Joining me in this podcast episode are the phenomenal Mary Young, founder of Young Living Essential Oils, and the brilliant Gaya Samarasingha, who played a pivotal role in launching the fresh and vibrant new Direct Selling brand, Wyld Notes. These two inspiring women have come together to shake things up in a big way—and they’re doing it with style, passion, and purpose.

They’ve seen the challenges our industry faces—shifting times, struggling companies, the rise of affiliate marketing—and instead of sitting back, they chose to act. And get this: from concept to launch, they had Wyld Notes up and running in under six months. Talk about go-getters!

So grab a pen and notebook—there are so many golden nuggets in this one—and get ready to be uplifted, empowered, and maybe even a little awestruck. Let’s dive into the story of two women on a mission to elevate Direct Selling to a whole new level. Enjoy the episode!
