    Fired two days before I was born. Makes me feel like Home Depot and I were born on almost the same day.

    I have no friends from Atlanta and no interest in Atlanta sports. However, I have always liked the way Arthur Blank carries himself. He seems like a shark in the business world, but the kind of guy I could have a good conversation with. He's very likeable.

    The amount of class in this interview is infinite! Mr. Blank is one of the greatest and most charismatic businessmen I have ever seen.

    I like how all the employees are sending emails talking about how hard they work and get no where in company. They just release his book books 2018 and workers are mad. Those emails are being posted everyday from the thousands of workers.

    Someone should tell him to say off the sidelines. Every time you see him there, the Falcons get their ass beat

    Pay your HD employees a decent wage. They’re struggling and leaving your company in droves!

    My sister worked directly for Mr. Blank, many years. Very unique man. He was always very good to her. She passed away unexpectedly and Mr. Blank made sure everything was taken care of etc. Expressed genuine sympathy and care. The only time I ever spoke with a Billionaire, it wasn’t what I expected. Very kind and caring. Now I’m sure others would say different. At his level in the business World, I’m sure you can’t always be kind and caring but probably the opposite. I will say when he enters a room, you damn well know he’s someone. A huge presence.
