Yeah, just marketing, getting the interest of investors and customers, and motivating a workforce to fanatical devotion while running a startup that creates a new market. Any fool can do that.

thats because they were.

Steve Jobs especially… he lived on communes and traveled India for soul searching. he also tripped LSD multiple times and said it was one of the 2 best things that he ever did. read his wiki page it has the interview where he said that.
