Money talks...even if it is BS, the world is full of it. Before you downvote this, keep in mind that the founder comes from a Mormon background - perfect upbringing to be trained as a salesman Another example of selling snake-oil ideas comes from the author of the book "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People": "According to Clayton Christensen, The Seven Habits was a secular distillation of Latter-day Saint values." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Covey https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Covey

sorry, what is the example of? Also, how is the Mormon background good for being a salesman?

  They are required to do missionary work like a door to door salesman. Imagine being trained like that from youth- you could sell anything. This comes from an anecdote from an ex-Mormon friend.
