About Jill Katzenberg: Jill Katzenberg is a gratitude consultant who believes success in network marketing begins with genuine connection. She guides entrepreneurs to use gratitude as their greatest tool, transforming simple acts of kindness into stronger relationships, bigger opportunities, and lasting impact. For Jill, gratitude isn’t just a practice; it’s a movement.

In this episode, Jennie Bellinger and Jill Katzenberg discuss:

• How gratitude became Jill’s most powerful business-building tool.
• The difference between appreciation marketing and traditional outreach.
• Why printed and digital cards create deeper client and team connections.
• How direct sellers can stand out in a saturated market through relationship-building.
• Real-life stories of how small acts of kindness created massive emotional impact.

Key Takeaways:

• Gratitude is a business multiplier — the smallest heartfelt gesture can create loyalty that marketing alone can’t buy.
• Standing out doesn’t require louder promotions; it requires a deeper connection, especially in industries overflowing with competition.
• Printed cards still matter. In a world drowning in digital noise, something tangible feels personal, rare, and meaningful.
• Consistent appreciation builds trust, and trust builds teams. It strengthens customer relationships and empowers your downline.
• At its core, appreciation marketing is about recognizing people, seeing them, and reminding them they matter — and that changes everything.

“Let’s be honest, most people don’t need or want a second job. If they’re going to do something to earn extra dollars, then they want to have fun doing it.” — Jill Katzenberg

About Jenn Lopez and Bryan Scott:

Jenn Lopez and Bryan Scott are the powerhouse duo redefining direct sales through Bomb Party, the surprise jewelry reveal company blending fun, sparkle, and entrepreneurship.

Jenn, a former travel nurse, discovered Bomb Party during the pandemic and went from hesitant beginner to top 25 seller in just a few months. What started as a side hobby from her South Dakota nursing apartment has since turned into a full-fledged career leading one of the fastest-growing teams in the company, the Fiesta Fam.

Bryan, once a banker and food truck owner, joined the adventure after seeing Jenn’s TikTok lives. He quickly found his rhythm in a female-dominated space—bringing humor, warmth, and a fearless attitude to every reveal. Together, they’re proving that community, connection, and courage are the secret ingredients to thriving in the world of direct sales.
 

In this episode, Jennie Bellinger, Jenn Lopez, and Bryan Scott discuss:

• How Bomb Party combines fun, surprise, and entrepreneurship through live jewelry reveals.
• Jenn’s journey from hesitant nurse to confident top seller and team leader.
• Bryan’s unexpected leap into a “women’s world” and how he carved his niche.
• The role of TikTok and social media growth strategies for modern direct sellers.
• How mentorship, leadership, and teamwork create sustainable business momentum.
   

Key Takeaways:

• Every rep has two start dates: the day they buy their kit, and the moment they finally believe they can do it.
• Success often begins with hesitation—Jenn’s story proves that courage grows through small, consistent action.
• TikTok may be unpredictable, but when paired with authenticity and community, it becomes a powerful sales engine.
• Leadership is more than motivation; it’s equipping others with the confidence and tools to succeed on their own.
• Authenticity outshines polish. People connect with the human behind the hustle, not the highlight reel.
   

“I’m a firm believer in being coachable. And so I’ve been as hard as it is with our relationship, me and Jenn, I’ve been able to be a very coachable, and she’s been really guiding my footsteps.” — Bryan Scott

“Everybody joins for their own reason… Some people just want an extra 500 or $1,000 a month, and that’s their why, right, to supplement their income. Some people want to replace it as their full-time job… Whatever their why is, I want to be there to support them and their why and help them be able to grow their business.” — Jenn Lopez
