I have had the pleasure of working with and around some of the most creative and interesting people in the last 45 years. And they have all influenced me and polished my thought and work process. Given me things to shoot for. 

Trip is one of those leaders I really liked to listen to. 

- Susan

Simple, Hot and Deep An entrepreneurs creed I learned this phrase from working with Trip Hawkins indeed That's the key to a good consumer product make it easy to navigate, sleek in design and just this side of crazy Make it feature rich and customizable Give the consumer the controls so it's not lazy It's the fantasy of control that drives a consumers engagement and enjoyment, that relevant detail lost on many a developers deployment As a producer I see it time and again they get lost in bad interface and endless steps to get to the end Trip isn't always right, he was responsible for the single button mouse on the MAC. And us experienced PC users make bawdy remarks about that and a few wise cracks. But Trip is a genius and inspirational to boot. And I listen intently whenever he opens that chute Because the nuggets of truth and refined thought that pour out are gold mine worthy, have no doubt. Simple, hot and deep.

Like the way you combined good business skills with poetry. And interesting too. The title made me think of a different subject, but I guess that's the point.

Thanks, I was just trying to encapsulate the thought.
