“It's 1985. You just got fired from the company you built. You have $100 million and a grudge. What do you do?”
Your First Crossroads
It's 1985. You're 30 years old, and you just got fired from Apple — the company you co-founded in your parents' garage. You built the Macintosh. You ran the Super Bowl ad that changed advertising forever. And now you're out.
The board sided with the CEO you personally recruited from Pepsi. Your own board voted against you. Silicon Valley is writing your obituary.
But here's the thing: you walked away with $100 million. You're young, you're furious, and you have something to prove.
