Update: A Message from Dave Asprey
I struggled greatly with whether or not I should have Jordan on the podcast. On one hand, he chose a business model, multilevel marketing, that is inherently slimy. I’ve seen multilevel marketing destroy families and some even use cult techniques.
In fact, I spent an hour on the phone with Jordan discussing his business model before I even decided to schedule the podcast.
I believe him when he says he is doing his best to create a sustainable business that is not slimy. I do not know if it is possible to make a multilevel marketing company that is not slimy. I hope he succeeds in doing that.
What I do know is that he has created the most perfect dairy I have ever found, and his soil based organisms and other fermentation techniques meet bulletproof standards. No one else’s products have come close.
You don’t have to “join” in order to simply order products. I don’t even recommend you join. I don’t think you should look at this as a way to make a lot of money by converting all of your family and friends and whoever else you might meet at a bus station.
So there you have it. I never thought there was a chance I would recommend anything from a multilevel marketing company, but there are very valid reasons for doing it here, and I believe it was right thing to do.
