Branden Spikes - It's an old article But.....It gives you an idea of this man's frame of mind (at least 5 years ago). Do you think that this type of person wants to be affiliated with a dying/failing company ? I do not think this situation would make him feel self fulfilled nor satisfied.....it is not always about dollars but about accomplishments and successes with some people.
