Apple&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) former designer and a key mind behind the first iPhone, Jony Ive says the hardest part of creativity isn't dreaming up lofty ideas, it&#8217;s having the nerve to drop most of them — a lesson he learnt from Steve Jobs.
What Happened: In a 2014 on-stage conversation with Vanity Fair editor Graydon Carter, Apple's then–design chief recalled the single lesson Steve Jobs drilled into him: relentless focus. "This sounds really simplistic, but it still shocks me how few people actually practice this," Ive told the New Establishment Summit crowd.
Jobs, whom Jony Ive called "the most remarkably focused person I've ever met," kept score with a blunt question: "How many things have you said no to?" Ive confessed he sometimes produced "sacrificial" examples — projects he never liked anyway, only to be caught. True focus, he explained, means saying no &#8220;to something that, with every bone in your body, you think is a phenomenal idea,&#8221; because it distracts from the mission at hand.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio">

</div>
</figure>
The clip has resurfaced online as a pocket-sized master class in priority-setting, racking up millions of impressions on X and LinkedIn posts that repeat Ive's warning that focus is an "every-minute" discipline, not a Monday-morning resolution.

The mantra helps explain why Apple routinely axed promising prototypes, an approach former Wall Street Journal editor Walter Isaacson says let Jobs spend &#8220;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/24/04/38403093/steve-jobs-spent-hour-after-hour-on-product-design-he-cared-about-god-being-in-the-details-says-walt">hour after hour</a>&#8221; on seemingly the smallest bits of product design that made products iconic.
Why It Matters: Other CEOs have since borrowed the mantra. Salesforce's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRM#NYSE">CRM</a>) Marc Benioff credits a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45559653/steve-jobs-once-invited-marc-benioff-to-his-office-with-two-ipads-in-2010-the-lesson-that-shaped-a-270-billion-salesforce-empire">2010 chat with Jobs</a> for sharpening his own product discipline. Disney's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>) Bob Iger received a different kind of counsel as Jobs urged him to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40787212/steve-jobs-urged-bob-iger-to-retire-and-enjoy-life-before-its-too-late-heres-how-that-advice-shaped">retire and enjoy life</a> before it's too late, advice the executive says still frames how he paces his tenure at the entertainment giant.
Apple&#8217;s chief Tim Cook recalls that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42090539/tim-cook-goes-from-small-town-to-ceo-of-worlds-largest-company-why-he-believes-in-asking-lots-of-questions">Jobs&#8217; parting words</a>, shared the night before his death, were simply to do what he thought was right when it came to leading Apple.
Snowflake&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNOW#NYSE">SNOW</a>) Frank Slootman had his own key takeaway from Jobs&#8217; management philosophies. Slootman believes the late Jobs always either found a product &#8220;insanely great&#8221; or &#8220;sh&#x2A;t&#8221; and that approach ensured there was never any <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/management/25/05/45604617/steve-jobs-wasnt-happy-unless-things-were-insanely-great-and-thats-why-this-tech-ceo-is-passionate-about-moving-mental-boundaries-that-withhold-pe">room for mediocrity</a> within the company&#8217;s walls.

Why Blueprint Medicines Shares Are Trading Higher By 27%; Here Are 20 Stocks Moving Premarket

During a town hall in Butler County on Friday, Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) brushed off a voter's warning about the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45558613/house-advances-trumps-sweeping-one-big-beautiful-bill-after-key-medicaid-tax-and-border-security-changes">effects of losing healthcare</a> with a reminder about collective mortality, drawing widespread criticism.
What Happened: Ernst was questioned about President Donald Trump's "big, beautiful bill", which includes major cuts to welfare programs like Medicaid, according <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/06/01/joni-ernst-medicaid-comments/">to</a> The Washington Post.
When a participant warned that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care/25/05/45344596/house-republicans-push-880-billion-medicaid-cuts-to-renew-trump-tax-breaks-democrat-warns-millions-will-lose-their-health-care">people could die if Medicaid coverage was taken away</a>, Ernst replied, "Well, we all are going to die." "So, for heaven's sakes. For heaven's sakes, folks," she added.
On Saturday, Ernst posted a 24-hour Instagram Story video that seemed to make fun of the criticism she received for her comments.
Filming from a cemetery, she said, "I made an incorrect assumption that everyone in the auditorium understood that, yes, we are all going to perish from this earth." "So I apologize, and I'm really, really glad that I did not have to bring up the subject of the tooth fairy as well," she added, ending the vide with a religious message: "For those that would like to see eternal and everlasting life, I encourage you to embrace my Lord and savior Jesus Christ."

Why It Matters: The bill at the center of the controversy is projected by the Congressional Budget Office to withdraw Medicaid coverage from 8.7 million people and raise the number of uninsured Americans by 7.6 million over the next ten years.
In Iowa, where one in five residents depends on Medicaid, including half of all nursing home occupants, the damage could be severe.
Democrats were quick to respond to Ernst's statements. "Everybody in that audience knows that they're going to die. They would just rather die in old age, at 85 or 90, instead of dying at 40," said Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) on CNN.

Medicaid Cuts Backlash Grows As Sen. Joni Ernst Tells Voters 'Well, We All Are Going To Die,' Mocks Critics From A Cemetery

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) expressed agreement with President Donald Trump on eliminating the federal debt ceiling while sharply criticizing proposed tax breaks for wealthy Americans amid escalating fiscal concerns.
What Happened: Warren shared a video of Trump&#8217;s remarks on her X account, stating: &#8220;Trump and I agree: the debt limit should be scrapped to prevent an economic catastrophe. Let&#8217;s pass a bipartisan bill and get rid of it forever. But jacking up the debt limit by $4 trillion to fund more tax breaks for billionaires is an outrage.&#8221;
In the video, Trump acknowledged Warren&#8217;s longstanding position, saying: &#8220;Elizabeth Warren and various other people would like to see that. Her whole career, she wanted to see it terminated, gotten rid of, not being voted on every five years or ten years. And the reason was because it&#8217;s so catastrophic for our country. And I always agreed with her.&#8221; 
Trump noted the debt ceiling&#8217;s automatic four-year extension in current legislation, calling potential defaults &#8220;too catastrophic.&#8221;

Why It Matters: Trump&#8217;s debt ceiling support connects to his &#8220;One Big, Beautiful Bill,&#8221; which passed the House 215-214 but faces Senate resistance. The legislation uses a four-year debt ceiling extension to enable $3.8 trillion in additional deficit spending, according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45634863/gop-senators-threaten-to-block-trumps-tax-and-spending-bill-over-deficit-medicaid-cuts-and-debt-ceil">Congressional Budget Office estimates</a>.
Warren agrees on eliminating the debt ceiling permanently but opposes the current $4 trillion increase for what she calls billionaire tax breaks.

Economist Lyn Alden warns that U.S. fiscal deficits are an unstoppable force, driving demand <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45610847/bitcoins-setup-exact-same-like-golds-explosion-during-1970s-says-analyst-but-critics-have-something-to-add">for scarce assets</a> like Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) and gold.
What Happened: Speaking at Bitcoin conference 2025 last week, Alden popularized the phrase &#8220;nothing stops this train&#8221;—borrowed from the show Breaking Bad—to describe a fiscal trajectory that, in her view, is now governed by both mathematical inevitability and political intransigence.
"We're in a system where the brakes are gone," she <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Giuzcd4oxIk">said</a>. "Raising interest rates only accelerates the federal deficit faster than it slows private borrowing."
Using historical data, Alden demonstrated how federal deficits used to rise during recessions and shrink during recoveries. 
That relationship broke down after 2017. Since then, unemployment has remained low while deficits have ballooned, reaching 6–7% of GDP outside of crisis periods.
"This is not just cyclical," she argued. "It's structural."
A major factor is demographics. 
As the Baby Boomer generation retires, Alden noted that Social Security's $3 trillion trust fund will be spent down, injecting more money into the economy while limiting political appetite for fiscal restraint.

"It's the third rail of U.S. politics," she said. "No party will touch it."
The result: long-term, unavoidable deficits that persist regardless of the business cycle or who wins elections.
Alden likened the system to a "shark that must keep swimming." 
Citing data from 110 years of debt history, she showed that total debt levels almost never decline. 
"The last time total U.S. debt dropped meaningfully was during the Great Depression and even in 2008, when it fell slightly, the Fed responded by ballooning the monetary base from $1 trillion to $6 trillion."
With U.S. debt now exceeding 100% of GDP and interest rates no longer structurally declining, Alden warned that interest expenses are consuming a rising share of federal outlays. 
"We're in Wonderland," she said. "The tools that worked for decades now operate in reverse."
What&#8217;s Next: In contrast to fiat's "flexible ledger," Alden positioned Bitcoin as a fundamentally different system: one based on absolute scarcity, transparency, and a fixed supply.
"The fiat system always falls back on printing more units," she said. "Bitcoin doesn't allow that."
Her conclusion: The only rational hedge against this unsustainable trajectory is to hold "the highest quality scarce assets, "chief among them, Bitcoin.
