People almost always act first, then rationalize later. Whenever someone gives a profound argument for their behavior, it's rationalization rather than reality almost 100% of the time.<p>Thus when someone claims that their mohawk and f-bombs are part of a calculated persona, you can almost always be sure that that was originally just the way that person was, then came the rationalization that it's a calculated move to achieve some goal, which in turn reinforced and exaggerated the original behavior.<p>The upshot is, if he worked at McDonald's rather than his own startup, he'd probably still have a mohawk and drop f-bombs. He's just a mohawk wearing, f-bomb dropping kinda guy.<p>(That's not meant to be judgmental.)
