As far as friendships go things change even without the fame. People start moving on. I have a few friends that are married and are starting to have kids and I'm like 'Oh my goodness gracious - that's so insane.' I also have friends who are just doing their own thing which is cool.
The creative destruction that social media is currently unleashing will change more than technology or the leader board of the Fortune 100. It is driving a qualitative shift in the nature of relationships between brands and their customers.
I just think that sometimes we hang onto people or relationships long after they've ceased to be of any use to either of you. I'm always meeting new people and my list of friends seems to change quite a bit.
John D. Rockefeller wanted to dominate oil but Microsoft wants it all you name it: cable media banking car dealerships.
I learned from Mr. Wrigley early in my career that loyalty wins and it creates friendships. I saw it work for him in his business.
You have to stick out the toughness of the business and form relationships with the people in it.
Politics are about preserving relationships at the end of the day and it has nothing to do with the greater good for humanity. It's just all about business.
Most of my relationships were people in the business. Having said that me and Tim don't really talk that much about work. He comes into my bit of the house every so often to vent but we don't really have very high cultured conversations.
The sad truth is that without complex business partnerships between African elites and European traders and commercial agents the slave trade to the New World would have been impossible at least on the scale it occurred.
I'm someone who loves to enjoy life and tries to focus on real things and real friendships. That's why I live very simply. I'm a jeans and T-shirt kind of girl. I don't spend much time fixing myself up or trying to look cool. I live like a normal person and even though I'm in a very high-profile business I really don't let it affect the way I live.
