The Story Behind This Song

Tom Conrad drove his father's Pontiac from Michigan to Silicon Valley as a teenager, inspired by the names signed inside a Macintosh case. He joined Pets.com (which lasted 19 months and became the poster child of the dot-com bust), then found his way to Pandora where he helped build music streaming for 80 million listeners. When Quibi burned through $2 billion and died, he told Lenny he was both embarrassed and grateful — because every failure had led to something he loved more.
