RE: HardFork Welcomes Overstock.com’s CEO Patrick Byrne to its Advisory Board!

in #story6 years ago

I've met Patrick and he's definitely a good mind for thinking creatively.

My first meeting with him was in his office in SLC to discuss his pending ideas on starting an eBay-like auction division for Overstock. He was in a Hawaiian shirt, looking disheveled and a little worn out, sitting in a high back office chair that had a noticeable rip on one side, but hastily repaired with some duct tape.

Our meeting was to take place on a small, round glass table in the corner, next to a huge LoveSac (another Utah company), but first we had to clear off the Taco Bell bags and wrappings, presumably leftover from a previous meeting.

This was years ago, but I'll never forget it.

Haha, that’s awesome!
