Not to knock your interview, but every time I see an article or interview involving this venture, I feel like beating my head against the wall.

The reason? The questions asked of these people, no matter who they are, are relative fluff, aimed at gleaning basic information but not getting to the heart of the matters those who have been following this farce for half a decade now really want to know:

- How in the hell do they expect to launch in 2013?
- Who (specifically) owns your franchises (if they can't give names, today, they're not legitimate)?
- What venues will be used?
- How much does your business plan allow you to lose, over how long a period of time, before you start getting nervous?

and most importantly...
- This venture was repeatedly promoted by its ersatz founder, every year promising that "next year" would be the year of the launch. Why are you making the same catastrophically stupid mistakes?

I totally agree. I think potential startup league's like this only take fluff interviews on purpose as well. Right now they're in the "lets see if we can get investors (suckers) to buy into this venture," and if they don't get enough of them then this thing will be dead in the water.

I've talked my way out of a job in interviews by straying off the path.

They need to be repetitive right now.

The only issue I have is not having a hard deadline to get owners in place.

Ownership is the key. Until you have someone to pay the bills, you're really just playing fantasy football.

Guessing that's more realistic.
