Ken Rockwell and Jarid Polin are now bro's

Good for them.  I have had brief encounters with both of these guys.  When I first started PT, I spoke with Ken on the phone, and he is a very nice guy.  We did a questionnaire style interview about him.  Personally I resonate with Jarid more.  He's out there with his fro', but that's his brand.  Calling card you can say.  He's an intense hard working entrepreneur and I respect that.  I met him briefly at Photo Plus a number of years ago.  

Actually if you want a good read, there is a excellent book called "Crush It" by Gary Vaynerchuk that was written back in 2009.  Great book, highly recommend it.  Actually he had a newer spin off called "Crushing It" that came out January of this year.   Anyway, Jarid's mentioned in the book with a outline of his upbringing and how he worked his ass off to get where he is.   He worked for years for little to no pay, following his dream.  You have to respect drive like that.  So I say Kudos... good for him. 

There's a North and South poll, there's day and night, there's Ford and Chevy, there's Apple and Microsoft,  Gas and Electric, and somewhere in the mix of all this there is Ken Rockwell and Jarid Polin.  Contrast is good, it brings meaning and uniqueness to each of our tribes.

+1 odd couple.  But good to see there is a meeting in the middle and they aren't arguing.
