Thank You, Joey.
We all know you read these boards and the comments here had to have been difficult to swallow -- including many of my own. It's nothing personal, it's all business, and I appreciate that you're willing to step aside so that someone with more experience and financial acumen can lead Giggles to the next level.
There's no shame in stepping down after building something worthwhile. Mark Zuckerberg stepped aside, as have countless other CEOs. Part of being a good leader are recognizing your own weaknesses and identifying the strengths in the talent around you.
Joey has always been a great pitchman for the company. I've never given him a hard time for that. And for a start-up, that's important -- a CEO who can do Black-Scholes in his head is irrelevant if the company doesn't excite the public. The same qualities that made Parsi millions as a stock broker were what allowed him to give Giggles a platform for future success,
That said, Philip Gay has successful experience growing companies that only a handful in the world can match. This was a good move for all involved -- including Parsi -- because his shares will be incredibly valuable if Gay can replicate his CPK success with Giggles.
