Hi r/Apple,

We’re excited to announce that Ron Johnson will be joining us for an AMA on Friday, October 30 at 12:00pm ET.

Ron joined Apple in 2000 to create the Apple Store alongside Steve Jobs and led Apple Retail until 2011. His new book, Shop Different: How Retail Revealed Apple’s Genius, written with Zander Nethercutt, tells the story of building the Apple Store and what came after.

How it will work:

• Ron will answer questions in a separate AMA thread that will be posted around the start time.

• Zander will also be around so feel free to drop any questions regarding the writing process

• Please keep questions on topic and follow the usual subreddit rules.
