Steve Jobs started Apple as a twenty-one-year-old with his best friend in his parents’ garage. Apple helped to launch the personal computer industry and became a billion-dollar company, but he made enemies out of almost everybody he encountered and eventually he was dramatically forced out. After leaving, he founded Pixar and began creating state-of-the-art animated films, whilst Apple started to decline and eventually began haemorrhaging money. A decade after being fired, he returned and took Apple from the brink of bankruptcy to the most valuable company in the world. He helped to launch personal computers, MP3 players, smart phones, and tablet computers, and completely revolutionised the computer industry, the film industry, and the music industry. He had such a massive impact on our world despite having zero technical expertise. Instead, he had incredible vision, taste, passion, charisma, energy, drive, and determination.
Wow, a fast paced no holds barred insightful tour through Steve Jobs life that gives a real sense of the man, the good, bad and ugly. This left me wondering whether I would have liked to emulate him, meet him or sit and listen to him at a dinner party…….
