In this episode, I talk about the idea of the 50 people that Steve Jobs had when he was at Apple, and how he created a team of 50 people to drive the company forward. It s a concept that I think a lot of people can relate to.

00:00:00.000 Steve Jobs called it the 50 people.
00:00:01.560 When he was at Apple, he would tap on the shoulder,
00:00:03.980 this person in marketing, that person in engineering.
00:00:06.280 And every quarter they would go to Half Moon Bay
00:00:08.080 and they would do an offsite with Steve.
00:00:09.960 And there was no rhyme or read.
00:00:10.900 It was literally, does Steve think you're smart?
00:00:12.580 And he would spend a weekend with you
00:00:14.480 because he said to himself,
00:00:16.000 these are the 50 people that if I had to do it all over
00:00:18.240 and start from zero again, this would be my crew.
00:00:20.680 And it turned out he had to do that
00:00:22.040 when he got kicked out and started next.
00:00:23.480 But that concept for a lot of people that are ambitious,
00:00:25.980 they literally get asked themselves,
00:00:27.160 am I building my 50?
00:00:28.780 Do I have lieutenants? Do I have partners?
00:00:30.740 You want to hire people that are actually going to drive the business forward
00:00:32.840 and then come with ideas and solutions.
