Funny you say that. My buddy took me to an Asian restaurant owned by a friend of his in north LA. I have done Marketing / Advertising consulting and the owner sat down at our table and asked me what I thought of the place. I started polite and then my buddy told me to let him have it and I did. The food in the place was literally gourmet Asian but the atmosphere made OMI look like Commander's Palace. Plastic tablecloths, 1980's neon beer signs, posters unframed and stuck to the wall with thumbtacks, etc. The guy literally had no clue. To answer your question about taking criticism, he went and grabbed two bottles of good wine and a notepad. He wrote down everything I said. It wasn't amazing as if I had some grand insight, it was amazing that he had never thought about any of the things I pointed out.
