Steve, I agree somewhat with Level1 on this. We hear from the so-called PD experts all the time, but it would be equally valuable to hear from those who are experts in the making. For example, someone who has attended James Ray's seminars/workshops and has become a successful restauranteur due to this.
We would like to hear such a person's perspective - how did they apply what James has to say - and having done that, how do they now interpret James' message/teaching. Most of us can relate to those people who are not yet "masters/successes", but are getting there, at least in some areas of life. We feel they may mention things that the experts may think are irrelevant.
For example, suppose someone started a blog documenting their journey towards a goal, say 30-day trial to lose weight by eating purely raw natural food. Many people may be sick of natural food experts touting their products through infomercial websites. Such people are more likely to read such a blog as they will find it more genuine. If later, that person indeed loses weight, and then starts selling their formula, people (especially those following the blog) may be more likely to buy because that blog/journal is better than any infomercial.
