Living life as an embodiment of capitalism makes some things in life much easier. But no matter how wrong things go the important thing is to keep providing shareholder value, which in this case is pretty close to friendship. Mike Merrill decided thirteen years ago to become a publicly traded person, offering shareholders a degree of influence over his decision-making process. He describes what this experience taught him about honesty, relationships and personal worth.
