Dear Hive,
I co-directed Vanishing of the Bees because collapsing bees warn us that something is wrong with the whole ecosystem.
The bees taught me that a hive survives through cooperation. Every bee has a function — but somewhere along the way, my humming hive dwindled to only a few.
My longtime marketer stayed. Laura, my customer-service manager of nine years, stayed. Thank you. But I have largely been running the company, producing my show and defending fifteen years of investigative work by myself.
I am exhausted, but I am still here.
Simply Transformative once generated as much as $50,000 a month. Then, on January 6, 2021 — before anything unfolded at the Capitol — I landed in Washington and lost my CBD payment processing through Square.
By the time I secured a high-risk processor and bank, much of the traffic was gone. Later, women connected to Procter & Gamble insisted on moving my WordPress site to Shopify. My original website and years of history disappeared.
I trusted the wrong people. The result was sustained attrition — the pattern I document in Operation Gladio: More Than a Playbook.
I am not disappearing, but I cannot continue operating as a colony of one.
EVERYTHING MUST GO
Simply Transformative is now 40% off storewide.
Use code MIST40.
