#75 Henry Clay Frick: Andrew Carnegie's Partner
Transcribed with NVIDIA Parakeet · Timestamps stay in sync with the live audio
Charles Swab summarized Frick to an interviewer in the nineteen thirties. No man on earth could get close to him or fathom him. He seemed more like a machine. Without emotion or impulses. Absolutely cold blooded.
He had good foresight. And was an excellent bargainer. His assets were that he was a thinking machine. Methodical as a comptometer. Accurate.
Cutting straight to the point. The most methodical thinking machine I have ever known. John D. Rockefeller said he had the soul of a bookkeeper. That he seemed to earn money. Like many pursue athletic awards.
