That seemed to make sense to me, so I followed it, and expected those who worked for me to follow it as well.<br \/>\nAfter I sold MicroSolutions I decided that I never would wear a suit again. I was able to hold true to that while I was making a lot of money trading stocks for the next 5 years, but then Todd and I started AudioNet which would morph into Broadcast.com.<br \/>\nWith our new business, I decided that I would have to wear a suit, but would modify the rule so that I would only wear a suit when someone I was selling to was wearing a suit. If they were selling to me, I didn&#8217;t care if they were wearing a tux. I was going to go comfortable and not wear a suit.<br \/>\nWhen Broadcast.com was sold, the suit went out the window completely. I vowed to never wear one again other than weddings and funerals, and only then because it wasn&#8217;t worth the hassle to deal with people asking why you didn&#8217;t wear a suit. I&#8217;m certain the people getting married dint care, and I don&#8217;t think anyone is going to be looking down at me wondering why I showed up at their funeral without a suit.
