Whenever a F4LT thread has '[GET] 3 Days only! ' in the title, it is almost for sure made by the same member:
scottp1956
This is surely Scott Paton openly self-promoting his own things here...
Trouble is (IMO) the topics of them are all over the map.
Copied from his profile:
"Scott Paton has been podcasting since the spring of 2005.
He has executive produced and/or co-hosted over 45 podcasts.
An internationally renowned speaker, Scott has presented to audiences from London, England to Sydney, Australia, from Vancouver, BC to New York, NY, from LA to Rwanda."

Yes - he is clearly a talented podcaster, presenter and producer, BUT=>
What is his own area of expertise OTHER than interviewing experts ??
With 150+ interviews published as 'courses' - it is impossible to determine this very important fact about him.
I was fooled initially by his very smooth presentations - and then I realized that this guy may know loads about 1 or several topics, but truthfully there is no way to know which areas those may be, because:
He is mostly a very skilled INTERVIEWER and PRESENTER who uses the skills of others who truly ARE experts in his making of his INTERVIEWS which are incorrectly labeled as 'courses'.
I wasted time on several of those before I realized that they are no more helpful or useful than the IM guru's sales webinars - very cute and fluffy.
So now when I look through the new posts list here - and I see '[GET] 3 Days only! ', or if it is by scottp1956, I just ignore it.
Here is what I recommend to anyone who values their time or who may just wish to actually use courses to learn deeply about things:
Look carefully at any of these which may attract you to see who he may be interviewing - and perhaps find real courses or other materials offered by those folks directly.
All the ones of his I've checked out have been extremely superficial.
The ONLY benefit I've gotten from them is that they showed me NOT to do that again, at all.
YMMV, of course.
