Question one. You went to Stanford Business School in the late eighties. And then you're in the center of the company creation universe, in the most exciting time in the world. And you became a fucking management consultant? Question two.

How could you work at Disney for eight years? Those guys are fucking bozos. Jordan saw the questions for what they were. A Steve Jobs stress test. I'll cop to the first one, Jordan said.
