A New York entrepreneur recently shared on social media how Apple CEO Tim Cook “changed his life.” Sahil Bloom called Cook his mentor, saying his guidance came when he felt lost.
He posted on X (formerly Twitter), “Had dinner with a friend and mentor in Omaha. @tim_cook pushed me to think differently and follow my energy when I was lost. It changed my life.”
In a photo of them smiling, Bloom added, “He’s brilliant and successful, but more importantly, a good man.” The post got over 300,000 views and 2,000 likes.
