Thanks for directing me to your post here, Jayshree, which is of greater worthiness than any comment I may add.

While I’ve listened to Jobs’s Stanford commencement speech a number of times, it dawns on me that I was also here in Portland at the same time as him and perhaps even saw the same Hare Krishna’s who were weekly serving him. ...I have old notes on business leadership from a conversation with his CFO, Debbie Coleman, that I should share with you. (...I am also reminded of the personal embarrassment I suffered at getting dumped the night I attended a party with him and Bill Gates in Pacific Heights and idiotically forced my date to leave the party early). Be well.

That's a great story! Yes, I would love to have you share your old notes, if ok - I can ping your subscription email ID if ok - no DMs on substack :-( - or we can connect on LinkedIn. I am sorry for your embarrassment - tough! I also know of someone who overslept and missed Bill Gates's morning meeting! lol.
