#235 Steve Jobs (The Pixar Story)

Steve Jobs had been hunting for a CFO of Pixar and reached out to Jordan. who agreed to meet jobs for breakfast. I show up in my suit jacket, Jordan recalled. And Jobs walks in in torn clothes twenty minutes late. Jobs had only two interview questions for Jordan.

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.
