Need a CEO to step in for the oblivious BEN.
2 months and not much to show other than a MR BEAST small ration of a percentage of hope for exposure.
I am sure Benny will be chasing the next shinny object of a good idea and fail to maximize the one we just related with which should create exposure.
Perhaps a eating contest could draw more attention than we have had for 5 years. Make it go viral Ben!
Hi Shawn
allow me to introduce myself. My name is Ben, founder of Snakes & Lattes.
I read your email with attention and would love to know more about you as an investor.
I've tried to gather some questions for you, to know more about your vision
1. No Real CEO
what do you have in mind? what is a real CEO? what would he/she be doing?
To tell you the truth, I've tried to hire people to fill up this position and it never worked.
at the end of the day, I'm still the best person to know what's good for the company..
there will be time where a different king of leadership will be needed, and we might be months away from that.
our sole focus is to strengthen the organization and recover from the last 2 years.
you are mentioning direction and leadership.
what is it that we are not doing and would warrant a real CEO?
I believe the next C-level will be CFO / Finance / Stock Market.
We need that expertise more than a CEO
2. Communication
this has been a sore point, and I must admit the last 2 years were really hard.
Shareholders are accusing us of not communicating? but not much has happened
You mentioned Roger leaving you in the dark. is there something you want to know?
what sort of communication are you looking for? what would you want to see happen?
do you have other example of Public company that are good at this exercise?
3. Orange Banner on Twitter
i'm not sure what you are referring to.
do you mind pointing me in the right direction?
4. Relying on Investors
You have a point. More than relying on investors for raising capital, I want your support.
I'm giving myself a couple months to convince you that we can create value with the stock, and the company is not going anywhere.
I do agree with you that stock price is a problem and we need to seriously work on that.
5. Your wishes for AMFIL / the future?
what do you wish for amfil in the future?
as a shareholder, what would you want to see happen?
I would love to STOP seeing the flounder flop…… I would love to not reach for the defibrillator every time I see one and thing how much FUNN needs a shock! Like the word of a serious leader instead of a man with a good idea that sucks at running a public company. A couple months have come and gone and Ben……not much of anything to be impressed by. Perhaps Ben may think he knows what’s best for the company, however he does not realize himself and his shadow are interfering with immeasurable potential that he fails to capitalize on day after day, month after month, year after year.
They have never been in sync with their investors. Looking for the turnaround but Benny does not understand how to do this imo. One less snack break and swap for a tweet of anything positive would do wonders.
