  • Jarrod Wilkins joins Stop The Amway Tool Scam Scott Johnson and Peter Mingils on Building Fortunes Radio

    Stop The Amway Tool Scam Scott Johnson and Peter Mingils talk with Jarrod Wilkins about MLM and The Primerica Lawsuit defendant Always Marco Moukhaiber.

    Jarrod Wilkins has a lengthy career in MLM and once spent some time "debating" Always Marco Moukhaiber. Jarrod Wilkins did as good as he could during that debate, but some people might find it hard to watch as Always Marco has limited knowledge about the topic and showed that most anti-mlmers just say "stupid" things with conviction.

    Some of the key aspects are when Jarrod mentions the stability of financial products and insurance type business models in the mlm industry, versus product only driven companies. This example shows how Marco Mooukhaiber's decision to "allegedly" harass and "expose" Primerica as a scam was doomed from the start.

    Now Marco Moukhaiber is facing the Canadian and the United States Legal system at least versus Primerica and one to up to a few more companies.

    On this Building Fortunes Radio show, we give Jarrod Wilkins the ability to talk without interruption.

    Listen in, and we'll have Jarrod Wilkins back.

    Stop the Amway Tool Scam – Scott Johnson on Building Fortunes Radio

    This video features Scott Johnson discussing his personal journey and the specific mechanics of the "Tool Scam" that he and Peter Mingils expose on their radio show.

    You can see more of what Scott Johnson has on https://www.facebook.com/stoptheamwaytoolscam

    The Amway tools scam is a hidden profit scheme within the Amway multi-level marketing (MLM) structure that exploits distributors, often leaving them with financial losses instead of the promised wealth. Amway, a well-known MLM company, markets health, beauty, and home products through independent business owners (IBOs). While the company emphasizes product sales, the real money for top-tier distributors, often at the Diamond level or above, comes from selling motivational "tools” like books, tapes, seminars, and rallies, not from product sales. These tools, promoted as essential for success, create a separate revenue stream that disproportionately benefits upline leaders while draining the profits of lower-level distributors.

    Distributors are pressured to purchase these overpriced tools, often costing hundreds or thousands annually, with promises of learning the secrets to building a lucrative Amway business. However, studies and lawsuits reveal that 99% of Amway distributors lose money, with average earnings below $100 monthly after expenses. The tools business, controlled by high-ranking distributors like Dexter Yager, generates millions for the elite, who earn significant markups on items like cassette tapes sold at rallies for up to $10,000 a night in cash. Meanwhile, new recruits face high startup costs—starter kits, training sessions, and product samples, further eroding their profits. This creates a pyramid-like structure where uplines profit from downlines' purchases, not retail sales, resembling an illegal scheme.

  • Stop The Amway Tool Scam Scott Johnson and Peter Mingils review The Happy Co decision to stop paying Commissions

    Stop The Amway Tool Scam Scott Johnson and Peter Mingils review The Happy Co decision to stop paying Commissions
    Mar 28 2026
    Loading… 0:00 0:00 Stop The Amway Tool Scam Scott Johnson and Peter Mingils talk about the decision that The Happy Co made to stop paying Commissions. The show covers a bunch of smaller topics including Scott's opinion on retail sales and undisclosed profits from tool sales. We have covered this on Building Fortunes Radio and on MLM News https://mlm.news The recent announcement regarding The Happy Co. (HCo.) has sent shockwaves through the direct selling industry, marking a somber chapter for a company once known for its focus on "elevating happiness." According to a detailed report from Business For Home, the company has officially suspended all Brand Partner activities and, most significantly, has ceased the payment of commissions on future orders. This move represents a total pivot in the company's operational structure, effectively removing the network marketing element that thousands of independent distributors relied upon for their livelihoods. The official communication, sent by CEO John "JT" Thatch, cites a series of operational hurdles that preceded this drastic decision. Over the last several months, the company struggled with out of stock products, logistics complications, and existing disruptions to commission payments. While the company expressed gratitude for the dedication of its field members, the immediate suspension of Brand Partner activities leaves many in a precarious position. The company plans to continue selling and servicing customers directly as inventory becomes available, but the incentivized sales force that built the brand is now being sidelined with nothing more than a 20 percent discount on future personal purchases. For the distributors, or Brand Partners, this news is devastating. Many of these individuals spent years of their lives and significant personal capital building teams and promoting the HCo. lifestyle. The reality of a "suspension of activities" in this context is that the business they built has essentially crumbled overnight. When a direct selling company stops paying commissions on future orders, the "asset" a distributor has built (their downline and recurring customer base) loses its financial value. This leaves leaders and newcomers alike in a state of professional mourning, as they watch their hard work evaporate due to corporate decisions entirely out of their control. The impact of this shift is being discussed heavily within the industry. Notably, Scott Johnson and Peter Mingils have taken to Building Fortunes Radio to discuss the implications of this news. Their commentary provides a broader look at the stability of the direct selling industry and the warning signs that often precede such a collapse. For distributors, listening to these industry veterans can offer a sense of community and much needed perspective on how to navigate the fallout of a company's sudden transition away from the network marketing model. What does this mean for the future of those affected? For many Brand Partners, the primary concern is the loss of residual income. In the world of network marketing, the promise of long term residual earnings is the primary motivator. With that promise now broken, many are left to figure out their next steps while dealing with the emotional weight of feeling abandoned by a company they supported through previous "logistics issues." Furthermore, the relationship between The Happy Co. and its parent companies, Sharing Services Global Corporation (SHRG) and DSS, adds a layer of complexity to the situation. As a subsidiary of larger corporate entities that have acquired various other legacy nutrition and travel brands, the shift at HCo. may be part of a larger strategic consolidation. However, for the individual distributor on the ground, the corporate strategy matters far less than the immediate loss of income and the cessation of a business partnership they believed was a long term venture. In review, the situation at The Happy Co. serves as a stark reminder of the risks inherent in the direct selling model. While the company aims to survive as a traditional direct to consumer entity, the bridge to its original ambassadors has been burned. Distributors are now faced with the task of rebuilding elsewhere, armed with the hard lessons learned from this sudden suspension. The insights shared by Scott Johnson and Peter Mingils on Building Fortunes Radio remain a vital resource for those looking to understand the "why" behind these events and how to identify more stable opportunities in the future. The "happy" era of HCo. as a network marketing powerhouse has come to a close, leaving a wake of disappointed partners and a cautionary tale for the entire industry.

  • Jean Luc And Peter Mingils talk about Trump dust up in Iran on Building Fortunes Radio

    Jean Luc And Peter Mingils talk about Trump dust up in Iran on Building Fortunes Radio
    Mar 28 2026
    Loading… 0:00 0:00 Jean Luc and Peter Mingils talk about Iran and end with The Jean Luc Method for learning French! Welcome back to Building Fortunes Radio, where we not only talk about building businesses and opportunities, but also about great things to enhance your life. The Tightrope in Tehran: Navigating the Trump Administration's Complex Iranian Conflict The Trump administration currently finds itself in a geopolitical maze as it navigates the ongoing conflict with Iran. This situation, which escalated dramatically in early 2026, has placed the White House in a position that is as strategically delicate as it is politically volatile. While the administration asserts that military operations are ahead of schedule, the ground reality reflects a multifaceted crisis involving regional stability, global energy markets, and a domestic public increasingly wary of another prolonged Middle East engagement. The Spark and the Strategy The conflict reached a fever pitch on February 28, 2026, when a series of joint U.S. and Israeli airstrikes targeted key Iranian military and political infrastructure. These strikes resulted in the death of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and other high ranking officials, a move intended to decapitate the regime's command structure and eliminate imminent threats to U.S. assets. From the White House perspective, the strategy is one of "maximum pressure" transitioned into "maximum kinetic action." President Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio have maintained that the objective is to conclude operations within weeks rather than months. The administration's goal appears to be a rapid degradation of Iran's nuclear and missile capabilities to force a favorable new diplomatic arrangement, often referred to as a 15 point plan. However, the assassination of top leadership has created a "negotiation vacuum." With the traditional power structure in Tehran shattered, the U.S. faces the awkward reality of having no clear, authorized counterpart with whom to sign a lasting peace treaty. The Economic and Regional Blowback One of the most immediate and "awkward" consequences of the war is the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. By blocking this critical artery of global trade, Iran has effectively held the world's energy supply hostage. This has led to the largest supply disruption since the 1970s, causing oil and gas prices to surge globally. For an administration that campaigned on economic prosperity and "America First" energy independence, the sight of rising domestic gas prices and global market volatility is a difficult pill to swallow. The administration has attempted to mitigate this by offering subsidized insurance for shippers and threatening strikes on Iranian energy sites if the strait is not reopened. Yet, every day the waterway remains contested, the economic pressure on the U.S. and its G7 allies increases. Furthermore, the regional fallout has strained the very alliances the administration sought to fortify. While Israel remains a steadfast partner in the military campaign, Gulf nations like Saudi Arabia and the UAE find themselves in the crosshairs. Recent Iranian missile strikes on U.S. bases in Saudi Arabia, which wounded several service members and damaged aircraft, highlight the vulnerability of regional partners. These nations are now caught between their security reliance on the U.S. and the immediate physical threat posed by Iranian retaliation. The Domestic Dilemma At home, the Trump administration faces a skeptical public. Despite the "tactical victories" reported by the Pentagon, polling indicates that a majority of Americans disapprove of the military strikes. The memory of "forever wars" looms large, and the administration's request for a $200 billion supplemental funding package has met stiff resistance in Congress. The political awkwardness is compounded by the administration's own rhetoric. President Trump has often criticized previous administrations for getting bogged down in Middle Eastern conflicts, yet he now finds himself presiding over a war that some analysts describe as the least popular at its outset in U.S. history. The challenge for the White House is to maintain a narrative of "strength and quick victory" while the costs, both in human lives and taxpayer dollars, continue to mount. The Search for an Exit Ramp The path forward is fraught with uncertainty. The administration has set various deadlines, most recently an April 6 cutoff, for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz or face further escalation. Behind the scenes, messages are being exchanged through mediators like Pakistan, but formal talks remain nonexistent. The "awkward situation" is defined by this paradox: the U.S. has demonstrated overwhelming military superiority, yet it is struggling to translate that power into a stable political outcome. Without a recognized Iranian government to negotiate with, and with regional allies feeling the heat of retaliation, the Trump ...
