Why he might be annoying
He is so self absorbed, that he founded two other companies named Goen Seminars and Goen Technologies.
He has a warning on the Trim Spa website that sounds more like a hidden advertisement: 'If you lose more than 10 pounds in the first 5 days, do not take any more pills for 2 or 3 days at the end of the first week.'
His product (Trim Spa) contains ephedra, an herb that even the FDA considers dangerous, warning that it can cause the user to have a 'heart attack, stroke, seizures, psychosis, and death.' Ephedra (the ingredient in his product) has been linked to hundreds of deaths and injuries.
His product will increase your blood pressure.
His marketing material and radio ads don't mention the dangerous ingredient, ephedra.
He was a sales director for an insurance company.
Why he might not be annoying
Goen Seminars promotes healthy dieting and encourages people to stop smoking.
He offers an ephedra-free Trim Spa product for people who choose not to subject themselves to the health risks.
