alright
everyone we're gonna go ahead and get started thank you
so much for taking the time out of your busy schedule to be on this call, I
apologize for the short notice
we've actually been working on the details of this announcement
for quite some time now and we finally have it all figured out
and we are so excited to share with you what what we are going to be talking
about
today so thank you for being on the call
and as promised we have some really big news and some really exciting things
to talk about and I'm just going to turn the time over to Sean to share a couple of things with you
so team just a couple of housekeeping things
the call will be recorded and so you'll be able to
get a copy of the recording we will post it will come out an email later on
so you'll have all the ability in the world on this call out to your teams and
share as much as you need to know
wanted to just talk a little bit about
thanks really in large part you guys we
have been blessed we have grown as a company
we had no idea when we started this out of our basement
well really Annelise did, I was at work
you know 3-4 I guess it's almost been five years now
that this was going to turn into a multi-million dollar company we
just had no idea
and it's just been an exciting journey and
as we've started to really grow thanks in large part
all of your efforts and all of your work we recognized
Fully that Annelise and I have
very little to do with it at this point it's really all about you and what you
do
and we're grateful everyday for that and we're growing fast we've always felt in
the back of our minds that
this concept was so great that the message of infinite worth was so important
and
that Annelise's story gave hope and dreams to people
that, you know we're just trying to get it out
trying to find a way
that we knew we could do something great so we decided
to really start looking in for ways to pour
some fuel on the Mialisia fire and really take it to that next
effort and explode it and to do that we need to get some resources
yeah we kinda discovered that when you're building a brand new company
it takes a significant amount of investment and capital
and resources and you know to really take it
that next level and we found that we haven't been able to give you
everything that we want to give you to help you be more successful and to help
Mialisia grow faster
and as you guys could imagine
there's a lot that goes into that so I'm going to tell you
what our announcement is here in a second, but before
I do, I just wanna share with you some other things that have been going
through our
discussion minds, hearts Annelise and I, Brandi and others we've talked around
and sat around at the office and talk about these things
and one of the biggest things that we've noticed in the last several months
is that party plan is evolving
it up still they're always be
a need and the desire to get together and to share something like this great
concept to do great things
but it's evolving right we've seen titans in the industry go out of business
from you know some of these big ones just a couple recently
and we really look hard at what happened what were they doing what could they
have done better
where they changing and evolving too fast they needed to so we're trying to
be forward thinking in that area and say
what do we need to evolve in and as you all know we're working very diligently
on the confidence social selling
having a virtual platform to be able to do parties online
we also know that there is a big need for party but that
we have to change with the times we have to evolve
and that doesn't mean we get rid a party so please don't misunderstand what I'm
saying but it simply means
it that we're we're have to pay attention to what's going on in the
industry
the other thing that we've noticed you know there is a big big thing
is that women still get really really excited about our concept there's an
education thing there
they have to see it and when they do they go crazy they they're they're like
oh my gosh
I've not ever worn jury before I've needed to wear jewelry and now I can
and and then the third thing that we really felt strongly about
is we need a bigger platform a wider platform
so that you all can be successful and find the
happiness and excitement and whatever your why is why you join Mialisia
family at a faster rate
we've got to do a better job at pouring that fuel on the fire so that you can
get
to your goals and dreams quicker and not feel
stagnant or stale and so we've got several strategies that you'll be seeing
come out in the near future
virtual party platform to
lots of other ideas where we come out with new jewelry more frequently and more often
and retire pieces to keep demand high and excitement high
you're gonna see a lot of stuff come now having said that
we went out and looked for a partner we started
interviewing people that wanted to help us achieve those goals and
we got in front of everybody from investors to
groups and somewhere along
the line we on came across Youngevity
now let me tell you about Youngevity because you're probably going
who is Youngevity and you might even be saying to yourself
why in the world I think Youngevity if I know them
that their you know a traditional multi-level marketing company so why
would that make sense
Youngevity shared with us when we first met them, Annelise and I did about
their vision
they shared that they were trying to build a family brand
that they weren't looking at buying companies and dissolving them
but they were looking at buying brand and expanding those brands and helping
those companies become bigger and better than they are
in their current model and their current way of doing things
and their current concept so in other words they were
you know not trying to buy an oil company and turn it into
like a Youngevity company they were protecting that brand
and trying to help them expand it be better than they are
Annelise and I were intrigued by this because we know of the success of
Amazon
which is essentially the same business model but on an internet platform
and thought well somebody's gonna do that for direct sale that could be the
solution
to making sure that people have the ability
to have multiple streams of income which is what so many of you
are looking to do another thing we saw was a lot of our
field reps were out there doing multiple things
so they were doing you know things like from other companies or trying to
you know work part time jobs than we thought why are they doing that
and what could we do to provide them an opportunity to have multiple streams of
income
and again this answer of Youngevity came up we were intrigued by them we
start meeting with them
and yesterday we signed a deal to become part of the Youngevity family
now who is Youngevity again they're an 18-year-old company
they've been around the block they know what they're doing their
sales have been growing and booming over up sixty percent growth just last
year there
150 million and growing they did over 45 million in the first quarter
they're having a lot of success and their
having a lot of success from the diversity these brands they have a
hundred and fifty thousand
distributors in multiple countries across the world
it allowed us a Mialisia family to instantly be in those markets from the
UK
to Australia to you name it there there they have a presence in a lot of
these places
which is exciting and fun, they also have product line
that you might or might not be familiar with that can
be something of interest to us
things like botanical spa, heritage makers
mineral makeup collection
you know coffee, essential oils. they have a lot of different things that are at
their
disposal which is really really great
Annelise - "Awesome, so you know
of course for me it was really important that we made
a good business decision with what we were doing with Mialisia
but more importantly it was
so incredibly important to me that it felt right
in my heart and you now Sean and I put a
ton of thought and prayer
in to this and and we did not make that decision lightly
we really really feel like this is a huge blessing and it this is an
incredible opportunity that has been
you know put in our path and we are
so excited about it and we feel absolutely that this is the right move
for us
I have complete peace
and complete confident that this is a great direction
for us to be moving. As we've met with the rest of the
family of Youngevity the people that we've met and associated with
up until this point, I love. I am so excited they have an incredible culture
they are
good people with great integrity they have
a great culture within their company and they are so excited
dig in and just help us grow
I mean how amazing is it that we just have this
incredible team backing us now. Now we have a huge
marketing and sales department to support us and we have a huge
IT Department to support us. we have our own warehouse that gonna support us
we have so many incredible resources
at our fingertips and they just want to help Mialisia grow
and so it's so exciting
and the best part is we get to be Mialisia
you know don't be afraid because we are still Mialisia we get to keep
our identity and that was the only way I would have agreed to do this
you know
and that was one of the first questions that they asked Sean and I are
you gonna stay with this
are you gonna be the brand ambassador and keep Mialisia alive
and of course our answer was absolutely
so it goes both ways there you know we are still
Mialisia we will remain Mialisia our brand our product we will keep our
website
we will have our own catalog we will have our promo and special
and we will be Mialisia we'll still
retain our mission of sharing the infinite worth message with
everyone and one of the most exciting things for me is that now
we have the opportunity to share our infinite worth message
around the world and that really
really is what got me the most excited because you all know that is
that is my why that is why I do this that I think it is so incredibly important
and now we have this huge stage and have the opportunity to share
with hundreds of thousands of people overnight
and I feel like we would have got their on our own eventually but why not
tomorrow instead
and so on so it's so exciting you know
where the same but now we
have support an expertise in the industry we have
people we have buying power we have everything that comes with a
well-established company
but we're still Mialisia and
that's not going to change our culture will not change Sean and I will be here
right at the top of the company and guiding your every step
I'm still designing all the jewelry I'm still gonna have a
say in everything that happens with Mialisia, we're very much at the
forefront of this and we are here for you and it is
so exciting to finally have the support that we need to give you
the success that you deserve." Sean - " and not only when they asked Annelise and I if we're
gonna stay involved in the company
did we say yes we said will do even better than that
we wanna be in the field and so we are movin
into the field and we are going to be your upline
we're gonna be there we're going to be there to support you were gonna be there
to help you
we're gonna help you train were gonna help you evolve, we're gonna leverage
you
as leaders and as designers to help
us make impact but a lot of positive things are going to happen from that
and we're excited to be there right alongside on this journey
Annelise and I did not have to do that that is something that we wanted to do
is something that we chose to do
and it's something that quite frankly we don't want to miss out on the
opportunity that you all have we want to be a part of it
so we're gonna join you side by side and I think that
really important to note I don't know too many other companies that get
merged or purchased where the founders of the company
don't go off and sit and drink Mai Tai's on the beach in Maui
that not what we are at about and you'll see that we're gonna
we're gonna dig in and we're gonna follow this Dream and we're gonna make
it happen."
Annelise - " Yeah we are excited that like we have never been that before how aweomse do not
not have to worry about all the back
end details, that's what I'm most excited about it just to get out there
and do what Sean and I both love is just be with you and help you and help
develop leaders
and
work with you side by side to
build this dream. We I hope you can tell and you can hear it in our voices
how excited we are
for this opportunity to see you be successful and to help you
reach that. okay I'm sure your heads are spinning
This is a lot of information and this is a big big
announcement I know you probably have a ton of questions as do we
we're going to be a learning a lot over the next couple of months as we
transition and merge
into that Youngevity family
we're actually working on an FAQ document that we will release
probably tomorrow sometime probably tomorrow afternoon
we're gonna put as much information as we can in out probably just the basic
outline
and you know you're just gonna have to be patient with us, bear with us
as we go through this process because we're learning stuff every day
as we're working on at transitioning over and so we will update that FAQ
constantly as we learn you will learn we will keep you in the loop."
Sean - " We'll have regular calls we'll do a lot of this, let me just go through a quick overview of what's
happening and what's going to be done
you might ask the first thing you might be asking yourself well
I just want to sell Mialisia jewelry do I have to sell all those other products?
no you don't you can keep doing business just like you doing today
keep holding parties keep selling the jewelry you have a bunch of new jewelry
that getting ready to come out
hope you're excited about that if you're thinking about going to founders forum
you haven't registered yet in Vegas
now would be a good time to get that done you are not going to want to miss
this meeting
not just for the training that you're going to get at Mialisia not just for
all the new
jewelry that you're gonna see not just for the exciting training you're gonna
see on this
on social selling platform that we're going to launch
but if that's not enough you're gonna learn have opportunities to learn if you
so choose
about some of the other products especially that you can consume if you
so choose
or if you want to sell them up absolutely create other streams of
income that I'll be there."
Annelise - "Can I just say we do have limited space
at the forum and it pretty limited so what you are wanting to come
I would and I'm not just saying this as a plug for forum. Like you're gonna want
to get registered as quickly as possible
because those spots are going to fill up and it may get to the point where we
have to turn people away just because we're limited on the amount of space
that we have, so hurry and get signed up for that."
Sean- " I wanted to read you a message I just got
this got announced on the stock exchange Youngevity is a publicly traded company
stock symbol is YGYI and they
are on they had to do a press release out to the market this morning about
Mialisia
I got this message from
just one of their consultant that basically started watching our videos
and got excited about the concept that she said so far in the first half
an hour since I've posted the link
I have had everybody from eleven-year-old to 50-year-old's freaking out
wanting one
I see we are lucky to have Mialisia in the family
when can we get your product question mark question mark
so I just wanna be remind you that the concept and jewelry are
awesome and that you know to keep up the faith and to keep working and that
this thing's gonna go
gonna go fast and we're excited we want you to be a part of the journey
so let me recap a couple of things one
Mialisia has been acquired by Youngevity and now we are officially a
member of their family of brands
number two Mialisia as it is today will remain intact
your team will remain intact everything is business as usual right now so don't
worry about anything your website all work your back offices work
you can do everything you need to do it we need to close out take advantage of those
promotions in May and June let's get going
close out those months strong. You will not be required to purchase
or sell Youngevity products, you don't have to do that
so don't worry about that okay you can do that
if you so choose, your Mialisia websites will not change
our advertised customer promotion host promotions and designer promotion
are going to continue we will still be holding
our forum in July in Vegas we'll still be launching new products that those
at that forum and you're going to want to see them
we've had a few of our leaders see them and the feedback has been outstanding
so make sure you're there. There will be a new catalog
at forum. This catalogue will be an exciting thing
and you're gonna want to get your hands on it and
um I think that capped everything Honey, what else."
Annelise - "Basically business as usual , nothing about the way you're doing business is
changing right now
you're hosts, customers and team members will have the exact same
experience with Mialisia today as they will tomorrow
so no stress eventually some things will change
and we're gonna have to migrate into their compensation plan at some
point and their IT systems for example
but for right now it's business as usual and
and so don't stress about that so like I said before we realized that the biggest
announcement
and the change even good change can be a little bit
scary for some but you know what change is a beautiful thing
and it can be exciting and invigorating and
so fun and so you know we realize that they're gonna be a lot of question
and that you're gonna have and a rollercoaster emotions and that kinda
settled in and you can wrap your brain
around about what's happening here but we want you to know
that we are here for you we
appreciate you. we consider you our partners you guys have been here

to help you be successful
because you deserve it and you've earned it and we're gonna be by your side
helping you through this and giving you the best opportunity
that we can to make that happen so I want you to remember a couple of things
