So as you guys can hear, I'm French.
I came to the US a while back, mid-90s, to go to Stanford.
My plan was to move to Asia because for some reason I wanted to be in Hong Kong.
And I met Steve Jobs.
My classmate Steve Jefferson invited Steve Jobs to talk to the business school students.

Steve Jobs sat on the floor at the time he was at the lowest.
He complained about the price and he said, it doesn't matter, I'm going to go back and change the world.
And I think, I want to fucking do that.
I want to be a tech entrepreneur.
So I did my first company, ironically, with John Scully, the very guy who fired Steve Jobs.
It's funny because Goddard was talking about John Scully as an investor.
Indeed, he was not as tech savvy as he could have been.
But that first company I did was successful.
It was Photoshop for Dummies.
That was a software?
It was a software.
At the time, it's hard to imagine for most of you, but at the time, software was on CDs, and you would ship it.
You couldn't download it.
