From Living Room Presentations to the House Floor: Why Direct Sales Needs a Seat at the Table

by  •  • 0 Comments

OPINION | By Ryan D. Chamberlin, Member of the Florida House of Representatives and 30-Year Direct Sales Industry Veteran
In 1993, at the ripe old age of 19, I attended my first network marketing meeting. Like many people walking into their first presentation, I expected one of two things: either I’d discover the greatest business model ever created—or I’d learn how to politely escape a living room without making eye contact.
What I didn’t expect was that it would make perfect sense.
There was no lightning bolt. No choir singing in the background. No dramatic slow-motion handshake. Just a simple realization: this model worked. It empowered ordinary people to do extraordinary things, and it did so through relationships, initiative, and leadership—not corner offices or corporate titles.
That meeting didn’t just change my career. It changed my trajectory.
Over the next 25 years, I built teams across the country, served on corporate boards, and had the privilege of helping grow companies at the highest levels of the industry. I saw firsthand the life-changing impact direct sales could have—not just financially, but personally. Confidence was built. Leaders were formed. Families were strengthened.
But somewhere along the way, I realized something else.
Growth alone wasn’t enough.

Idaho Falls, ID – 7K Metals today announced a strategic transition from a network marketing model to a direct retail and affiliate-driven model.

USANA’s Kevin Guest Urges Leaders to Use Reading as Competitive Advantage in National Reading Month

by  •  • 0 Comments

Salt Lake City, UT – As businesses navigate accelerating change and increased market pressure, USANA Health Sciences, Inc. (NYSE: USNA) Chairman and CEO Kevin Guest is spotlighting a powerful leadership tool during National Reading Month: disciplined, intentional reading.
National Reading Month, observed in March to promote literacy and lifelong learning, often emphasizes youth engagement. Guest believes its value extends far beyond the classroom and into the executive suite.

“Reading stretches your thinking. It challenges assumptions, builds clarity, and sharpens your ability to communicate. Those are leadership skills,”

said Guest, bestselling author of All the Right Reasons: 12 Timeless Principles for Living a Life in Harmony.
While some professionals may view the heightened focus on reading as routine, Guest argues the increased emphasis this month delivers measurable returns that compound over time. He calls reading “essential training for the executive mind,” strengthening mental discipline, improving analytical ability, expanding imagination, and boosting memory.
One clear value of reading, Guest highlights, is that studying and internalizing principles strengthens character and changes destiny.
In All the Right Reasons, Guest reflects on Benjamin Franklin’s commitment to tracking and living his core values.

“By writing, prioritizing, tracking, and clarifying his core values, Franklin understood them better and developed a path for integrating them
