Pouring out for Katie Zachariah, you guys.
President Trump's latest press secretary lasted a record-breaking five days on the job.
Along the way, we found out that she said she was an attorney, even though she never passed the bar.
But don't sleep on Zachariah's actual career as a multi-level marketer.
According to reporting in Wired, Katie was an affiliate marketer for a fitness MLM called Beachbody,
a company which she herself described to Wired as sort of a pyramid scheme.
Beachbody has been the subject of a class action lawsuit saying it scammed its coaches,
it's been accused of charging customer credit cards without consent,
and it has settled a $3.6 million consumer protection lawsuit in California.
But Beachbody is not the subject of today, explained from Fox, nor is Katie Zachariah.

Tell others to try and build up a side hustle.
And how those people who get convinced often end up feeling scammed.
We're going to hear from one in a moment.
