      We both kept it short.

      Just basic questions about what it was like to co-found Apple. How he felt about the current state of the company (Apple was on the brink of collapse) things like that. I had trouble finding his perspective in the many books I read on Apple so I asked him.

      He responded with very loving answers and asked me a few questions about myself. He emailed again and what really stuck out was that he told me how proud he was of his own son who was just a little younger than me, I think he was graduating high school around that time. He also wished me success in life because I told him that I was close to graduating college.

      He was just the kindest, sweetest, and most down-to-earth family man you could imagine.

      Sometimes meeting your heroes is actually a blessing.

        He very well might be but coming to that conclusion from a couple emails without ever meeting the guy is a bit much, especially when it could’ve been someone impersonating him
