I was 19 when I bought my first house, I had never hired a contractor before.

My mom was in kitchen and bath designs and I had been to a few constructions sites when we lived in California, but I personally had never done anything with it.

I saw a crack in the housing market and jumped over it. I went through 5 contractors on the first house until I found a guy I liked. He was a very honest contractor, I KNOW CRAZY, but they exist.

He was a younger guy with a family and he was having a hard time making sales, but he worked hard. He wasn't the brightest guy, but he had a passion for working with his hands and building. I hired him for that, not for his lengthy resume, to which it was very limited. Together he and I learned a lot and became very successful. That was 8 years ago.

He had a heart to serve and teach, he showed the kids in my program how to do something other than play sports and be successful. He was the best hire I ever had and he was not the shiniest tool in the shed.

The housing market is competitive. We still to this day have never been in the red regardless of the market conditions.

It does happen. Go HFBG!

This is seriously the argument you're going to try to win on here? Here as in HFBG is a pinksheet stock? I would suggest you take a little walk through resume land in the business world. I would ask that you pay particular attention to where many CEO's started and what some of their early experience was... not where they are now, and then I would remind you once again that this is a pinksheet stock.

Pinksheets are no more than big ideas gone public and most are run by the originator of the idea. I think we've all seen how that can turn out. This company was able to make distribution deals... that was never the problem, and apparently they still are able to make distribution deals. While you are trying to make it sound all scientific and as if no one without beverage experience could ever make HFBG work, I think you are about to learn differently... very differently. I think you are going to learn civil dialogue, building relationships, and good old fashioned sales experience is going to place more tea and other products than others have done with all kinds of beverage experience. There are several Red Robin restaurants that didn't seem to mind her resume, and that is just the tip of the proverbial iceberg.

I think if you ask anyone here new or old... their concern is responsible leadership, cleaning up the business side of things and bringing value to their position. You will find JAG is the right person at just the right time for the aforementioned. She has been honest, she has taken blame (even when it wasn't her fault), she has started digging into the share structure problem, she has shown leadership, an understanding of the problems, and a willingness to work tirelessly to right this ship. She has admitted that her experience is in business banking and not beverages. I think shareholders who have been here and seen the beverage experience and gave lots of dollars to fund this operation will appreciate someone from the business side of things who can bring in funding. This means she's smart enough to surround herself with beverage industry experience while using her experiences to bring in funding dollars that will no longer have to come from shareholder's pockets through dilution.

I like what I see so far... and in less than a month, she has shown more spine, more creativity, more attention to shareholder value, more honesty, and quite frankly more leadership than all of the prior put together... and for her energy and desire to do things the right way, I am willing to give her a chance to continue to right the ship and do so the right way. See... I am not so narrow minded that I will lump her in with the others or try to diminish her by demanding her credentials. I know this is a pinksheet and I know honesty and hard work go a long, long way. I also know there are a lot of superstar CEO's out there with powerful resumes who are not honest and not hard working and accomplish nothing!
