What the heck is Mason doing and why the hell is he telling people he is drinking beer while making important business decisions. I am not against the beer drinking, as most people consume, BUT why the hell tell people this?? I love how he is stating the company cannot afford stupid mistakes. In my eyes, this article and the way he is perceived as a beer drinking, mega wealthy, young, and poor leader with a company with more errors and mistakes than any other large in the spotlight tech company. Maybe it was the beer drinking that resulted in the S1 filings and every other SEC error?
