It sounds to me like Rod Kush never was much of a success. He just lived a self-deluded lie by going deeper and deeper into debt for the past 20 years.

Being driven by ego, and living FAR beyond your means, usually has a way of catching up with you.

I don't know about that. His stores were pretty successful and they made alot of money, but it looks like it just got too big for him to handle and the bottom fell out.

I don't know that ego and living beyond his means were the cause of it.

new suit........150.00
Dinner reservations at Gorat's for 4 people....... 200.00
Saying no to the worlds richest man who wants to buy your business, thus enabling you to retire at 47 years old..................Priceless.

You EGO has to big to turn down Warren. I am sure it was a name your price conversation....

And he probably would have paid him in shares of BRK-A, which has gone up about 700% since 1994 or whenever their meeting was. EPIC FAIL!

I went to his store once...Never Again!!! His employees were mostly parolees. That said, I spoke with with Mr. Kush and thought he had a good customer relations perspective.
