Who Needs Online Dating When You Have Network Marketing?

It wasn’t a dating game, but for Kelly Vincent and Tina Malsom… Network Marketing brought more than business — it brought love, purpose, and a legacy.
The story began on May 16, 2014, at a Dallas convention. Tina, a single mom on a mission to conquer the network marketing world and the top female income earner in her company, walked into the event with her signature confidence and energy. Standing at the entrance, greeting attendees as if they were lifelong friends, was Kelly — a seasoned entrepreneur and leader who had already carved out success in multiple companies.

Kelly had originally come to evaluate the company Tina was representing, but over the course of three days, something bigger was unfolding.

Kelly grew up in Southern California,
