If you read the Walter Isaacson book about Steve Jobs, two things stand out.
First, he transformed four industries: computers, music, film and phone.
Second: the incumbents in the music industry were initially very resistant to aligning pricing around the $0.99 Steve Jobs insisted on setting. He was right it: changed the entire music industry to sell music that way.
He negotiated all those deals by taking the executives of those music companies on a walk behind the Apple headquarters.
Walking is the path to brilliance.
