• Stay-At-Home Mom Drama: Getting Pulled into an MLM

  "It started on Instagram. This woman commented on my photo about a breakfast shake, 'Way to go mom!' For the next month, on every picture, she'd comment something smart underneath it. That turned into her reaching out to me. Next thing you know, I ended up getting sucked into her pyramid scheme. I spent so much money. I got suckered into buying the powder and the DVDs..."

• Getting Professionally GHOSTED

  On this episode of I CAN'T HUSTLE ANY HARDER THAN THIS, we talk with Matt Reiners, an experienced entrepreneur and salesperson. We talk about where he's gotten some great ideas, how he developed his companies, LinkedIn, startup culture, sales, silent discos, and, our favorite topic...GHOSTING.  When Matt was 22, he was a "glorified personable robot" Fortune 500 company doing telemarketing sales. Around that time, a friend approached him with the idea to start a silent disco company and Matt realized that this was a unique opportunity to do something new.  "I called my leads within five minutes," he explains. "Speed to lead!" Matt is incredibly experienced in sales and has come to realize that sales is about forming relationships and how great sales CAN be when done with the best intentions. "When I was first introduced to sales, it was a very shady view of it. I was told, 'if you can't book them, just confuse them.'"

• "I was in a business cult!" PART 2 with Anna Failla

  WOW. We had so much fun interviewing Anna about her experience in #DevilCorp that we knew we had to do it again! Before tuning into Part Two, check out Part One. Shortly after graduating college, Anna was offered a job with a "marketing company" who promised that, if she worked hard enough, she could one day become a BUSINESS OWNER! We also talked about Sarah Edmondson's book, SCARRED, and everything she's done to get people out of NXIVM. Mike Rinder, rest in peace, was also mentioned, from his time in Scientology and trying to help people leave the cult. As you may have guessed, that didn't exactly pan out. Join us as we hear more about Anna's wild ride.

• The MYTH of the $100k Month

  On this episode of I CAN'T HUSTLE ANY HARDER THAN THIS, we talk with Leah Steele of Searching for Serenity about #burnout , #entrepreneurship , and the myth of the six-figure month (at least how many business owners describe it!) As Leah says on her site, "I am a reformed stress addict, former insomniac, running a constant inner monologue of stress and distress. Exhausting was the defining word of my life." You can read more at https://www.searchingforserenity.co.uk/about-leah or on her Instagram at leahsteeleuk We dive into why so many #business owners promote #marketing techniques that mislead their audiences, and why it's a slippery slope. Plus, we talk about how maxing and relaxing by the pool isn't so relaxing if you're photographing the whole thing for social media.

• "I was in a business cult!" PART 1 with Anna Failla

  "It turned out that there wasn't an apartment for each of us, paid for by the company, like they said there would be. There were four of us, sleeping on air mattresses, in a one-bedroom apartment." Join us as we talk to Anna Faila about her experience in a business cult, "DevilCorp," (real name changed, of course) during her early 20s. When Anna and I first started talking about entrepreneurship, I had no idea that our discussion would lead here, but I knew immediately we needed to bring her on the podcast. This was the wildest interview we've done yet and we loved it so much, we're bringing Anna back for a second one!
