I mean, typically...

Most people through life, they get some perspective, often build families and have just sort of new life events that give them sort of a different point of view.

And it is something to keep in mind.

We do love...

what was required to be able to take that business to the next level.

Steve Jobs, he was one of one, right?

I think a unique and a larger than life leader.

He was a good leader.

And it doesn't sound like he was that easy to work with, but I think typically that's the case, right?
