Barretto has relied on Byrd to run interference for him with the other company, while supplying the tactical guidance that generally supports an investor-entrepreneur relationship. Another problem is that there's a potentially expensive litigation looming affecting copyright infringement by a bigger, well-financed opponent in the pet products marketplace. Byrd has to handle relationships that are possibly explosive, while discovering how best to guide Barretto to carry on and what is best for his company from an investment point of view.
