Steve Jobs was famously dismissive of anyone who wasn’t a “product person,” and even included Tim Cook in that description. But both he and Cook have said that they learned business from a man who never made a single product, and instead became rich through investing in people who did.
There’s never been someone like Warren, and countless people, myself included, have been inspired by his wisdom. It’s been one of the great privileges of my life to know him. And there’s no question that Warren is leaving Berkshire in great hands with Greg. pic.twitter.com/7p5zXtq5hP
