I recall one interview (will look for link) where Gary was asked if he would have followed someone like himself when he was getting started. I remember his answer to be a definite "no". He explained that he was and remains too busy with his business to follow other business gurus. Of course, after hearing this I realized my folly. For me he remains inspiring and charismatic even if his content is (self-admitted) unnecessary for business success.

^This - It is totally true. Lately he has talked a lot about people asking him for permission. They are basically looking for someone to come along and kick them in the arse and tell them to get to work. I used to consume almost everything he put out, but any more I've heard most of what I need from him. I'm in "do" mode now, so not much time for it. Most content is just background noise while I work these days.
