"There is nothing Gus does that any of us couldn’t do as well — nothing."

Making good jerky is a skill honed with years of practice. I think Gus deserves more credit than this.

I don't think he meant literally "make good jerky and sell it on the web..." He is pointing out someone who is doing well, serving a small niche. This shows that small success is within the reach of most, and that you don't have to have a idea for the next Google to succeed.

Unless you really have to have that private jet.

Exactly. Born and raised in Texas (still here), I've tasted PLENTY of bad jerky in my time, and we're a state that loves meat.
