Good job Aaron, keep it going man. My assumption here is that you're doing it because you believe in this, and not because you're trying to make money out of this.
Sometimes in life people will just try to put bubble gum under your shoes - don't let that get to you.
It is clear from many of the posts here, especially when none of these guys have been through the seminar, already have a pre-conception on how things are. Worse, is that they think they are already "too good for this". It amazes me all the assumptions that people make to make their conclusions.
Regardless, it would be refreshing sometimes for people to actually reserve their opinion until they themselves have sat through that position. When people never been through your situation, or understand your perspective, where you've come from, the internal battles you've fought, they will resort to judging. But that is life, and everyone can do what they want.
At the end of the day, that will limit growth as a human being. But who cares, as long as you're growing and opening up your mind to new opportunities, that takes courage;
the will to take those core values and beliefs that you have held so dearly and for so long, and allow them be transformed by the ideas of another.
Anyway good luck with this endevour, and I hope you learn a lot from people and this experience.
