Met his parents once, while working in retail.

They wanted to see, if we were selling nest devices. I told them no, but they could find them in this and that shop.

They answered something along the lines: “Don’t worry, we already have enough of them. Our son Tony invented those, and everytime we travel around the world, we would check, if stores would sell them and send him a picture.”

They were really nice.

wait till they hear about how he also lead the creation of iPod and iPhone.
Not the same.

At nest he was the founder.
