## Resource

Are MLMs and real estate teams really predatory — or is that narrative oversimplified? In this episode, Stacy sits down with luxury real estate leader Lacey Newman to unpack hustle culture, independent contractor status, women and wealth, and what actually makes a business ethical. If you’ve ever questioned MLMs, entrepreneurship, or your own worth tied to productivity, this episode offers nuance, honesty, and a fresh perspective.
