Pyramid schemes can be easy to fall into. Especially if a trusted face is promoting the brand as a spokesperson. Back in 2016, Drew Brees' promotion of AdvoCare, short for Advocates Who Care, was all some fans needed to sweeten the deal. When Brees came forward with his promotion for the brand, he did so with immense enthusiasm. However, his deal with the company ended up leading to some controversy with a few million dollars on the line.

Orchestration is a key strategy for solving the sales pipeline challenge. Three proven steps enable successful execution and engagement w

Photo: Max Spoilers follow for the miniseries Full Circle , which premiered its final two episodes on Max July 27.  Wouldn't you know it: In its final episode, Full Circle comes full circle. The limited series begins and ends with two images: a framed, Picasso-esque painting sitting in overgrown grass and a sun-faded billboard advertising "a life of luxury" at the tropical Colony at Essequibo resort.
