Building a world leading company at the age 50 is mind blowing. respect to Fred and an intelligent investor like Frank.

Glad they improved the stability of their platform. Funny that this video came out around the time of an outage, one they couldn’t control.

This is one of those videos that merit a response of...Legen...wait for it...DARY!

I was there during the transition. THey really do NOT cover it in detail enough. Frank was a monster. Absolutely horrible to the staff. Fred had to save me more than once. They way they act like Frank was some GOD and Fred was some visionary is just bullshit. Frank was out for blood.

Don't you think some companies have a toxic culture of slacking off? In that case you need someone like Frank to come in and get those people out and rock the boat.
