So far the start-up has attracted more than 700 subscribers and forged deals to provide nibbles of wisdom from the Dalai Lama and Mother Teresa. Users can tailor the service to get a recovery message one day, and pearls from the Dalai Lama the next. Foster is in talks with other self-help icons to expand his offerings, and he recently spent a week camped out in front of Oprah Winfrey’s Chicago studios in a bid for support. No luck yet, but Foster is taking it one day at a time.
