> In interviews he was always more real to me, more humble.

Guessing you haven't seen TLI. Watch it then come back and tell us he wasn't humble deep down inside. Steve was just really proud of his company and wanted it to excel past the norms.

I had not, no. I'm not sure that was a particularly humble interview, but he's at least more down to earth than I've seen him otherwise.

The little voice in me still critiques his methodology of working with others: he may have been smart, but he didn't need to be such a dick. I don't say that so much to put him down, but as my own reference that I don't need to be a jerk to people to get good work from them. (I feel some people have different take aways)

For those of you confused, it seems TLI is "The Lost Interview": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJenqhpwvlA
Thank you for linking this, it was worthwhile to watch for sure.
