Definition of a self-made man:
Clearly that is not Minte. Good on him that if he has grown the family business, through loans, M&A, and leveraging company assets. However, if he is trying to say he is a self-made man, that simply is not true.
I have total respect for a guy like Shap who really did build a company from the ground up, and instead of constantly boasting about his wealth, he starts adult industry related threads and offers mentoring and guidance to others in the business, inspiring people, and sharing his success.
Of course, Shap sold his company for millions, while self-proclaimed business genius Minte traded his 15 year old adult company for a $1,500 guitar. :1orglaug

Incredible.. Not sure what to even say here. Your statement,.,he claims to be a self-made man. I've never said that to anyone. I've said to anyone that asked that my father and I started together. End of discussion.
Since he died, we have been able to turn it from a small metal shop to a much larger company. I have respect for Shap too, but lets not forget Mrs. Shap. Didn't she offer anything to the business? I believe she was a big part of their/his success.
So quit putting words in my mouth. If your best response to a heated political thread is to make up bullshit about me, you are in over your head.
And your jab about trading my final domain for a fender.. If someone had asked nicely I would've given it away. It was a hobby. It was fun and educational and I have no regrets.
The time came when my mainstream business took too much time and something had to go. Easy choice.
