Comment on Ask HN: Who are examples of ethically upstanding founders/CEO to model after?

Comments

Not sure exactly what you're looking for, but look up Tom Murphy and Dan Burke (of Capital Cities/ABC).

They had a peculiar frugal no-nonsense no-BS style of doing business.

Actually, I read the book "The Ride of a Lifetime" by Robert Iger, who is/was the CEO of Disney (he had originally retired, but apparently they made him CEO again).

While Igers seems like a cool person (as per his own book) I found his descriptions of Tom and Dan even more interesting. It was from this book that I first heard about them.
