I know this is hypothetical, but if the community is important to it then why not find a platform such as Discord to continue it?
0:08 😂😂😂 I was like "Aw damn!" Happpy early AF April Fools😂
I want to hear from the people at the bottom
😂😂😂 you got me! That was so funny!! Love the clickbait! 😬😬
Aww they don’t get to automatically qualify for all the free trips, free time and income off my downlines work boo hoo shut it huns no one feels sorry for you you should be happy you got away with this for as long as you did!
He believes in this model? He believes this model is his only chance to turn his profits around.
It’s typical of a company to not give live call on this he has pre recorded a video to avoid seeing and having to deal with very upset leaders!
I like how they say their teams and communities are gone like all those people just died. They are still there, they can still support each other, they just aren't earning money from each other. Imagine being a low level distributor and hearing your upline act like you just vanished into thin air.
Ommmg !!! How dare he say those people wouldn’t be able to get healthy without BB! Im fuming!!! 😡
The thing that always got me about BODi is that they sell things you can find online for free. There are so many amazing workouts for free on YouTube and so many amazing videos on meal planning and learning about nutrition for free. I literally do my pilates at home for free and make my own smoothies for a fraction of the price of BODi. Just from a budgetary perspective, it makes no sense.
It’s so funny now to see all the BODi people that pushed shakeology and energize and their workouts all these years, sharing them every single day, now stop and start sharing other products. Like how disingenuous is that?! Plus they move to other companies and push the “affiliate model” when in reality it’s MLM. It’s like, K… BODi went legit affiliate and you left because you couldn’t “lead others” anymore (aka make money on others in your downline), but now you’re calling your new company an affiliate. I think not.
The girl toward the end who wrote her Bodi experience, something she said really had me scratching my head. I have a background in psychology and have studied personality traits/trauma/abuse, etc for over a decade. Her use of “trauma bond” is grossly incorrect. Taken from psychology today: “ A traumatic bond, or a "trauma bond," is an attachment formed between two people who unconsciously bond to each other based on shared trauma, which ultimately leads to relational betrayal and heartbreak.”
In her case, prior to leaving an mlm, the leader would pressure & talk down to their recruits making them feel awful. They in turn would work extra hard to try to gain back the kindness they used to receive. If they make the leader money then all is forgiven. The cycle would happen over and over with that trauma bond just getting stronger and stronger.
Or another example. My friend and I are trying to decide where to eat. I’m craving a salad and they want fish, I don’t like fish. The friend gets very angry, leaves, and ghosts me for days. I desperately want them to be nice to me so I make a huge show of apolozing by buying them an expensive gift they wanted and take them to a fish restaurant. Then everything is happy and rainbows for awhile until something happens again. The cycle continues and the trauma bond deepens.
Bonding over shared traumas can be a healthy experience. But getting Bodi people together for trauma bonding would mean they would all just end up traumatising each other to the point that it quickly escalates and takes over their lives. Hopefully she didn’t mean it that way.
Sorry for the rant. I feel bad for victims of abuse/trauma when terminology is used incorrectly by the abusers because it makes the actual victims feel invalidated. Stepping off my tiny soapbox ☺️
You had me nervous for a second!
Health + wellness MLMs are some of my least favorite for the same reason as yours. They are huge contributors to diet culture. I love your videos in these companies because you address that side! 😊
These people claiming to be so upset over losing their teams and their community…. You can still TALK to each other, you know! If you genuinely care about any of these people beyond the money you can make off their work, the company restructuring won't matter to you, because you'd just continue to call, text, and meet up in-person the same way you always have. Like, the whole thing is so weird, and just makes me feel like they're not sad to lose their "community", but their income stream those people created.
How rude! 😹 I was like…WAIT WAIT WAIT…NO NO NO!!! 🙀😸
Hes literally trying to say they did this because of a survey lol
I was WAITING for this video about Bodi! It's channels like yours that have opened the eyes of individuals who were brainwashed into joining these mlms. They got out and the business model can no longer sustain itself.
I love their “free earned trip” spiel. It’s not free. You have to pay travel expenses to get on the ship- whether you drive or fly and other expenses. Also does anyone else find it kind of weird that these MLM companies about health and fitness and beauty products have male CEOs/aPresident who are surrounded by all these women at conventions, trips, etc???
"you sneakyyyy mom!" — me, just now
Apparently Carl ditched the Porsche lease thing after a bunch of complaints.
Wow.. I like how he basically says "this was YOUR IDEA!" Way to gaslight your people Carl!
I cant wait till Usborne….sorry PaperPie???…..goes affilliate. Their product is actually fantastic and I would actually purchase
Seeing the title: Aww that's too bad, let's see what's up and cheer on her future endeavors.
First few seconds of the video: Ahh so it was bait…well, call me a fish because I like this video topic too!
OMG. The pearl party spoiled oysters purrson was really into Dia de los Muertos. Loved her shirt, then saw the figurines behind her. I want the mermaid one! 🙀😻
I’m so mad but also relieved 🎉🎉🎉 (jk about mad) 😂
Don't do that to us 😂
1:15:55 Bruh💀. How is that worth it for her?🤣
0:11 Ty goodness you are still going to stream!! 😂😂😂
❤❤adore you 🎉
To all the mlm whyyyners…..and that rude dude…bye Felicia 😢😢😢😅😅😅😅
I did not fall for the clickbait. I laughed at the title and wondered what shenanigans are afoot.
Holy moly!! I was shook! Well done 😅
Good cuz i need mote legacy builders and girl power content lol
I was bummed when I saw the title. I'm glad you're sticking around 😊
A normal company would be able to say "we're doing this to improve our profits" but Bodi just can't be honest, so they have to go "if things keep declining we won't be able to help people!!" I guess.
I also love how when he's discussing the survey on why people join Bodi, "making money" or "supplementing income" isn't even mentioned. Did they make it a multiple choice question without that as an option, or is he just ignoring people who answered that?
You scared me ♥️
