As a partnership goes they are probably top of the foodchain.

He may come accross like a knowitall, but he's probably seen it all, and I'm sure he's speaking from experience.

There's a LOT of people involved with the sport, just like that! don't dare question them.....they're NEVER wrong!

I guess it depends what capacity you know him. I like him, and I like when a guy does well and doesn't mind telling people. There's not enough guys like Irwin running these partnerships. If you put all these partnerships side by side Team Valor lays on the rest of the major groups. Irwin shouldn't be humble, when he deals w his ppl he needs to tell them he's the man. He runs the show and his ppl have been given a wonderful opportunity to be successful in a brutal business. Take Irwin out of the equation all his novice owners take a substantial loss and probably are one and done owners.

When people say you cannot make money in this business it's absolute bullshit. When I have sat these partnership seminars that's how they open " it's fun don't plan on making money" I think that's poor. There's so many idiots doing this stuff anybody with any brains, who truly knows, will turn a profit. Hence Irwins success
