Now some small time people are out money, he and the board should be held accountable for something.

      definitely good insight into the difference between what looks successful and what is successful. my takeaway: always be genuine; ask for help when you need it; hire your weaknesses; don’t be greedy; instagram is where fake people go to lie.
