Hey everyone,

Skullcandy's Rick Aiden has been nominated for Entrepreneur of the Year. He's done a lot for our sport and it would be pretty kick ass if he won. Check out the video for his nomination and give him your votes: http://www.entrepreneur.com/e2009/vote/established.php#633

The quality is terrible, but the warranty and the brand is killer. Definitely voted for Rick.

Yeah, I don't know why I quoted you. Sorry about that. Agreed on the office though, that's such a dope office. I would definitely love working there. Quality policies and in general a very well run brand.

not trying to hate but how is he an entrepreneur?  So he put some skulls on headphones and marketed them towards actions sports.  No new product, no new marketing schemes, just a rebranded product that has been around since the walkman.

seriously lol? Defination:  a person who organizes and manages any enterprise, esp. a business, usually with considerable initiative and risk. That was just a dumb comment, so your saying anyone who opens a restaurant isn't a entrepreneur because they didn't create food first?

Fail so hard it's not even funny. Here is a definition I found
a person who organizes and operates a business or businesses, taking on greater than normal financial risks in order to do so.
