Karl’s professional experience provides a perspective and wisdom that should serve well for our start-up company. We are quite cognizant of the importance of protecting intellectual property, and Karl’s experience will help to insure that the company will have all the protections that it needs. Further, Karl’s experience and priorities in living life with integrity, truth, love and pursuit of justice, while pursuing a variety of creative and fulfilling activities and hobbies that enable maintaining physical and mental fitness and strength, should serve the company well as a resource and guide as the company seeks to become successful and a model corporate and public citizen of this country and the world.

Finally, it is important to remember that Karl’s emphasis on maintaining physical fitness and having a healthy lifestyle are priorities that brought Adam and Karl together in the first place (as discussed above). So far, the synergistic combination of the backgrounds and talents of Adam and Karl have enabled them to start this company, immediately see the potential of it, and combine to launch it with a trajectory of success that has been beyond wildest expectations. At this point, we anticipate a very successful path of accomplishing the mission changing people’s lives for the better, while achieving extraordinary revenue and profits along the way.
