In this episode of the 1% of 1% podcast, JT Foxx sits down with Ron Johnson, the retail legend who created the Apple Store and the Genius Bar alongside Steve Jobs. Ron shares how a 3-hour conversation with Jobs led him to take a two-thirds pay cut to join Apple, why the stores paid zero commission, and the daily numbers he tracked as Apple retail grew to stores doing hundreds of millions a year. He also opens up about investing $50 million of his own money in JCPenney and losing all of it, the biggest mistake he made there, the time Elon Musk tried to recruit him to Tesla, and his final conversation with Steve Jobs. If you run any kind of business, this is a masterclass in customer experience, presentation, and thinking differently.
