Hi there,I going to suggest there is a wee bit of exirtegagaon in the above comment, I think (the one complaining that this podcast is nothing but 20 minutes of self-promotion). maybe more than a wee. I think it's an example of how people can see things thru a lens, that others do not see because they have a different lens.These are not personal comments about the commenter because I have no personal experience with them, these are just general observations, especially about this field where so many well-meaning people are just wanting to help others by doing this work. The lens of that comment seems to be colored by a high degree of frustration, from someone who is struggling and who is really trying and trying to learn something from these videos, but for some reason doesn't feel like they are getting even a little help from them. Cal spends the first 5 minutes or so talking about the need for hypnotists to be in shape in order to succeed (both in terms of congruent marketing and physical energy), and talks about his personal story and a product that's helped him do that, while at the same time helping avoid a risky all eggs in one basket model. I guess you could see this as a useful lesson, or someone trying to promote something, or both. Personally, this was a useful nudge to remember that search engine rankings (which I depend highly upon) are not set in stone and could change based on the whim of a Google engineer somewhere. That alone is valuable content, at least to me. Maybe I'll act on that nudge in time, maybe not, but it's up to me.Then Cal talks about Dave Elman and how Elman's son is possibly going to be involved in future podcasts. I guess you could see that as an exciting possibility (especially for people who did not know that Elman's son was active in the field, and could offer a unique perspective on Elman's work), or you could look at that as someone trying to promote a future podcast, or both. And if Cal puts a link to Dave Elman's Hypnotherapy book on the post, I guess you could look at that as valuable information for the people who are newly entering the field and who are unfamiliar with that important work, or you could see that as promoting a book, or both. I guess that also largely depends on whether a person understands that a podcast is directed towards a wide audience of people, many of whom may never have heard of Dave Elman or known that the book was available, or whether that person gets frustrated when a topic in a free blog post is not personally relevant to them.And if Cal answers a question that was submitted about continually learning new techniques and approaches beyond what he teaches, by encouraging that and also talking about an upcoming big event where hypnotists can learn such new stuff from lots of different trainers, well I guess you could look at that as useful info (esp. for people who were not aware of the event), or promotional, or both.You could see all things things as useful information, or someone trying to promote something, or both. Now, if someone were approaching things with a lens of frustration and also an aversion to promotional/marketing activities, I could understand how this would color the perception of the value of these blogs (not just Cal's, but all of these kinds of blogs). Because if someone thinks self-promotion is bad, and they encounter something which is both valuable-to-others and self-promotional, then it is natural to fail to see the value in that something, because it is human nature to primarily notice the aversive aspects. I think people often feel that altruistic, non-promotional activity is more worthy. But underlying that judgment of worthiness is the basic preference to take value from others and not wanting to exchange value in return. So apparent non-promotional activity is typically a clever and polite way to disguise self-interest and exploit the sensitivity of others who are attracted to other people's altruism and averse to other people's self-interest.And anyway, people who are not initially averse to promotion and marketing can often end up that way, when they discover that it takes more persistence and patience and work and luck and skill than they hoped for, leading to frustration. So I would also suggest that perhaps the frustration and aversion to promotional/marketing activities that is felt by most people in any business, is also largely responsible for their lack of success and their failure to learn from/implement the lessons that are right in front of them. Because they can only feel their frustration and their struggle and failure to achieve results so far, they see things with a this isn't helping me attitude, shut down, and do not even notice what's right in front of them, and so are always looking for the secrets to success that are never going to be apparent to them (because there are none). This is the only reasonable explanation that I can come up with when people are apparently upset because they feel they've been unable to learn anything or be helped even a little by this kind of content, which is free in the first place.Once again, these are not personal comments about the commenter because I have no personal experience with them, these are just general observations that I'm making since a client forgot about todays appointment, thinking it was next weekend. I could get really frustrated about that but instead I think I'll take a nap in my office or maybe watch some Katy Perry videos. PS. I think there are certainly a lot of blogs out there which provide free content but which also are content-free (especially the ones which market marketing services to people you know, the ones where social marketing experts purport to reveal the secrets to becoming expert social marketers). But to suggest that your podcasts do not have valuable content, seems to me at least, to be the result of distorted thinking, which we are all susceptible to at times of stress and frustration.PPS. I am familiar with these podcasts enough that I usually skip 5 minutes or so into them, because I know that is where the meat will generally begin. I understand that there are many people who are newly encountering this material all the time, and so they can benefit from the boilerplate/promotional aspect of every podcast. No big deal.
