He preceded me at Bell Labs, and while some may think he was opportunist in earning his doctorate and then leaving, I chalked it up to his being smarter than most of us!

More power to him for recognizing the limitations and constraints of even being a superstar within large corporate life, and instead becoming the smart and capable right hand man to an early cable entrepreneur, then pioneering the cable industry move to consolidate many individual cable entities into a cable powerhouse. He also was smart to realize the power and value of content at the right time, keeping his Crown Jewels as part of the mega deal he made with our former employer at quite a healthy price.

His financial engineering, forming, reforming tracking stocks while being as tax efficient as possible, has dumb old me scratching my head, but also all the stock analysts and pundits. We are all reduced to not understanding but investing along side him in his various asset/rights shuffles and not having a clue when and how he’s going to pull rabbits out of his hat, but betting he no doubt will.

I think he’s been doing the Ted Turner, Larry Ellison, Bill Gates, etc thing, or more likely they’re doing the John Malone thing, by accumulating terra firma!!!

We can take a page out of his journal, and move our park benches as close to his big house on the ranch as possible and try to learn from the master about business and a well grounded life!

Did I mention I think highly of his intellect and living his life on his own terms and priorities?
