Jimmy Iovine spent his career working with the very best people he can.
People like John Lennon, Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty, Bono, Dr. Dre, Trent Reznor, Eminem.
And Jimmy knew, just like Steve Jobs knew, just like Jeff Bezos knew, that you always bet on talent.
In fact, Steve Jobs said that you must find the extraordinary people.
That a small group of A-plus players can run circles around a giant team of B and C players.
And Jeff Bezos set the tone from his very first shareholder letter when he said that... setting the bar high in our approach to hiring has been and will continue to be the single most important element of Amazon's success.
You must build a team that pursues the A-plus players.
That is exactly what Jimmy Iovine did, and that is exactly what Ramp did.
Ramp is the presenting sponsor of this podcast, and Ramp has the most talented technical team in their industry.
Becoming an engineer at Ramp is nearly impossible.
In the last 12 months, they have hired only 0.23% of the people that have applied.
This means that when you use ramp, you now have top tier technical talent and some of the best AI engineers working on your behalf 24 seven to automate and improve all of your business's financial operations.
And they do this on a single platform.
Ramp gives your business easy to use corporate credit cards for your entire team, automated expense reporting and cost control.
The longer you use RAMP, the more efficient your company becomes.
What kind of products can a team of A plus players build?
A product that creates so much value for their customers that the customers never leave.
RAMP is an example of that.
Last year, 12,059 businesses signed up for RAMP and only eight of the 12,059 businesses decided RAMP wasn't for them.
I run my business on RAMP and so do most of the other top founders and CEOs I know.
