Somewhat agree. One of the life hacks I have picked up (not necessary from him) is to look at the advice without the associations with the person. E.g., I really admire Warren Buffet and Bill Gates a lot but doesn't mean I all their ideas work for me. The same goes for people I dislike (some self-promoters ;)) but some of the advice from people I don't like has been actually helpful for me. So.. tl;dr : It's the message, not the medium :)
