What do Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, Larry Ellison, Richard Branson, Steve Jobs, Eric Schmidt, Michael Dell, Jeff Bezos, and Howard Schultz have in common? All of them are business leaders, many of them are well known innovators, and none of them have an MBA.
I'm sure you've heard of Bill Gates. He's number one on the Forbes list of the wealthiest people in the world. Warren Buffett is number two. Warren Buffett doesn't have an MBA although he does have a Masters in Economics. Jeff Bezos and Eric Schmidt have technology degrees. Sergey Brin is not on the list. Oddly, Sergey Brin has an honorary MBA, but I'm not sure that counts.
Our most famous MBA today... George W. Bush (Harvard '75).
What's the point? No point... just being a punk...

In addition to being our most famous MBA, Shrub is also world-class at execution. Fuck the designer's approach where feedback and user-data inform successive iterations of a strategy. Just drink heavily and tell all the little people to stop being pussies and just go execute!
Does Jack Welch have an MBA?
Jack Welch has an BS, MS, and PhD in chemical engineering. Jeffrey Immelt has an MBA from Harvard.
Execute!
