Bono on Ive.
I’ve usually no time for Bono but I was impressed by his bit on Jonathan Ive in the 2013 TIME 100 listing.
His genius is not just his ability to see what others cannot but also how he applies it.

What the competitors don’t seem to understand is you cannot get people this smart to work this hard just for money.
