Todd Hoffman, is a bit of a narcissist. He know just enough to think he knows it all, and in reality he is a completely clueless when it comes to mining. He insists on running the equipment when ever anything crucial is about to take place, and he is simply a terrible operator. He has no clue how to lean on the expertise of his crew, he keeps doing the most basic mistakes. He does not know the basics of running machines, maintenance, capabilities, risk factors. He does exactly the wrong things, at precisely the wrong times. This makes him really entertaining to watch though, since he keeps doing the same insanely stupid things over and over.
If he fails at something, he is always blaming the equipment, and the persons standing closest to him.
He has this weird idea, that the only thing that held him back in the past was the quality of the equipment.
But no, It was the naivety of a toddler, falling for scams, and going on wild goose chases without realizing his own limitations.
Luck, will only get you this far. IF he'd hired actual miners to RUN his mine, he would be a success.
But yeah, to sum it up, it's hilarious to see him elaborate and go on about things completely unrelated to the problems he is facing, as if he knows what he's talking about. He has the audacity of talking down the people who actually has half a clue.
