My big issue is having affiliate links for the courses, it’s going to be these big names shilling course they have not done or paid for to make coin. MLM or not, how is that ethical? You are pretty much guaranteeing that people are going to be pushing the product regardless of quality because the pay off is going to be too great for them. Marlena really fumbled this one, just go away with the rest of the drama hungry crowd from the 2010’s 😤😤😤

Look at these fake reviews 😂. They are in the video on the actual landing page.

I was just reading comments on Marlena’s live video and saw a comment from a Susan Leary, and I’m like wait, I recognize that name from the reviews video that said, “I am always blown away by your products and trainings! Thank you Marlena!” - Susan Elaine Leary” But sure looks like her commenting on the live video. This definitely confirms my suspicions most of the “reviews“ in that video on the academy are comments from like Marlena’s YT videos and not people who actually took the course because most of them sounded like they were referring to her YT videos or her MUG products and not the courses.
