“I don’t know how long I’ll be there,” Cook admitted. “I love it there. I can’t envision my life without being there, and so I’ll be there for a while.”

00:00 Apple's Tim Cook recently spoke to Dua Lipa about a very detailed succession plan for
00:03 someone else to take his job.
00:05 And although he has no plans to leave anytime soon, the CEO revealed that there are several
00:09 people lined up to one day take the top position.
00:12 On Dua Lipa's podcast, At Your Service, Cook said he will be at Apple for a while and can't
00:16 envision his life without being there.
00:18 But he hasn't prevented the team from succession planning, saying, "We have a very detailed
00:22 succession plan because something that's unpredictable can always happen."
00:25 And while Cook didn't specify who exactly will take over the helm, he did confirm it
00:29 will likely be an internal candidate as opposed to an external recruit.
00:32 Cook said, "My job is to prepare several people for the ability to succeed, and I really
00:36 want that person to come from within Apple."
