I’ve been thinking some the past few days, and I’m a glass half full kinda guy. At least he’s not obsessed with Flintstone vitamins or some poo poo, otherwise we’d mever hear about him because he would starve under a bridge. That has zero comedic value to me, a not crazy person.

The Egeez reply made me check if he's done anything on LinkedIn since he last popped up there and he has not, but I scrolled too fast and ended up in his experience section. I never noticed the description of what Entergage Capital does.

TRY-UPS, NOT START-UPS.

The thing I still dont get, he almost never mentions the GarfieldEATS Dubai, even when listing his work experience and merits etc. Makes me think that the Dubai restaurant was entirely by someone else

Nah it was definitely him, you can go back through the Garfield Eats Instagram and see him there at the launch event, and go back through his personal one to see him hyping it up. Those weird rear end "comics" featuring him were made to hype up the Dubai launch as well.

I think he doesn't bring it up because the physical location makes for a better story. He "bootstrapped" his way into his own physical restaurant, but then the landmonsters and covid caused it to go under (definitely not bad food and poor business decisions)

The Dubai location came up a lot when he was hyping the recipes but it doesn't fit his victim complex like the Toronto location, its closure and the loss of the license does.

I was thinking of this wonderful Nathen-ism today before I saw this. It's actually a good saying, though not in the way he thinks it is.

Obviously Nathen, thinks of himself as young and part of a new generation, and the old generation is AFRAID of change and a new way of doing things. And that's why he gets put down and stopped. Not because he's a terrible manager who couldnt run a delivery service in a pandemic, but because people FEAR his YOUTH ASSET.

BUT- if youth is an asset, then an asset can be LOST. MIsspent. Wasted.

Yes, youth is an asset. One that Nathen has run thin on.

If some 20 something could get the rights to Garfield Vapes or CBD oil, it would destroy Nathen's entire identity.

I don't think paws inc does tobacco and there might be laws against such a thing

It's kind of hard to tell if he's obsessed with graf because he genuinely loves Garfield, or because of the licensing stuff.

Because clearly, he has really nasty capitalism brain. He's obsessed with brands, licensing, selling useless crap and "entrepreneurship". So obviously he's going to talk big about whatever he thinks he can sell.

On the other hand, he's also really bitter about how Garf was "taken" from him. Not that he ran a perfectly viable business into the ground, or taking responsibility for having a terrible menu. Garfield represents a great injustice to him. And this is compounded by the fact that Paws Inc slings it's license around willie nillie. Every time he sees a Garfield on a food product it's salt in his wound.

Most importantly: Garfield was his "first". He got a ton of daddy money and press to succeed. It had meme momentum. It was his only brush with real, orgasmic success, and nothing he's ever done has come close to that. He's still chasing that high.

Basically, Nathen lost his virginity to Garfield, and a lot of what he does is equivalent to drunk texting your ex constantly.

That was the same thought I had. I can't believe someone would do something with Garfield for solely marketing purposes.

I feel it’s not a great look that mister Eggies, protector of the sacred licenses and savior of licensees, is attacking a license holder publicly. Seems like bad marketing to me, but I’m not a license master like Nathen so maybe I’m just not seeing the 4d chess moves he’s making here

I hear there is a tick box at the bottom of the form you fill out to hire the services of nates IP thing, that says "I have a relationship with my licensed IP(/'s) that others have called disturbing and unhealthy" and if you don't tick it, it won't let you submit the form.

Nate really wants to weed out any losers that are just in the IP game for the money.
