this may be true, but the guy is still a dick. he's also constantly bragging about how he sold something for 3.6b. he just seems like a douche.
i'm not saying he isn't smart, is bad for TV, or hasn't had a lot of success, i am saying that he'd be the last type of guy i'd want to work with if i had a choice as an entrepreneur. fortunately for myself, i do have that choice, and i choose not to work with people like Kevin.
