Built from the ground up. Literally.

Some people grow up near technology. MJ grew up watching people work with their hands, observing how things actually function before learning how to build them differently. That habit still shapes how he approaches every market, every team and every problem: observe first, treat complexity as patience, and never lose sight of the ground that gives perspective.
