Looked into dudes story a bit.

Great example of black excellence.

But also they keep throwing dude into the fire. No other experienced CEO would take these jobs.

Rooting for his success, and hopefully he can move to a not so trash CEO position after this :ehh:

He's taking High Risk High Reward type roles which is how he got to be CEO in his 30s, if he can turn around any of these companies he is set for life pretty much

Look deep into a lot of these companies that have been shuttering their doors over the past few years and they all have similar theme in common.
Can you explain like I’m 5 for me?

Imagine if your favorite Red Lobster closed, and you’re upset. It turns out, some people who own lots of money bought Red Lobster, took its buildings, and then made Red Lobster pay them rent to use those buildings. This made Red Lobster have less money, and eventually, it couldn’t stay open in some places. So, it had to close stores and even made some people lose their jobs, all because of the way the owners wanted to make more money.

You answered it as I was typing lol.

They keep blaming the endless shrimp promotion, while also leaving out the important detail that the private equity firm owned the shrimp supplier and were essentially forcing them to buy it from them and only them.

I got this much, but where’d the money go that makes them then have to pay rent on their properties?

Ok so someone buys my house, I keep the money, but then I pay them rent that’s unfair? Why did I sell in the first place? Was it bc I had crippling debts they cleared? But I’d have to know I’d essentially be homeless after the sale right :dahell:

The private equity firms are trying to make back what they put into the purchase and more, so they're going to bleed the company dry in the process.

It's why you see a lot of those companies that end up getting bought private equity firms eventually go out of business.

So it’s essentially a deal with the devil. Why make the deal?
