I do think an industry is often shaped by the early leaders or group of people around them. Those people shape the dominant company in that space, and then go off to spread that culture in other companies that they start or join. And, compe

Agreed. I'd also add he's intellectually honest enough to not overhype what's happening just to hype whatever he's working on or appear to be a thought leader. Just very clear, pragmatic, and intellectually honest though
