Any specific reason for Palumbo and Species?
Well, Dave and co., are a young enterprise and need to find new comers who can be signed at a basement rate and can grow with the company. Species will be a major brand when the parent company re brands/packages it's products or comes out with a brand name which is more acceptable to the masses . . . something like Palumbo Performance of Rx-Performance.
THE BEEF thinks Dave could get Alexei for a small monthly stipend and 4 or 5 trips to America a year ( stay with Dave, get inside the industry, train with a great mind like Dave, learn the ropes and expose Europe to Species . . . all the Species Alexei can use. Everyone wants to see this kid . . . the booth would be packed.
