A lot of people have tried and failed to land jobs at Google.
One particularly smart individual slipped through the cracks.
Daniel Ek, CEO and founder of $4 billion music company, Spotify, was denied a job at the search giant.

“I’ll just make my own search engine, it can’t be that hard,” he said to Lacy. “It turns out it’s really, really hard.”
