We are about to have the "New Start" meeting...the last time with the old Senior Leadership people, and meeting the new Senior Leadership team.

I'm half expecting our outgoing CEO to show up wearing sunglasses, a Hawaiian shirt, and drinking a fruity rum drink with an umbrella in it.

Heard this guy on the All Fantasy Everything episode where they drafted Hot Sauces, Marshall's Haute Saurce , and ordered the sampler pack for my daughter for Christmas.

Just posted about that in the Podcasts thread.

Its been pretty clear that he has too much on his plate. He hasn't been on the main podcast in a while...Rory Smith (from the NY Times) has been filling in.

Yeah, being sold to a viable oprerating company is great, as opposed to a soulless, bloodsucking private equity buyer. We had a company "Town Hall" this morning...it was weird watching our CEO talk about being out of a job next week. But my understanding is that he and the other Senior Le...
