Giving back has become a healthy addiction for new mynt Purple Diamond Rob Sperry. Sperry, who became mynt’s first Blue Diamond just last month, explains, “The value of being a giver rather than a taker in life has transformed our business from a standard network marketing company to a culture of young enthusiastic markets who are making a difference in the industry.

“The movemynt really is about people getting together all over the country with an excuse to have some fun and make a difference.

by Ted Nuyten • • 0 Comments
When it comes to life’s unexpected challenges, Blue Diamond Yasuko Takakura of Japan is a shining example of triumph in the face of adversity.
When her husband passed away unexpectedly a few years ago, Yasuko was forced to take over his company, and the massive debt that came along with it. To live within her new means, she sold off nearly everything and moved into a one-bedroom apartment alongside her daughter.
She struggled for months until one day, when her friend Hitomi Shinzato approached her with a business opportunity from a company called Talk Fusion. Hitomi was experiencing newfound personal success as she shared the company’s innovative video communication products and business opportunity around Japan.
“I didn’t even have enough money to start,” Yasuko said. “I borrowed from Hitomi. She believed in me and made it a point to teach me everything about the business. I owe so much of my success to her.”
With Hitomi’s help, Yasuko began sharing Talk Fusion with her family, friends and colleagues. Even as a relationship marketing newcomer, Yasuko began paving a real path to financial freedom while helping other women in situations much like her own to do the same. As her team grew, so did her

Krystal and Brett Williams – mynt Hit Ruby Executive
by Ted Nuyten • • 0 Comments
Krystal and Brett Williams from Corona, California, USA hit the rank of Ruby Executive in mynt.
This inseparable couple gives us a glimpse into what makes them tick.
You can just feel their passion and drive; it’s the kind of vibe that just lets you know they will continue in their success.
They know what they want and have a plan; they just needed the right vehicle to get there, and they found it with mynt.
mynt rewards based on effort
Krystal and I…we both work full-time jobs. We take our daughter to daycare every morning at 7 a.m., prior to pre-school starting. After pre-school, she goes to afterschool care until we can make our way back from work, which is usually around 6 p.m.
This is our current routine, but it is temporary. Our ultimate goal is to take back control of our lives so that we can determine how much money we make, when we take vacations, and how much family time we can spend together.
Once our mynt income exceeds the income from both our full-time jobs, we’ll leave those jobs and focus solely on the mynt lifestyle. And, for us, that means time freedom, financial freedom, and lots of quality time
