As I reach out to people in our down line I am always amazed about the stories I hear.

Yesterday Ashlee John shared her story about her husband Darrell with me.

When they were married in March of 2005, Darrell, pictured above, was healthy.

In September of 2006, he had lost 30 lbs in a month. Darrell went from being super healthy to unhealthy. darrell johnHis eyes were sunken in and very dark.

Ashlee convinced him to go see a doctor and he was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes on her birthday and was told he had to take 4 shots a day.

Before Darrell was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes he weighed 185 then dropped down to 155 as you can see from the picture to the right.  Since then he was not been able to gain weight. He would eat tons of junk food and candy and would never gain a pound.

Ashlee and Darrell were introduced to ViSalus by Star McEuen 3 weeks ago. Since he started drinking the shakes he has not craved sweets like he used to and has gained 8 pounds!

They are thrilled!

Below is a picture of what Darrell looks like today.

A company is defined by its culture and culture determines the difference between a mediocre company and a dominate brand like Starbucks or  Zappos.

The ViSalus culture is what makes ViSalus and a big reason why ViSalus is dominating the direct sales sector.

Today ViSalus promoters all over North America did the same dance at the same time to the same music to attempt to set a world record as the worlds largest flash mob dance. I think the ViSalus community may have just pulled it off.

Below is the flash mob dance done by the Tucson ViSalus team at one of the largest mall in Tucson called Park Place.
