Agreed, I'm willing to admit its common but not universal. Whether its someone like Woz who got his corporate seat and influence by being there from the beginning, Lebron James who is a once in a generation athlete but runs various companies while knocking elbows with high ups a Nike etc., there are counter-examples of good people who also hold positions of authority in corporate circles.
right but those are the exceptions that prove the rule. its so rare that its known as exceptional when it does happen
