Vinny O Brien reflects on a Harvard gathering honoring Staples' late founder, arguing that individual success isn't earned alone. It comes from ancestors, mentors, peers, friends, and family who shaped the path.
Years ago, I was in a meeting with some guys that were at Harvard where they were talking about one of their colleagues who passed away. He was the guy that started Staples. And one of the things that he said in raising a toast to this guy is none of us made it here by ourselves. We're all the product of others who got us here. And so these guys may be the smartest, some of the smartest people on the planet. They could all be saying, hey, look how cool we are. Look at all the accomplishments. What they talked about was the value of who got them there. And, uh, our ancestors are hugely important. So are the people that we surround ourselves with in the industry and our, you know, our friends and our family is huge, hugely important.
