> the writeup says that Lowe was installed as CEO by the company that bought MoviePass, Helios & Matheson Analytics, and that the shift down to the $10 price point was the brainstorm of H&M's own CEO, Ted Matheson.

yeah I've been doing advisory for time

and sometimes that means installing myself as the board or executive in a company I'm advising

or my friends

or my friends have made a partnership to create another venture, but I consult with them, or I try to negotiate being a shareholder in some way etc

we always trade our network because its convenient and we work well together

it didn't start as nepotism, but now we are all just trying to get paid and get clout for more support in the future

I think a lot of people just work with their networks. Its honestly a miracle at all that there are giant corporations that hire basically anyone and pride themselves in doing so.
