The Dream

It's science season! I made that up, but after talking to physicist Dr. Liam Bollmann-Dodd on last week's episode, this week host Jane Marie sits down with Dr. Chem Thug, a PHD chemist trying to do the good work of explaining chemistry online to the rest of us online in ways that we can actually understand.

In honor of the newest member to host Jane Marie's family, a little munchkin born over the weekend, this week we're revisiting Episode 2 of The Dream Season 1.

Jane takes us back to her hometown, Owosso, MI as we get to know the town and people that helped shape her award winning career in journalism. Along the way, we also get a glimpse into her family's history with Multi Level Marketing.

The Dream (we're back!) host Jane Marie talks to former MLM devotee and current anti MLM crusader, Erin Bies, about the state of the MLM industry and the work Erin is now doing to take it down. And you might just learn a little something about exogenous ketones along the way....
