Didn't Spencer get his MBA while working full time for Harmonic Drive? Wonder if they paid all his grad school costs and gave him time off to go? Probably, since he did some great work for them!

Didn't Spencer minor in marketing when he got his BS-Math degree with a second minor in physics? Bet Spencer has seen more high level math than most engineers. No doubt an asset in developing high tech robotics solutions?

Lots and lots of direct sales and marketing (both B2C and B2B) experience seems to me...

He did own and operate 4 stereo shops for 6 years, PROFITABLY, when he was in his twenties.
