another video up on Instagram. A lot of his followers seem to be interested. Over 20000 views so far. Why not offer him small amount of shares to further the cause. By far strongest endorsement to date. His celeb and connections could make big impact, if it hasnt already. We would be fools not to at least ask him to do something more. Just thinking out loud.

My guess is that MNKD and Dame need to keep some separation or else Dame will be bound by the same FDA constraints as MNKD. Also, it would be insulting to offer him a couple of dollars and we can't afford much more than that.

While I understand that Dame would be constrained to the same regulations as MNKD, have you actually seen his feed on Instragram? The dude pulls out his Dreamboat, tells his daughter that "back in the day your daddy if he ate this he would have to take a needle" loads the inhaler "now all I have to do", inhales. His daughter asks "did it hurt", he replies "no it didnt hurt, NO NEEDLES" and finally "this is great!". This has been viewed over 20,000 times. In 1 day! No offense to the original Afrezza crew; Afrezzauser, Spiro, and Eric etc, but they do not have the reach a celeb does. We have a happy celeb using Afrezza. Having people talking about it, for example some comment on his: "This is amazing, I need to put my dad up on this.", "Hey dame... is it for type 1 or type2...could help with my situation fam", "What medication was that? No needles is a dream for many." , "how can I get this for my mom?". This needs to be driven home. People are obviously VERY curious about Afrezza. But no spokesman. Not a freaking 1. We have been available to the public since Feb of 2015, correct. Yet, we cant do what Dame does if we tried. This guy takes a 20 second video and has this kind of reaction from his followers. I think we should pursue, dont you. Someone with this kind of influence will drive rxs and help get MNKD over this hump. Pull the damn trigger Mike.

His passion in the shareholder video when talking about how Afrezza needs to be successful because his life depends on it. That was such a passionate, heartfelt advertisement. If you haven't watched it, you need to do so.

I respectfully disagree. He has more credibility as a happy customer with no financial ties to the company than he would have as a celebrity spokesman.

Just seems that while he is happy with, the number of people whose question goes unanswered is the problem. His feed reaches a lot of people yet, the unanswered questions frustrate me. Who will answer them.? Not Dame.

Few of Damon's posts / videos on instagram have anything close to the 20K+ views his recent Afrezza video has. Most of his posts on instagram have something like 4000 to 7000 views. Some only have hundreds. That suggests to me that most of the 20K+ views of his Afrezza video happened not because of Damon's 'popularity' but rather because people saw it for some other reason. Maybe someone posted a link to it over at stocktwits, or on some diabetes board? What I'm saying is, I'm not sure he draws as many eyeballs as you think. It looks like Afrezza is bringing him attention, not vice versa.

It was just posted on stock twits but not until 2:00 am monday night into Tuesday morning. But... I don't think we need to put him on staff. Watch from 25 minutes to 30 minutes in the stockholders meeting. He's passionate about it succeeding without being paid. I think that carries more value. Those 5 minutes in that shareholders meeting are amazing.

But anyway I just looked and it was also posted by Livingandlearning yesterday at 1:19 pm on ST under MNKD. And I'd bet money that others posted it elsewhere as well. Again, my point is that the video almost certainly had as many views as it did because of Afrezza, not because of Damon Dash's 'popularity'. When he relies on his popularity alone, the views he attracts are way less (as evidenced by his other instagram posts).

However, one can not deny the impact a celebrity has. Although his views normally range from 4k to 7k, an original user of Afrezza would probably not have that kind of pull, agreed? Maybe, however, Afrezza and Dash are like Ying & Yang, counteracting each others movements, haha. People curious about an inhalable insulin coupled with a well known individual, makes for great videos!

Side note on the whole conversation. "Afrezza needs a celebrity spokesmen" Why? Because physicians are not prescribing it. Because physicians are owned by big pharma and will not tell you or give you afrezza?
We need Damon to inform physicians? physicians that specialize?
We need physicians. There are some really good physicians out there. Their hands have been tied? Their brains have been controlled? We need insurance.

Mike has been very excited about Dash for a long time. For one he is a big star in the black community.
This is a new dawn, Mike's got this! I don't think we need to tell him how to run his business:-)
