Prevagen "Greg's Calling" commercial



Greg is sixty-eight years old.  What is Greg doing in his golden years?

He's a "substitute teacher, a motivational speaker and- most hysterically- a "Paid Testimonialist." (I spelled that right, despite the fact that a red line appeared underneath it when I typed it.  Because it's not a thing.  At least, it's not a thing you have any business being proud of, because it essentially translates to "someone willing to testify that a product works if you're willing to pay him.")

Greg is a Substitute Teacher.  That's awesome, Greg- I was a substitute teacher for two years in the early-90s, when I was trying to get my foot in the door in a school- any school- in Upstate New York.  I subbed more than 100 times in a dozen different schools.  The other subs I bumped into in those years were either like me- young, just-out-of-training kids looking for permanent jobs- or Warm Bodies willing to sit in a classroom picking up a paycheck pretending to be Educated Professionals.  Guess which one you are, Greg?

Greg is a Motivational Speaker.  Which means he's a guy who likes to spew bumper sticker logic at audiences for money.  Audiences of people who are so pathetic that they need a total stranger to give them hope that someday they might be capable of finding a purpose in life without having a fire lit under them by a total stranger.  Until then, they'll have an endless supply of grinning twits like Greg bleating "inspirational" garbage into their ears, or mouths- whichever orifice they choose to hear with.

Greg is a Paid Testimonialist.  I already covered this.  So I'll just finish by reminding everyone that this commercial is for a drug that Greg may or may not take himself- there's no reason to believe he actually does no matter what he says about it, because after all, he's a PAID TESTIMONIALIST along with his other non-jobs.  In the end, what Greg really is is unskilled labor who has found a way to put money in his pocket despite being unskilled (that's his true "calling.")  Good for you, Greg.  But your commercial didn't motivate me into looking into Prevagen, and I wish you'd stay away from impressionable kids and stop taking jobs better filled- and often desperately needed- by professionals.

  11. 90% of the money that paid for that nice house and back yard is from being a "Paid Testimonialist," I can promise you that. Substitute teaching pays crap, and I wouldn't give this idiot with the bland monotone five bucks to give me a "motivational" speech.

    1. John, your comments on Greg are not correct.He is a retired GM executive who worked for many years in the field sales organization. His dealers worked well with him and thought well of him. The reason he substitute teach is that he believes in payback. He has a nice home because of his many moves around the country,that allowed him to realize gains,for the most part on his real estate.

  12. John, your comments regarding Greg are wrong.He was a successful manager for General Motors. I worked with him in the mid 1980’s in the field sales organization. He was respected by the dealers he called on.we were able to afford nice homes as a result of the many moves GM had us make.Frank

  13. Prevagen is a scam, imo, and its maker was charged with false and deceptive advertising by the FTC. Unfortunately, Quincy Bioscience found a friendly judge who threw the case out because the govt couldn't prove Prevagen's claims wrong, but Prevagen can neither prove their claims correct. Ditto Focus Factor. What does help your brain, and the rest of your body, is diet, exercise and quality sleep. Spend that Prevagen money on fresh fruits and veggies instead.

  14. He's actually a retired GM sales executive. I would often joke how being a substitute teacher AND motivational speaker just makes no sense. Today I googled it and found the link to this particular blog and also this link that explains 'Greg" https://www.prevagen.com/prevagen-reviews/greg-shares-his-story/
