Hey Duff, any chance you are going to go Mass Market Retail like Cakeboss did?

I tried a CakeBoss retail cake, and while pretty good, certainly didn't live up to what I had expected. I sort of feel like that diluted his brand.

Hey Marc, thanks for coming to reddit.

I've noticed an evolution in your products of the years, perhaps a refinement. Can you talk a little bit about how you think Marc Eckō has developed and whether it went down the path you intended when you started?

I certainly agree with what you have said. The box for the CakeBoss cake even mentioned that it was a licensed product produced at a certain place, not necessarily a CakeBoss creation. Certainly not knocking the product, but that goes along with exactly what you said.

Oversight on something of such a great scale would certainly be a full time job. It would be easier to design a product, license it out to a reputable company, and bask in the profits, but is that the best course of action for maintaining brand standards and quality assurance? I'm not sure.

Oh, and certainly, thank you for taking the time out of your schedule to answer some pesky interweb folk's questions!

Good morning, Sir.

I was part of HHC DIV, 101st ABN with Gen Petraeus at the time of the invasion of Iraq. Interesting to have served with that man as well. Seemed he was certainly politically sighted at the time.

I have a question regarding your thoughts on social media and how it will transform war in the future. Do you think that the instant sharing of information on social media will drastically change the face of war in an urban environment? What impact do you think it will continue to have on "insurgent's" strategies, etc?
