    I really like this documentary, nice balance of facts and entertainment.

    ya…they made a few mistakes….for instance my dissagreement with the BCSC had nothing to do with insider trading and nobody ever called me Air Head when I was growing up…on account that doing so would have been hard on their faces…I think they just stole that from my funny play on words for my models…we call them Ayre Heads…but mostly they were accurate and fair. The gig was fun also. I am doing another one similar with one of the largest TV networks in Europe this month….should be fun. I am doing all the same stuff I did in the past in North America in Europe and Asia now. So far its got a similar impact and its sure a lot of fun.

    Also I should add that they intentionally sensationalize the very clear reality of the rights the indigenous people have in Canada. For a funny read on Mohawk rights in Canada read this:

    The Mohawks land is not exactly Canada so discussing the law in Canada in this area relative to what they do in Kahnawake is as useful as discussing the law in Mongolia.

    For me, this is one of the best documentary of 2010 about being entrepreneurial at a young age. Ayre had developed a formula for a succesful “Biz+tech.+entertainment”

    Just love the quote from the Doc. “Pleasure doing bussiness as bussiness doing pleasure”

    Dude, Ayre have 2 degrees with a full scholarship (General Sciences & MBA). Grew up with a skilled apprentice. He's one of the best web strategist/entrepreneur on the web & in the entertainment industry.
