But I think of him as one of the great thinkers we have today. He doesn't create for the masses. He creates for a core group of people. Seth says to imagine this (it's the essence of his creation, his art and his business): "You have a microphone, what are you going to do with it? My formula is I wake up in the morning and think about the people I seek to serve. That's all I do. And I don't reverse engineer it. I make it so that I...
