If you've taught us anything, John, it is that we are all valuable. Right now. As we are. Yes, we all swim around in an economy. It doesn't matter if we call it capitalism or barterism, an exchange must happen for me to have yours and someone to have mine.

It's not much different than, trading my P B & J for my schoolmates tunafish. It's preferences.

And it's also information. Because if my schoolmate doesn't know I have PBJ (her favorite, in this story) and that I'm willing to sell, well, we both miss an opportunity.

I'm kinda getting to your question. Why is it so hard to do this with our "stuff" (in my case, books and in yours great coaching)? I'm trying to get my brain to accept that someone out there loves PBJ and is just waiting to find out I have it.

It makes me feel a little less iccky about promo.
