Casting my perils before swains.

In this advertisement is Harry “putting on”:

  1. quality clothing,
  2. Matthew,
  3. his private equity backers,
  4. future sub-franchisees,
  5. public’s sappy feelings about entrepreneurship (100% of it is good? Right?),
  6. the franchise/development “game” or
  7. you?
  8. Or all/some of the above?

Herbivore entrepreneur or fine young cannibal? Depends if you’re wise to the play and know when to cash out. Time and Krispy Kreme will tell, I suppose.

Food for the mind is like food for the body: the inputs are never the same as the outputs.
