Ubermick - I agree with most of your comments. Great leaders don't have to be good at everything, execution included. But, they need to find those who can pick up the slack and be the expert (as you said). In the very least, though, the leader executed enough in the nascent stages to build something and ID the right people; which is execution.
Where I disagree is with the anger and jealousy. When someone can only find fault in someone else (who is successful) on a topic they commonly share, often times there are levels of jealousy, inadequacy, resentment or some other internal issue that makes them negative. Sure, people are entitled to their opinion, but when their statements of 'opinion' are routinely contrary and without base, there's more to their statement than just an opinion. "Yeah, he's got a big brewery, but none of his beers are good". Real opinion or some level of jealousy/resentment?
The show is indeed a typical reality show and it is not going to be chock full of the technical details a lot of us here in LHBT would like to see. But, I still enjoy watching it. It's entertaining and is on a topic I am passionate about. And, I would have never known about Bitches Brew (which I found and plan to share with my brother who also brews) or Chicha if I haven't watched it.
Stay open, Folks, and brew on!
