As with so many things, marketing is not intrinsically bad, it’s what you do with it and how you use it that matters. If you are positively involved in Clint’s enterprise at any level - I myself am a free subscriber, hoping to build up enough inventory to get a website through him soon - I doubt if you see what he does and what he offers as bad. In fact, you probably see it as downright good!

All things that mankind does, that is in a positive direction, comes from either his brain or his heart (or soul).

All things created do not necessarily ALWAYS include the heart.

Facts, data, details, etc come from the MIND.

Beauty, passion, feelings, delicate things, come from the SOUL.

To create a building takes knowledge of structure, materials, etc. BUT to have a BEAUTIFUL building is created from connecting to things not seen, from the soul.

Writing is the same: mere chatter only requires a brain and mouth that work together. But to write poetry, or stories, or movies, develops from one’s soul, from inner feelings, not mere “facts”.

Painting or the “finer arts” is the same. There are those who want to impress others (or even themselves), and their creations have a shallow existence. Whereas paintings created from observation and delivered with passion and discovery, there is an unspoken energy that goes beyond words.
