DSN is known for its laser focus on educating and providing value to the executives that lead the channel through reputable, trustworthy journalism and the research they need to future-proof their businesses. But we also recognize and admire the tenacity and contributions of the field. Distributors are the heart, soul and lifeblood of the channel. They’ve taken a leap of faith and built their own businesses by sharing products and services they love.

With that in mind, we are excited to announce the newest addition to our family of podcasts, Direct Selling Shift, hosted by Blake Mallen, which launches this month.

The Shift expands the DSN brand in a new direction by actively engaging directly with the channel’s largest audience…distributors, consultants and promotors for the first time. The launch of this podcast brings the visibility, credibility and reach of DSN to the distributor community. A special, sneak peek will debut Wednesday, September 13, then new episodes will drop every other Monday beginning September 18.

Direct selling is in a constant state of rapid change. There is a real need for new solutions to the complex dynamics and problems facing the industry.

This is the specific need that The Shift is uniquely positioned to fill. As Host Blake Mallen explained, “My goal for The Shift is to offer a safe and inspiring environment where direct selling high performers and experts can openly share their most powerful shifts helping to accelerate their business and our channel today.”

About The Host

Blake, a billion-dollar brand builder and community marketing expert, is the perfect person to bring this content to fruition. With over two decades of field ownership and executive experience in the direct selling industry, Blake is passionate about the power of potential and works with companies and communities to make the shifts needed to discover and develop theirs.

A Powerful Platform

Making The Shift a part of the DSN media family of podcasts, print and digital publications and research initiatives also gives DSN an opportunity to connect directly with a global audience of distributors. Executives around the globe already look to DSN for trends, news, predictions and insights into the channel’s future. The launch of The Shift brings the same resources to the field.

As DSN Founder and CEO Stuart Johnson explained, “We will be celebrating our 20th anniversary next year. And for two decades we have taken our commitment to direct selling and the executives that lead it very seriously. It’s always been my goal for DSN to share stories of companies doing things the right way; leading by example; exploring new technologies; and acting with integrity. We also want to share those same types of stories but with a field focus. The Shift is the best way to help anyone in direct selling—from new distributors to seasoned leaders—learn, grow and thrive in a rapidly evolving environment. I have no doubt this podcast will quickly become a go-to resource for independent distributors in today’s digital world of direct selling.”

It’s a sentiment shared by Blake. “Whether they are utilizing a more traditional approach or embracing the affiliate model, it’s my hope that the listeners and I will learn best practices together in a fun and accessible format. I can’t wait to get the discussion going and build a thriving community through this podcast!”
