The Truth about the Pruvit Car Bonus!
What they DON'T want you to know!!! Listen to this before you lose yourself and so much more..... in my opinion.
All topics discussed on this podcast are of my opinion. Please don't send any hate to anyone associated with Pruvit or any other company. The best thing you can do to support them is to listen, be kind and connect them to resources so they can make their own decisions. Not everyone involved with an MLM is a bad person. They are very much a victim of their upline that has manipulated them to make money off of their time and effort, in my opinion. Everything shared in this video and on this account are protected under Fair Use. **
Debunking MLM "Facts"
