You irrevocably and permanently waive any right to royalties or other compensation arising from or related to the use of Your Materials.

Please note, legals aside, as a human with a high degree of integrity I will never publish anything of yours, be it a comment, post, video, etc etc without your express permission. Any testimonials or videos you may have seen outside the program have been recorded with the express consent permission of the person appearing in them.

This is a safe space to be honest and vulnerable. Trust goes both ways. I will never breach your trust, just as I expect the same from you, given how much I share about my own personal struggles through the program.
