The Steve Ballmer Interview

We sit down with Steve Ballmer, the legendary former Microsoft
CEO and owner of the LA Clippers, for an epic conversation
covering his 34 years at Microsoft. Steve listened to our
Microsoft episodes and had some thoughts to share — and boy, did
he deliver. Steve takes us point-by-point through the original
IBM DOS deal that started everything, how he built Microsoft's
enterprise business from scratch, and offers his candid
reflections on missing mobile and search. We also cover the story
behind “developers, developers, developers”, the complexities of
his relationship with Bill Gates (including a year where they
didn't speak), and why he ultimately decided to step down as CEO.
Plus, we learn why Steve has held onto his Microsoft stock
through it all — giving him arguably the best investment track
record in the world over the last 10 years with his net worth
growing from $20B to $130B since leaving. And of course, we
couldn't resist also talking about his other passion: the
Clippers and Intuit Dome. Hit play and get ready to experience
the patented Steve Ballmer energy and fun on full display!
