I try to consume anything Steve says in these types of video. He might have been a terrible person sometimes but he is the greatest business man ever.

- timothevs 8y agoI agree. Whatever he might have been in his personal life, his business sense, and marketing acumen really make it a pleasure to watch the keynotes, and video interviews. Full disclaimer, I was a full-on Apple fanboi from the Nineties to the mid 2010s.
- pandemic_region 8y agohope you cashed in on those shares !
- timothevs 8y agoYes sir. Though I held on to a fair share.
- mabbo 8y agoI think the important question we all need to ask ourselves is whether he was successful because he was an asshole, or whether he was successful despite being an asshole? A lot of people seem to think that 'asshole' is a stepping stone to success. With no evidence to support it either way, I try to live presuming that it was 'despite'. That Apple could have been ever greater had he managed to be assertive and strong without being abusive.
- perfmode 8y agoI vote “despite”. I’ve seen this a lot. People are assholes when young and then they mature and manage to maintain their effectiveness while inflicting less damage.
