So to me that interview reeks more of desperation than anything else, and is very unprofessional for an owner of a company to even do.

Which interview is that? The 2013 interview with 3D Art Direct? And why shouldn't an owner of a company not be interviewed? I don't understand this logic.

Go look on hivewire's website to see the interview. Interviewing owners is one thing; airing dirty laundry is another... Especially when you leave out important details.
