Marcus Lemonis

Does anyone think that Marcus Lemonis ("star" of CNBC's The Profit) is a huge asshole? Half of the show is Marcus just shitting on average business owners. Anyways, we get it Marcus, you know more about running a business than some random schmuck who asked for your help, you don't have to be a dick about it.

yup basically, but the type of person who watches CNBC shows lurves it

These people reach out to him for help and cannot answer basic questions of the business. Then he opens up his own check book and people balk at giving him a chunk of their "business". And once he invests the fight with him or do shit behind his back. All this and you wonder why he is a dick?

I love the show, but think a lot of it is scripted. In real life no one would have tolerance for any of the shit these business owners pull.

 

It's very factual from my experience as a turnaround specialist. Half of troubled entrepreneurs are nuts and when you're up to your ass in debt with PG's and everything is spiraling out of control - who wouldn't be? Trust me it's far uglier when a lender is forcing the crazed entrepreneur to work with the turnaround guy.

He has a stupid name. Sounds like someone tried to rip off a Roman emperor's name.

People demand freedom of speech as a compensation for freedom of thought which they seldom use.
 

He looks like a rodent. The concept is great, however I really dislike the show because it is him.
