This episode started off as a bit of MLM News I was planning to mention in the next episodes housekeeping. I hadn't heard too much about Sipology, but as I started to gather information to share about it's closing, I began learning about a much more interesting story; the Rise and Fall of the little Canadian Tea MLM that could. From humble beginnings out of loss, to the meteoric rise to the United States, this is a story you've probably never heard.

While in the middle of a Patreon live chat, I was sent a link to an article on Behind MLM about an alleged AI Generated Crypto Adjacent Pyramid Scheme making the rounds. At first, I was just trying to understand how it worked and how Crypto was involved, if at all. But after days of reading blog posts and watching AI slop disguised as training videos, I sat Mr. F down to make sense of it all; what we found opened up more questions than answers in a scammer's paradise ripe for the picking. Plus, housekeeping about Forever Living closing down their US market.

In our travels around Southern California, Mr. F and I run into a lot of interesting places, and Ontario has been no exception! Not only is it the home of Chick Publications who make those delightful little tracts we sometimes read, but it's also home to the MLM Vida Divina, which I had never heard of until now. I cannot tell you how many times we've randomly driven past their building and never truly noticed it until one day we both saw it for what it was; culty and out of place. Obviously, we had to find out more, and while this is our first dive into the company and it's cohorts, it definitely won't be the last.
