In Search Of Heroes Members Program

Recently, my photo video personal endorsement of Frank Kern’s Mass Control marketing materials was used as canon fodder to question the ethics of certain individuals considered potential entrepreneur heroes for the “In Search Of Heroes Program” on SaltyDroid.info blog.

Needless to say, I was shocked and angered by the accusations and language used on the blog. I immediately realized it was necessary for me to get engaged in the conversation in search of the truth. I believe it is important to investigate the questions of honesty, integrity and ethics raised by this blog.

WARNING: The SaltyDroid.info is not PG13! Do not go there unless you can handle language that would be used by a drunken sailor…no offense intended to our brave men and women in the military.

I have been out of action in the internet industry for a few years while taking care of my mom and dad during their final days 24/7. Taking care of two dying people takes all your focus, energy and compassion.

Now that they are gone and my grieving process is over, it is time to reevaluate the lives and actions of those who I have honored or considered interviewing for the internet portion of the “In Search Of Heroes Program”.

Below are my responses to the posts that recently appeared referencing my name and video. I did not include the original posts because I feel some of the language on the blog is offensive, not appropriate for those who have been involved with the Heroes program over the last 17 years.

Blog Post #1

Thank you for your clarification and kind words.

I will monitor this blog on a daily basis. I want to know the truth about potential role models for high school and college kids. Are there any other blogs I can monitor that provide a heads up on what is going on in the internet industry?

I do weep and my heart is broken if what you say is true.

If they are as corrupt as you say, I will consider removing their interviews from the “In Search Of Heroes” site and the upcoming books I am completing.

Yes, I have been out of action in the internet community for the last 2 years because of the deaths of both my parents.

I followed through on my commitment to care for them 24/7 for five years. My mom died in 2007 and my dad in 2008.

I delayed completing and promoting the heroes program until after they died in their own home, in their own beds with me holding their hand saying goodbye.

I guess I need to get up to speed on what has happened over the last couple of years. Some of the interviews I completed of people you excoriate contained good advice on life, finances and family.

I am considering publishing their content because it will help others understand the conflict many have between their personal and public lives.

The big question over the last 10 years has been, “Does character really matter in business and politics?”

Napoleon Hill and Earl Nightingale I believe answered that question many years ago. Their wisdom still stands as a model for correct human action and thought. That is why I am incorporating their material into the heroes educational program.

I like to think the best of people I know but must also confront reality. I will search out the facts and proceed accordingly.

Do you have any suggestions on who are worthy internet marketers for heroes interviews, that embody honesty, integrity and ethics? I would love to have some suggestions, especially if I discover what you say is true.

Blog Post #2

I admire Frank Kern because he is promoting the importance of the heroes journey in each person’s life. The world needs as many heroes as possible in the difficult time we are experiencing today. The heroes journey is a useful marketing strategy. I believe it helps individuals become better people as they consider being a hero.

The heroes journey is one that is long and involved. Heroes work through ups and downs. They make major mistakes and wise decisions.

The good thing is we are all works in progress. God is not finished with us until our last breath. Hopefully, all of us sinners will repent and receive eternal salvation before we die.

Major calamities in life cause many to give up and become failures forever. I don’t know all the facts about Frank’s fall from glory and resurrection. However, I admire anyone who becomes successful after going up against the government.

One of my dear friends had the government come after his $500,000,000 business. All the chargers were trumped up.

He saved his company but went personally bankrupt because of the aggressive prosecution and lies of the government. They are still working to destroy his life. His finances are already dead.

He has not made it back but is not giving up. I consider him a hero because he keeps a good attitude despite what is happening in his life.

Many of the guys you discuss do good things for others. Lets hope that the good they do eventually outweighs the bad in the scheme of life.

Blog Post #3

My definition of HEROES is someone who Helps Enthusiastically, Responsibly, Optimistically, Exceptionally, Socially at a moment in their life time. The worst villain can become a hero at a moment in time, as well as a hero become a villain. I never met anyone who was a hero, who did not fall far short on certain days, especially in their relationships with others.

No one is all good or all evil. Everyone is a sinner in one way or another. It is wise to know both sides of the human coin.

I don’t want to endorse anyone who is ripping off others in any way. That would be a huge mistake.

No one is perfect is true. This does not justify wrong doing in any way. It just identifies the human condition thanks to original sin.

Even the Apostle Paul said he did things he knew he should not do and did not do the things he knew he should. Sin is a constant condition of living in this world.

All transgressions in personal life and business eventually reap the rewards they deserve. God holds people personally responsible and punishes or rewards them according to their deeds.

Peoples’ live change over the years. Some of the finest and worst people make radical turn during their lives. I don’t know many who have not experienced these cycles.

It truly is a sad statement on some of the individuals discussed in this blog. If they have forsaken honesty, ethics and integrity, their businesses will fail and they will lose their most valuable possession…their reputation.

Please give me a list of those you have personal experience with, not hearsay, that have violated the laws of ethics, integrity and honesty so I search for the truth.

As you rightly point out, I cannot in good conscience endorse anyone that does not posses the qualities that would make them role models for young people.

Since I invested the last 5 years taking care of my dying parents 24/7, the lives of the potential heroes I interviewed have changed or I was totally deluded by my rose colored glasses.

Any way, I am a seeker of the truth. Please give me a list of the culprits and a list of those worthy to be honored as internet heroes. If you don’t want to publish it here, please email it to me at biomans@gmail.com. I will keep it in the strictest confidence.

Thanks for the heads up. I had no idea. Luke 6:43-45 is something I believe with all my heart.

A Tree and Its Fruit
43″No good tree bears bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit. 44Each tree is recognized by its own fruit. People do not pick figs from thornbushes, or grapes from briers. 45The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For out of the overflow of his heart his mouth speaks.

I will check the links and ask some of the individuals who are walking the walk the best they can if they know any facts about what is discussed in this blog.  I trust them to tell me the truth, no matter how painful.

Thanks for your guidance.
Ralph
