Every category that company lives in, they're the kings of it.

So they're the absolute best on this planet at it.

So when you're around great guys like that, you learn so much stuff and you see what the possibilities are.

We'd have people on our staff that were like regional managers for Disney.

Or they were regional managers for Starbucks.

Or they were like national vice presidents for Radio Shack or Circuit City.

Remember those companies?

And now they're just salespeople for us.

Making similar money and just doing great, great, great work.

So Apple's philosophy was come in.

Do your best work for a few years and then go out and create something special in the world.

So Apple really likes people to leave after five years.

There's some people that stick around longer.

But like the NFL, you come in, let's get you in your prime and then do whatever you're going to do.

Except Apple really values your progression outside of that.

And that all came from Steve Jobs.

Steve Jobs had something that I find I have myself in the sense that I'll look at a company or situation and I'll see the good and I'll see the bad in it.

Where like I could go to a hotel and I'd be like, oh my God, these guys are up right here so bad.

They're getting the experience right here by this one thing and no one sees it.

Steve would do that all the time.
