Steve Jobs and Edwin Land

So a few months ago I spent about seven hours at John Mackie, the founder of Whole Foods. And it was during one of our conversations that John told me One of the craziest things that anyone has ever said about the podcast By the time I met him, he had already listened to over a hundred episodes. And he told me that if founders existed when he was younger, that Whole Foods would still be an independent company.

that since the podcast and all of history's greatest entrepreneurs constantly emphasize the importance of controlling expenses. he would have made it much more of a priority. Especially During good times. during boom times. I think it is very natural for a company

And for human nature. To not watch your cost as closely. Because everything is going so well. In fact You're gonna hear something similar happens to Edwin Land late in his career. After Edwin Land was semi coaxed into retirement by Polaroids board.
