• 0:05

• 0:07
  Speaker 1: long time Ian as far as you advocated for him
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: to leave as CEO. So the day has come he
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: has stepped down. And obviously that's a big you know,
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: that's big. He's one of the most iconic CEOs of
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: our generation. Apple one of the most successful companies in
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: human history. It's a new day. It's a new day.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: A lot of people complained about the innovation, the lack
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: of innovation from Apple, So what is Tim Cook leaving mean?
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: A new era for Apple?
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: And I know a lot of you thought from the
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: headlines I was going to come in and gloat, but
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: at first I want to highlight some of the like
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: for things that he's done, because if you remember the
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: day that Steve Jobs died, I remember my dad calling me.
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: He's like, yo, Steve Jobs died. How you feel he knew?
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: I was an avid fan. The stock was on a
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: volatile tear. So he brought structure to a Steve jobless company.
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: You got to give him his credit. The first company
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: to hit a trillion dollar evaluation two trillion, three trillion,
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: made that a four trillion dollar economy, nineteen hundred percent
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: return in fifteen years' largest buybacks, partner with Icon to
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: kind of get some of those things and order Apple
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: Watch services, AirPods, and brought legitimacy to a company that
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: was not well respected upon Wall Street before his tenure.
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: As to the innovation part, shot to everybody that I've
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: had a chance to talk to a HQ today, one
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: of the greatest parts that it's tough about being the leader,
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: and you guys talked about at the top of the
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: show is the power of relationships. So somebody dropped me
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: a little anidote. I know you were on him about
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: not investing in open Ai and missing out on Anthropic,
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: but what if hypothetically he was blocked from both telling
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: he made some enemies along the way that may have
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: prevented him from getting into some of these investments. So
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: greatest operator in our era, for sure, one of the
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: greatest tech executives ever, built one of the best supply
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: chains ever. I think he's leaving Apple and great hands.
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: He's still going to be executive chairman, which I said
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: he should be, and there's even some rumblings he's positioned
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: very well to maybe even take over as CEO or
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: Nike in a couple of years. Talk about a hell
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: of a turnaround story that would be if he can
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: leave the legacy and build that infrastructure and take that
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: infrastructure over to a dying American brand. So before I
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: get to my I told you, Souls, I want to
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: give him credit not only for making Apple a legitimate company,
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: but he was partially responsible for a lot of my
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: wealth creation from when I invested in Apple very early,
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: and I think he faced some headwinds and challenges that
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: he could not get over.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: Now that that's out the way.
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: From the bottom of my heart, A lot of times,
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: like people ask me like, how did you come up?
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: Even Todd Tom was like, yo, you work for agency.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: I was like, no, Bro.
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: Like a lot of this stuff, it just comes from
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: reading and understanding the life cycle. Like even when I
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: ask you guys media questions, you know something as a
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: hit or not. As soon as it's posted, I know
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: I got a hit post when Rasha get to tap
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: in like early.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: That's a metric. This is track right,
