how the wheels are coming off that particular MLM. Join us as we learn about mold-covered leggings, poop-filled swimsuits, and much more. This is the first part of a two-part episode focusing on the decline and fall of Lularoe, so make sure you catch part two as well
