George Murphy, Captain of the S.S. Bigshot

Here’s an interesting interview with one of the people who have steered the big, big, BIG ships: George Murphy, founder of the Modo-Group. After law school, George went to work for “a small regional coffee roaster and retailer” which went on, quickly, to become Starbucks. He handled all of the in-house creative and design, and then went over to Coke and did the same thing, while also helping move things for McDonald’s here and there.
