## Resource

"How is this legal?" That question has been haunting host Jane Marie since the day she started researching Multi Level Marketing seven years ago. Since then, it feels like every company, industry or product she looks into is a scam. Let's be clear, they often are. This week, she stares straight into the Ivy League Bro eyes of private equity, looking for an answer to that same simple question that's been pin-balling around her brain for seven years. Comic, writer, podcaster (and more!) Meredith Lynch has been following private equity money for years and this week she and Jane will try to untangle the mess this shady industry has made of pretty much everything it's touched. It's coming for all of us. We might as well try to understand what the hell it is. Find Meredith at: https://www.meredithlynch.com/ IG & TikTok: @meredithmlynch Hosted on Acast.
