Two of my favorite things are social selling and true crime. So when I came across Mackenzie Fultz, aka Freedom Barbie, I knew I HAD to have her on the show! She combines makeup and true crime in the best way. Mackenzie is a private investigator by day — or sometimes by night— and also runs a successful Seint business and has even been recognized for her sales and recruiting. What is her strategy? What is her secret? Well, it may surprise you! Listen in to how this highly entertaining private investigator accidentally joined a direct sales company, and created a life she loved. While your day job may not be as exciting as hers, there’s so much we can learn from Mackenzie about serving your audience with authenticity.
