I'm a 69-year-old startup founder and former PayPal and Intuit CEO. I bike to work, take midday naps in my closet, and use index cards to stay organized.

"We provide our largely high-net-worth clients with investment management and financial advice, using AI to enhance our services.

He remains engaged in work, plans to study at the University of Cambridge, and follows a morning routine centered on brief email checks, bike preparation, and reflective thinking without breakfast or showering at home.
