Alignment of Values Many of our military families share that they found a match between the values at Melaleuca and their own personal values. “Having been in the military, I was used to people with integrity and ethics,” says Arthur Gill. “The integrity and the ethics of Melaleuca fit my military experience perfectly. Melaleuca is full of honest, God-fearing people who actually want to do good for the world—good for each other. As Melaleuca Executive Chairman Frank VanderSloot says, we help ‘the little guy.’” “People in the military are highly motivated,” says Janetta Olaseni. “We are taught self-leadership and discipline. So those people will do really well in Melaleuca because of their training.”
A Powerful Peer Group Considering that there are close to 2 million active-duty and reserve service members and 17.4 million veterans in the United States, it’s not surprising to learn they have powerful networks. “It felt good to know that there were veterans at Melaleuca who had success with a company that stands behind them,” says Mike Brandow. “Our enrollers are a military family.

Lauretta Kloha clearly remembers the moment things clicked for her with Melaleuca. “For me, it was when I first watched the Foundations video,” she says. “When I listened to Frank, I felt like I could trust him. I felt an alignment with his mission and him as an individual.” Her husband, Mike, had his experience at Road to Executive Director. “One morning we were at the Melaleuca Global Headquarters cafe, and I started to talk to this employee who was super motivated just cleaning dishes. He was just intriguing to me because he was out-of-this-world grateful for the job at Melaleuca. That was just a different experience than what we had seen in other companies.”
