Have you ever hesitated to take action because you felt like you needed to have everything planned out in advance? Do you find yourself waiting for the perfect moment when all the details are clear before you move forward? If so, this episode is for you. Recently, I had a coaching conversation with someone who had a big vision—a dream of launching a corporate workshop that could have a massive impact. But instead of taking action, he was stuck in hesitation, waiting until he had everything figured out before making his move. During our conversation, I challenged this mindset by pointing out that many of history's greatest visionaries didn't wait for certainty—they took action despite their doubts. As we talked, I learned that he particularly admired one such visionary: Steve Jobs. Steve Jobs' 1983 Vision for the Future Back in 1983, Steve Jobs had a clear vision: he wanted to create a sleek, book-sized computer you could carry anywhere. His vision included a built-in radio that would wirelessly connect to databases and other computers, and anyone could learn to use it in just 20 minutes. And the price tag? He wanted it to cost under $1,000. The problem? It was 1983 and the technology didn't exist. It was impossible at the time! Yet, instead of waiting for the technology to exist, he took action. First, he built the Lisa—a massive, expensive, and ultimately failed computer. Jobs had recruited John Sculley (then CEO of Pepsi) to be Apple's CEO. However, by 1985, internal conflicts escalated between Jobs and Sculley, particularly over the direction of Apple and the disappointing sales of the Macintosh. The board sided with Sculley, stripping Jobs of his role in day-to-day operations. Frustrated, Jobs resigned from Apple. In a 2005 Commencement address given to Stanford University graduates, Steve said the following: So at 30, I was out. And very publicly out. What had been the focus of my entire adult life was gone, and it was devastating. I really didn't know what to do for a few months. I felt that I had let the previous generation of entrepreneurs down – that I had dropped the baton as it was being passed to me. I met with David Packard and Bob Noyce and tried to apologize for screwing up so badly. I was a very public failure, and I even thought about running away from the valley. But something slowly began to dawn on me — I still loved what I did. The turn of events at Apple had not changed that one bit. I had been rejected, but I was still in love. And so I decided to start over. I didn't see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life. During the next 5 years, I started a company named NeXT, another company named Pixar, and fell in love with an amazing woman who would become my wife. Pixar went on to create the world's first computer animated feature film, Toy Story, and is now the most successful animation studio in the world. In a remarkable turn of events, Apple bought NeXT, I returned to Apple, and the technology we developed at NeXT is at the heart of Apple's current renaissance. And Laurene and I have a wonderful family together I'm pretty sure none of this would have happened if I hadn't been fired from Apple. It was awful tasting medicine, but I guess the patient needed it. Sometimes life is going to hit you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith. I'm convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did. You've got to find what you love. And that is as true for work as it is for your lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. And don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking. Don't settle. Eventually, his vision became reality—the iPad and iPhone exist today because Jobs refused to wait for all the answers and he didn't give up when “life hit him in the head with a few bricks along the way.” In that same speech, Steve said: “You can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backward.” This is true for all of us. Waiting for clarity before taking action is a trap. Fear of Failure & The Power of Asking for Help My client also hesitated because he was afraid of putting himself out there and asking for help. Again, Steve Jobs set an example: At age 12, he called Bill Hewlett (of Hewlett-Packard) and asked for spare parts to build a frequency counter—and got a summer job working a dream job! Steve Job's success came from his willingness to act and fail publicly. One more quote from Steve Jobs: “Most people don't get those experiences because they never ask. Most people never pick up the phone and call, most people never ask and that's what separates, sometimes, the people who do things and the people that just dream about them. You've got to ACT! You've got to be WILING TO FAIL, To ‘crash and burn.' If you're afraid of failing, you won't get very far.” Key Takeaways from This Episode: ✔️ You don't need to have it all figured out before you start. ✔️ Taking action creates clarity—waiting does not. ✔️ Failure is part of the process—it's how you grow. ✔️ Asking for help isn't weakness—it's what successful people do. What's Your Next Step? If you've been hesitating, waiting for the “right” moment, I challenge you to trust your vision and take the next step—without needing to see the whole path. If you're an entrepreneur, a leader, or someone who knows they're meant for something bigger but find yourself stuck in hesitation, I'd love to help you get unstuck.

From third-party to first-party: Building a better data foundation What do you think of when I say “tech start-up?” Those words probably conjure up thoughts of a small team working out of the founder's garage somewhere in Palo Alto, Sunnyvale, or Cupertino. The reason that image springs to mind is because that is how a bunch of the biggest and most influential tech companies started out over the years. But who started this trend? Well, it's not a plucky start-up anymore, but the answer is Hewlett Packard. Way back in 1939, Bill Hewlett and David Packard founded HP in a one-car garage at 367 Addison Avenue, Palo Alto, which is now adorned with a plaque reading: The Birthplace of Silicon Valley. A lot has changed since then: Far from their fledgling days when they produced audio oscillators (which Disney used to test the sound equipment for the movie ‘Fantasia'!), HP is now a multinational IT mainstay. The original HP split into two companies in 2015: Hewlett Packard Enterprise for enterprise products and services, and HP Inc for its personal computer and printer business. The split between its B2B and B2C customers was reflected in its data architecture. Like many legacy businesses, HP found itself in a situation where it had separate platforms and data stores for commercial and consumer data managed by a plethora of different stakeholders, leading to a severely siloed data landscape. Over the last few years, HP has overcome these challenges by bringing together its fractured data landscape into a modern, composable data architecture befitting its history as the origin of the Silicon Valley mythology. To understand how HP went about this transformation, The Martech Weekly sat down with Kumar Ram, Global Head of Marketing Data Sciences, and Luis Alonzo, Head of Customer Data Strategy and Engineering.  Kumar and Luis's responses have been edited for clarity and congruency.

Bill Hewlett, co-founder of Hewlett Packard, is often quoted as saying that “More companies die of indigestion than starvation.” We learn from Adi Vaxman in this episode how to avoid falling apart when you experience a growth spurt. People's businesses often fail not because they never took off, but because they experienced a growth spurt they couldn't manage and fall apart or give up. Our guest, Adi Vaxman, is a Fractional COO through her firm Sheba Consulting (www.ShebaConsulting.com). Before this, she served as COO and General Manager at multiple international and VC-backed organizations. Adi explains how to recognize when you're in a growth spurt and three strategies you must use to avoid falling apart and "dying of indigestion."

What I learned from reading What I Learned Before I Sold to Warren Buffett: An Entrepreneur's Guide to Developing a Highly Successful Company by Barnett Helzberg Jr.This episode is brought to you by: Tiny: The easiest way to sell your business.

To which he replied, simply, "Send me the information. It will be confidential.”My conversation with Buffett lasted no more than half a minute.[8:00] My dream buyer for the family business all along was Warren Buffet.[11:00] "This can be the fastest deal in history," Buffett said."But what about due diligence?" I asked, surprised at how fast the negotiations were moving.Most suitors demand to see every scrap of paper you've ever generated and to interview every top manager.That wasn't Buffett's way. "I can smell these things, Buffett said. "This one smells good.”[12:00] First A Dream by Jim Clayton. (Founders #91)[13:00] Buffett on his management technique: “Managers run their own shows.They don't have to report to central management. When we get somebody who is a .400 hitter we don't start telling them how to swing.”[14:00] I was always taught that many, many people were out there developing ideas I could use. I have found that to be true throughout my life. These thoughts and ideas have all been borrowed or stolen from many wise people.Think of the world as your garden of marvelous people and ideas with unlimited picking rights for you.[17:00] Cable Cowboy: John Malone and the Rise of the Modern Cable Business by Mark Robichaux. (Founders #268)[23:00] Despite missteps, entrepreneurs are a special breed who do not give up on the larger goals.[24:00] It's not hard to express the quality we're looking for in metaphors. The best is probably a running back. A good running back is not merely determined, but flexible as well. They want to get downfield, but they adapt their plans on the fly. — Relentlessly Resourceful by Paul Graham[25:00] Entrepreneurs are driven to succeed. They possess an almost naive belief that nothing can stand in their way, they are mentally deaf to those who belittle their chances, they love to compete, and they have the skills of broken field runners who take the bumps and bruises along the way, change course when necessary, and stay focused on the goal.If this is not you, don't try to fool yourself. It's not worth it.Thinking you can start your own business or wanting to be your own boss, just because you hate your job, when you really have no desire or stamina to go it on your own, is courting disaster. Where there is no real will, there is no way.Some people are more  enamored by the concept than the reality. They would rather contemplate the beauty of the mountain from the base.The entrepreneur wants to climb the mountain first, briefly appreciate the gorgeous vistas from the summit, and then find the next mountain. If you possess this obsession of seeing your own creative notions succeed and are willing to pay the price, then you have no choice but to pursue the life of an entrepreneur.[29:00] He taught us to concern ourselves only with those things over which we have control.I thought he was unique in this until I realized this is one of the key common traits of highly successful people.Those folks are never victims; they take what comes and handle the situation. The rest is a waste of time.[30:00] Upgrade the herd annually: "You make more money closing bad stores than opening new ones.”His philosophy made sense. We decided we would rather spend time and effort on a $4.5 million store that could ultimately achieve annual sales of $6 million than on a lower-volume store with less potential.[32:00] Focus is your lever to success.Do not underestimate the incredible amount of mental discipline it takes to focus yourself and your teammates. Wonderful alternatives and seductive opportunities abound and temptations to go in multiple directions are unlimited.Commit yourself to be the best, define what that means, and focus on the head of that pin like no one in your industry.[32:00] Estee Lauder was a master at doing things don't scale. — Estée Lauder: A Success Storyby Estée Lauder. (Founders #217)[33:00] To be successful, have your heart in your business, and your business in your heart. —Thomas Watson The Maverick and His Machine: Thomas Watson Sr. and The Making of IBM by Kevin Maney (Founders #87)[38:00] Only a fool tests the depth of the water with both feet. —African Proverb[40:00] Some of our partners created an inhospitable climate for customers. Some posted negative signs.At one store a manager hung a sign in red warning customers that they would be charged a steep fee if they bounced a  check. It said, "The bank doesn't make copies and we don't cash checks." That really got me boiling.I jumped up on the counter and ripped it down as customers and coworkers looked on, amazed. That may sound extreme, but I needed to make the point in a memorable way. I didn't want signs like that staring our customers in the face.I told our coworkers that the occasional hit we took for a bounced check cost far less than what we lost-and couldn't quantify-by creating a subtly hostile atmosphere. —Copy This!: How I turned Dyslexia, ADHD, and 100 square feet into a company called Kinkos by Paul Orfalea.[42:00] Nearly any action or communication means far more when done urgently.Trust only movement.[42:00] One person with a belief is equal to a force of ninety-nine who have only interests. —John Stuart Mill[43:00] None of this works if you can't trust your own judgement.[46:00] This reservoir of knowledge and human experience creates tremendous opportunities and advantages for you as an entrepreneur. You are heir to the discoveries of many entrepreneurs who skinned their shins trying something new. It is likely other  entrepreneurs before you have experienced the same challenges and problems, and found ways to surmount them.[47:00] You have the experiences of thousands of experts and mentors at your fingertips.[47:00] The incredible, wonderful, and unavoidable truth is that seeking the help of others can put you light years ahead of other people who beat their heads against the wall trying to reinvent the wheel[48:00] I've never found anybody that didn't want to help me if I asked them for help. I called up Bill Hewlett when I was 12 years old. He answered the phone himself. I told him I wanted to build a frequency counter. I asked if he had any spare parts I could have. He laughed. He gave me the parts. And he gave me a summer job at HP working on the assembly line putting together frequency counters. I have never found anyone who said no, or hung up the phone. I just ask. Most people never pick up the phone and call. And that is what separates the people who do things, versus the people who just dream about them. You have to act. —Steve Jobs[53:00] "Max kept repeating, 'As hire As. Bs hire Cs. So the first B you hire takes the whole company down." — The Founders: The Story of Paypal and the Entrepreneurs Who Shaped Silicon Valley by Jimmy Soni.[54:00] “The greatest thing you can do for your competition—hiring poorly.” —Bill Gates[59:00] I wish that I had known sooner that if you miss a child's play or performance or sporting event, you will have forgotten a year later the work emergency that caused you to miss it. But the child won't have forgotten that you weren't there.—I use Readwise to organize and remember everything I read.

One of America's first tech companies, HP - Hewlett Packard Inc. (NYSE: HPQ) was started in a Palo Alto garage by Bill Hewlett and David Packard in 1939—kicking off the lab coat era of Silicon Valley. The company has been through many reboots, M&A events, and market headwinds filled with leadership challenges over the decades—and was even split into two companies in 2015. Today, fresh off its $3B+ acquisition of hybrid-work leader Poly, the company employs over fifty thousand people in 170 countries, who generated over $63B in revenue last year. With recent investments by Warren Buffett, the acquisition of Poly and other emerging brands like Z, Omen, Hyper and Arize, the tech giant continues its rebooting journey, stepping up in the market and doubling down on gaming and peripherals, hybrid work solutions and more. I invited Stephanie Dismore, HP's head of North America to join me for an episode of The Reboot Chronicles to unpack their latest go-to market strategies across a portfolio of expanding products and services in the commercial, consumer and public sectors. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/rebootchronicles/message

Si hay un lugar en el mundo que se pueda considerar como la ‘meca de la tecnología', este está en California y recibe el nombre de Silicon Valley. Su nombre significa Valle del Silicio y hace alusión a la rápida explosión de empresas dedicadas a la electrónica y a la computación que fueron creadas allí a lo largo de la década de los 80. Esta zona está situada en la Bahía de San Francisco, es la sede de las compañías más importantes del sector y funciona como un centro de innovación en el que todas las start-ups desean instalarse. Sin embargo, lo que muy pocos saben es cómo se creó este pequeño gran imperio y quién o quiénes fueron los precursores de una región que fue creada para revolucionar el mundo de la informática. Se lo contamos. Esta historia comienza en los años 30, cuando Disney comienza a trabajar en su tercera película, una cinta que acabaría convirtiéndose en otro gran clásico de la factoría. Se trata de ‘Fantasía', largometraje musical que llegó a la gran pantalla tras los exitosos lanzamientos de ‘Blancanieves y los 7 enanitos' y ‘Pinocho'. En ‘Fantasía', la reproducción del sonido en las salas era clave y, para ello, Disney decidió comprar ocho osciladores de baja frecuencia, una máquina electrónica que permitía sincronizar los efectos de sonido de la cinta y desarrollar el sistema Fantasound, considerado el antecesor del Dolby Surround. Este oscilador del que hablamos fue inventado por dos emblemáticos ingenieros. Hablamos de Hewlett y Packard, quienes poco después acabarían fundando su propia empresa, Hewlett Packard Company, popularmente conocida como HP. Estos dos jóvenes emprendedores tenían como profesor en la Universidad de Stanford a Frederick Terman, considerado por muchos como ‘el padre de Silicon Valley'. Este fue quien animó a sus pupilos a crear su propia compañía y ambos decidieron seguir su consejo: El 1 de enero de 1939 fundaron HP en un garaje ubicado en la ciudad de Palo Alto, dentro del condado californiano de Santa Clara. Se ponía así la primera piedra de aquel ‘valle del silicio'. En la década de los 50, se produce al fin el despegue de HP y, de la mano, del propio Palo Alto, donde la población se multiplicó exponencialmente y sus huertos fueron sustituidos por carreteras, negocios y escuelas. El parque tecnológico Stanford Industrial Park, promovido por el profesor Terman, se convirtió poco a poco en foco de atracción para otras empresas que hicieron de aquel lugar el corazón de Silicon Valley.En aquella zona ubicada al sur de la Bahía de San Francisco comenzó a hervir una cultura del emprendimiento y la creatividad que han logrado mantener hasta nuestros días. Todo ello, ha sido, en parte, gracias a la gran labor social que Hewlett y Packard desarrollaron años más tarde. Por ejemplo, el primero, a través de la fundación David y Lucile Packard (su esposa), se lanzó a la caza de talentos musicales para la Sinfónica de San Francisco o creó el mejor acuario del mundo en la ciudad de Monterrey. El segundo, también junto a su mujer, impulsó con donaciones, a través de la Fundación William y Flora Hewlett, al Instituto de Tecnología de California o la Universidad de Stanford, entre otros. Casi veinte años después de la venta de aquel oscilador a Disney, la compañía empezó a diversificar su negocio y se lanzó también a crear generadores de señales microondas, aparatos médicos y calculadoras de bolsillo. Enseguida, aquel garaje comenzó a quedarse pequeño y Hewlett y Packard decidieron mudarse y trasladar su empresa a otro edificio más grande, ubicado también en Palo Alto. En esa apuesta por la innovación, la pareja de ingenieros se lanzó a entrar en 1966 en el negocio de los ordenadores. Dos años más tarde, fabricarían también la primera calculadora científica de sobremesa y programable. En 1983, revolucionan también la tecnología con el primer ordenador de pantalla táctil y, un año después, la primera impresora de inyección de tinta. HP estaba empezando a cambiar el rumbo de la electrónica e informática a nivel mundial. Otro de los asuntos en los que Hewlett y Packard fueron pioneros fue en su modelo de trabajo. Cosas que hoy suenan modernas, como la flexibilidad laboral o la presencia de salas recreativas y de descanso dentro de marcas como Google o Amazon, tienen su origen en el intento de HP de reducir el estrés de sus empleados para motivarlos y fidelizarlos. Así, tuvieron bastantes detalles con la plantilla, dando regalos a sus familias o haciéndoles partícipes de los beneficios que paulatinamente iba consiguiendo la entidad. Tanto es así, que HP fue una de las primeras compañías de Estados Unidos que fijaron un horario flexible. Sucedió en 1973 y el objetivo era que los empleados tuvieran mucho más tiempo para estar con la familia, para disfrutar del ocio o de sus negocios personales. La cosa no quedó ahí y, dos décadas después, comenzaron a fomentar de forma pionera algo que hoy en día, tras la pandemia del coronavirus, se ha instalado con mayor o menor recelo en la mayoría de las empresas: el codiciado teletrabajo. Hace ya 30 años, Hewlett y Packard entendieron que una forma sencilla y efectiva de aumentar la satisfacción laboral era implementar el trabajo a distancia. Así lo reflejó Packard en su libro: El estilo HP: Cómo Bill Hewlett y yo construimos nuestra compañía. Esta publicación ha inspirado la cultura corporativa que hoy en día se está intentando imponer en muchas sociedades. Hewlett y Packard no le tenían miedo al cambio y no dudaron nunca en tomar decisiones drásticas, en función de los desafíos que se presentaban en el mercado y siempre que fuesen por el bien de la empresa. Tras la retirada de los fundadores, ese estilo permaneció en el tiempo. Un ejemplo de ello es la absorción, en 2011, de su gran rival: la tecnológica Compaq. Aquella fusión, a pesar de suponer muchos despidos, permitió a HP sobrepasar a IBM y consolidarse como líder mundial de fabricantes de ordenadores entre 2007 y 2013. Sin embargo, el auge de los dispositivos móviles generó una crisis en el sector que obligó a la entidad a anunciar en 2014 una separación de su negocio en dos. Desde el año siguiente, HP Inc controla los ordenadores personales e impresoras, mientras que Hewlett Packard Enterprise se encarga de servicios y equipos para las empresas. Ambas tratan de competir de tú a tú con nuevos gigantes que ahora dominan el sector. Y es que HP formó e inspiró a muchos ingenieros y emprendedores que más tarde acabaron triunfando en otras compañías, como Microsoft, Amazon o Apple. El caso más evidente es el de Steve Wozniak, cofundador junto a Steve Jobs del gigante de la manzana. Wozniak diseñó el primer ordenador personal (llamado Apple I) mientras trabajaba para HP pero Hewlett Packard rechazó su idea hasta en cinco ocasiones, ya que no le interesaba el mercado doméstico. Finalmente, a pesar de su fidelidad hacia sus jefes, Wozniak dejó su trabajo y creó Apple junto a Jobs. En definitiva, un ejemplo más de que HP cambió el curso de la tecnología y fue el verdadero ‘big bang' de aquel universo informático en el que se acabaría convirtiendo Silicon Valley.

When Nitesh Sharan exited Hewlett-Packard after 15 years of diligent career-building, he assumed—like many seasoned finance executives have done—that his finance skill set would be applicable to just about any industry or company. However, Sharan recalls that when he stepped into a senior IR and treasury role at athletic footwear titan Nike, Inc., this assumption was sorely tested. “I had to relearn finance in a way because it was not just about the science or about your gross margins, profits, and cash—it was about the art and the science together,” observes Sharan. “At Nike, the IR function was a very strong partner with communications and the brand, which was a wholly different element of IR that I came to appreciate,” comments Sharan, who back in 2016 executed the intrepid career segue from HP, a company known for its engineering and maniacal focus on product, to Nike, a company known for its marketing and maniacal focus on brand. Still, Sharan says, the two companies shared something very much in common: iconic founders and the cultures that they had built. “At HP, we had a founder's culture in which Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard were embedded in everything. Even with the mergers and divestitures that the company has seen, HP is still the iconic founders' company of the Valley,” remarks Sharan, who adds that Nike founder Phil Knight's imprint is similarly part of the company's culture today. “When I went to Nike, I felt one step closer because Phil Knight's footprint is still so deep there—so much of the founder's culture has been embedded,” notes Sharon, who reports that his experience in working at the two founder-led companies has influenced his thinking when it comes to businesses at large. “I really believe that the most dominant companies are founder-led—you can see it in the markets,” explains Sharan, who last year opened his latest career chapter by stepping into the CFO role at founder-led SoundHound, Inc. Concludes Sharan: “I just became attracted to the founder's culture, and, in a way, this is what catalyzed my transition to SoundHound.” –Jack Sweeney

Informe-se rapidamente sobre o que está acontecendo AGORA na região mais inovadora do mundo. A garagem da HP se tornou um ponto turístico no Vale do Silício. Isso porque a empresa – que realmente nasceu dentro daquele espaço – é considerada uma das primeiras startups da região. Seus fundadores, Bill Hewlett e David Packard, são grandes responsáveis pela formação do ecossistema que conhecemos hoje. Os valores e a cultura da HP impulsionaram que outras empresas fossem criadas – e o resultado você já conhece… Neste episódio do podcast Bom Dia Califórnia, nós contamos como foi o início da HP. Aperte o play para conferir! Diariamente, às 7h, Felipe Giannetti, sócio da StartSe, traz as principais novidades diretamente do Vale do Silício e reflete sobre o ecossistema de inovação e startups.

Ten years ago today, on 5th October 2011, we lost one of the greatest tech innovators of our time – Steve Jobs. It's almost unfathomable how much impact Steve had on the world and how much his work will empower future generations but as he wished, he most definitely put a ding in the universe and left a wide, gaping hole when he passed.To mark Steve's life, it seemed fitting to talk to someone who knew him well – so today's guest is John Couch, who was both Steve's colleague and friend for many decades.Steve personally recruited John to help him build a “revolutionary computer.” It was 1978, just two years after Apple had started, and thus making John Apple's 54th employee. Soon after, John became Apple's first Vice President of Software and then became General Manager, overseeing the Apple Lisa computer division.Prior to joining this new startup called Apple, John was one of UC Berkeley's first fifty computer science graduates and had a well-paying, secure job working at HP, under the tutelage of its iconic founder, and a hero of Steve Jobs, Bill Hewlett. But as he tells me, there was something about Steve's vision that drew him in and made him leave his job at HP for the exciting yet vastly unknown.Six years later, John left Apple to work in education before becoming the CEO of a biotech company called DoubleTwist. He was then recruited again by Steve Jobs again in 2002 and returned to Apple to take on the newly created role of Vice President of Education – a position he remained in until his recent retirement.In 2018, John co-wrote "Rewiring Education and this year, he published his latest book - “My Life at Apple and The Steve I Knew" which is a book we dig deeper into in this episode. As Steve Wozniak says, “John is one of the most interesting, intelligent, and passionate people I've ever met. Both Steve and I viewed him as an essential part of what made Apple the most innovative company in the world, even as he remained one of our best-kept secrets.” You're listening to the Danielle Newnham podcast where I interview tech founders and innovators to learn the inspiring, human, stories behind the game-changing tech we use every day.And this is my interview with John Couch.

"Cześć, nazywam się Steve Jobs. Mam trzynaście lat i jestem uczniem. Chcę zbudować miernik częstotliwości i zastanawiam się, czy masz może do niego jakieś części?". Przyszły założyciel firny Apple właśnie znalazł w książce telefonicznej numer do Billa Hewletta, współzałożyciela Hewlett Packard. I był podekscytowany. Jako członek Klubu Odkrywcy Homestead High chciał stworzyć swoją pierwszą autorską konstrukcję. Wpadł na pomysł budowy miernika częstotliwości do pomiaru liczby impulsów przesyłanych w sygnale elektrycznym. Jednak do jego skonstruowania potrzebował trochę części. W latach 60-tych ludzie nie miewali zastrzeżonych numerów. Steve otworzył więc książkę telefoniczną i znalazł w niej numer do firmy Hewlett Packard. Przedsiębiorstwo założone w 1939 roku przez dwóch wizjonerów w garażu w kalifornijskim Palo Alto początkowo było producentem przyrządów elektronicznych i sprzętu pomiarowego najwyższej klasy: oscyloskopów czy woltomierzy. Dopiero później miało być nie tylko pionierską firmą tzw. doliny krzemowej ale także najpotężniejszym przedsiębiorstwem informatycznym. Był rok 1968 i Bill Hewlett nie mógł wiedzieć, że dzwoni do niego dziecko, które założy firmę będące w przyszłości największym konkurentem HP. Zaśmiał się, ale nie odłożył słuchawki telefonu. Gawędził z nastolatkiem przez kolejne dwadzieścia minut. Nie dość, że obiecał mu brakujące elementy, to jeszcze załatwił staż na linii montażowej przy produkcji mierników częstotliwości. Steve Jobs trafił tam latem, zaraz po ukończeniu pierwszej klasy w Homestead High. *** Pamiętaj o subskrypcji naszego podcastu, a jeżeli chcesz nas wesprzeć zostaw recenzję.

Valley Boy And The Maltese Falcon

This is The Founders’ List – audio versions of essays from technology’s most important leaders, selected by the founder community. In 1960, David Packard gave an informal speech to the managers at HP that wasn’t intended for the public to hear. The speech resurfaced during the merger talks between Hewlett-Packard and Compaq. Packard addressed the overarching question of 'why HP exists' and shares insights on how to manage effectively, financial responsibility, and much more for someone to absorb and have a successful career. You can find his speech in the book, 'The HP Way: How Bill Hewlett and I Built Our Company'.

Many years ago, when Jobs was a young boy, he wanted to build a frequency counter but at that time, he was only 12 and he did not have any electronic parts build it. In order to build his frequency counter, he knew he had to ask someone for leftover electronic parts.  So he went to the phone book to look for someone to call and sure enough, he found Bill Hewlett's phone number. Who is Bill Hewlett? He is the co-founder of Hewlett-Packard. And the rest was history. Check out this episode to find out what happened!

David Packard had an interest in electronics from a young age. He met Bill Hewlett in college and the rest is history. Hear from David himself on how HP was started.

A recent not-so-nice review on iTunes combined with some of my own mutterings, plus a listener question combined to produce some thoughts on how we can set our outlook for the long haul, as the Covid reality is extending beyond weeks and months. Here is the brief article I mentioned at the end: Not everyone suffered during the Great Depression. More people became millionaires during this time than in any other time in American history. Opportunities, that were not present during the 1920s economic boom times, suddenly became available. An economic downturn is a good time to start a business. Start-up costs are much lower in a recession than in boom periods. Savvy entrepreneurs edged in and positioned themselves for when the economic climate improved. Many poorly run businesses closed during the Depression years and their equipment and assets could be bought at fireside sales for next to nothing. Commercial rents were cheap and wages were low. There was also time to get the business fundamentals right before increased orders made it too hectic for the entrepreneur to build and test his business model. It was these ‘if you can dream it, you can do it’ Great Depression entrepreneurs that made the best of the crisis to provide a service, or product, for new markets.Who were some of these maverick entrepreneurs? Some very famous names made their money during the Depression era. In Kentucky, a grandfather, called Colonel Sanders, started serving fried chicken at his gas station. By 1937 he had expended to a 142 seat restaurant due to popular demand. Two young electrical engineering graduates stared a electrical machine business in a rented garage during the 1930s. Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard officially became business partners in 1939 with only $538 in investment money.Many people with small amounts of liquid cash were able to buy bankrupt businesses at bargain prices. Towards the end of the 1930s some business people watched the upsurge in military spending by some countries. The world was preparing for war and those that invested in companies that made in-demand products for the government stood to make lots of money. Companies dealing with shipping, military vehicles, textiles (for uniforms, tents, etc.), metals (copper, steel, aluminum and iron), shipping and petroleum products made a fortune. Well known companies that were bought at this time were John Deere, Reynolds Metals and Douglas Aircraft.Another huge opportunity was real estate. During the Depression years, demand was low and thus prices were low as well. Visionary business people knew that real estate values would go up in the future and when they did they used the equity to leverage their business growth and expansions. Those wise folk that were not caught up in the stock market frenzy in the 1920s, and saved their cash, were well positioned to snap up bargain businesses and became millionaires as a result.Enjoy the Journey!Thomas See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

What I learned from reading The Difference Between God and Larry Ellison: God Doesn't Think He's Larry Ellison by Mike Wilson[1:06]  You want to know what I think about Larry Ellison? Well, I suppose he had some private sort of greatness but he kept it to himself. He never gave himself away. He never gave anything away. He just left you a tip. He had a generous mind. I don't suppose anybody ever had so many opinions, but he never believed in anything except Larry Ellison. [1:45] That was the way Ellison's mind worked. He was like a search engine gone haywire. [3:01] I asked Ellison how he had seen his adult life when he was a kid. What he thought was going to happen to him. “You mean did I anticipate becoming the fifth wealthiest person in the United States? No. This is all kind of surreal. I don't even believe it. When I look around I say this must be something out of a dream.” [3:57] Ellison is the Charles Foster Kane of the technological age. He is bright, brash, optimistic, and immensely appealing, yet somehow incomplete. [4:31] He worked in the computer industry for several years but never had a job that suited what he saw as his superior intellectual gifts. [6:08] The stockholder who benefited the most from Oracle's performance was Larry Ellison, exactly what he intended. Ellison started the company because he wanted to be his own boss. And he stayed in control throughout his tenure at Oracle always holding onto enough stock that his power and authority could never be seriously challenged. [7:57] To him there was now power greater than the human mind. [8:23] What Larry reminds me of is a truth that Benjamin Franklin hit on 250 years ago. He says his mind was much improved by all the reading he did. There were very tangible results in Benjamin Franklin's life when people found his conversations more enjoyable because he was a more interesting person to talk to—that led him being able to raise money for his business. It helped him close sales. Larry Ellison is very much the same way. [8:53] When hiring, Ellison valued intelligence more than experience. He often looked for unruly geniuses instead of solid, steady workers. [10:52] If he hadn't made me rich, I'd probably hate him because he is obnoxious. He is not nice to people. [12:39] He was capable of chilling selfishness and inspiring generosity. He could dazzle people with his insights and madden them with his lies. He was a fundamentally shy man who could delight audiences with his colorful speeches. He was known for his healthy ego and often seemed deeply insecure. Many people learned to accept Ellison's contradictory nature. [14:01] In 1970 sales of packaged computer programs amounted to only $70 million for the entire year. [15:55] There is a book called The HP Way. I did a podcast on it (Founders #29) [16:20] The Oracle Way was simply to win. How that goal was achieved was secondary. [17:18] Ellison's early life left a lot to be desired. He was never very happy with the humdrum facts of his life so he changed them. Beginning when he was a child, and continuing into his days in the Forbes 400, Ellison lived partly in a world of his own invention. [18:15] He wasn't going to be smothered by the dreary circumstances of his life. He was going to leap over them. [20:13] Larry reads a lot of biographies. One person he admired the most was Winston Churchill. He had a lot in common with Churchill. Both were mediocre students. Both desperately sought the approval of their fathers to no avail. And both were witty, insatiably curious, and charming when it suited them. Reading about Churchill reassured him that even ‘gods have moments of insecurity.' [22:30] A description of Larry in his mid twenties: Ellison was extremely hard on himself. He had a mental image of where he should be and what he should be and he was not able to attain it. [25:19] He has incredible intelligence and he applies it with incredible intensity. [26:44] The subject he liked best was himself. He was forever telling people how wonderful he was, how smart he was, and how rich he was going to be. [29:50] For Ellison Oracle was a holy mission. [30:33] There was a problem. A sheet rock wall stood between the offices and the computer room. Scott said, “Larry, we need to hook up these terminals. How are we going to hook them up?” “I'll show you how.” Ellison replied. He grabbed a hammer and smashed a hole through the wall. Bruce Scott came to believe that Ellison's entire business philosophy could be summed up in that single act. Find a way or make one. Just do it. [32:41] Ellison could not have dreamed up a more amiable and helpful competitor than IBM. Think of the marketing of relational technology as a race, with Ellison and IBM as two of the main entrants. IBM taught Ellison to walk, bought him a pair of track shoes, trained him as a sprinter, and then gave him a big head start. How could he lose? [35:14] He was practicing. He was working. He knew there was a problem and he fixed it. [35:47] The idea that somebody else might take away Oracle's business was poison to Ellison. He understood the importance of locking up a large share of the market early. “How much does it cost Pepsi to get one half of a percent of the market from Coke once the market has been established?” he once asked rhetorically. “It's very expensive. This market is being established. If we don't run as hard as we can, as fast as we can, and then do it again twice as fast, it'll be cost prohibitive for us to increase market share.” [36:14] Larry put marketing first and everything else second. Average technology and good marketing beat good technology and average marketing every day. [39:17] My view is that there are only a handful of things that are really important and you should devote all of your time to those things and forget everything else. [40:46] I was not terribly forgiving of mediocrity. I was completely intolerant of a lack of effort. And I was fairly brutal in the way I expressed myself. [41:16] Kobe Bryant: I had issues or problems with the people who don't demand excellence from themselves. I won't tolerate that. [42:30] The guy that was in charge of Oracle's advertising in the early days of the company: My ads attack like a pack of speed crazed wolverines and have the same general effect on your competition that a full moon does on a werewolf. [44:00] Larry fundamentally believed that his company was going to be more important than IBM. You can't imagine how far fetched those ideas sounded. He would say he was here to become the largest software company in the world. People were taken aback. [45:32] Larry goes against consensus. Every single on of his advisors told him sell equity, sell equity, sell equity. And Larry just had a fundamental belief that that would be a mistake because the equity is going to be worth a lot more in the future. [46:21] There are only two kinds of people in the world to Larry. Those who are on his team and those who are his enemies. There is no middle ground. [48:03] Even when he was feeling his worst Ellison remained an optimist. A man who couldn't help looking forward. He lived in the future. [49:34] He was terrified he would fail, confirming his father's dark predictions about him. There was a note in his voice that you didn't usually hear with him—just scared, worried. [56:30] I am very competitive, and sometimes, when somebody does something really great, I get upset because I just feel like that isn't me. And my reaction to Steve [Jobs] wasn't competitive at all. I felt what he had done was so wonderful, and I was so proud of him, and I love him so much, it was almost as if I had done it. I didn't feel the least bit competitive. The wonderful thing about loving somebody else is that it can expand your ego in the best sense. If they do something great, you feel terrific about it. [57:38] The only things that are important in our lives are love and work. Not necessarily in that order. We work because work is an act of creation. We identify with it. Both love and work conspire to deliver some kind of happiness. If we can get reasonably good at both of them, we are in really great shape. [58:21] He's got the same problem the rest of us have. He has to engage in an enlightened pursuit of happiness. To figure out what makes him happy. Human beings are builders. He is going to have to find something he really wants to build. He is going to have to have some idea and create something out of that idea. —“I have listened to every episode released and look forward to every episode that comes out.

What do leaders need to be doing and thinking about in times of uncertainty and complexity? Pete DeLisle, PhD, chats with me on this subject in Episode 32 of Agile Digital Business. In a time when areas around our world have gone from simple to complex, almost simultaneously, Pete's reflections and insights are thought-provoking. Below are the show notes and time codes to help you navigate quickly back to a section you would like to listen to for a second or third time. 0:00 A preview of one of the many insights from Pete. :37 Introducing Pete DeLisle 1:17 Welcome to Episode 32 of Agile Digital Business; reflection on my pivot in Season 3 to bring you topics and interviews that will help you as you make adjustments to the changing needs of your customers, clients and students. 3:32 Sponsorship note - Teach. Inspire. Connect. - Online group coaching in uses of Facebook Lives and other forms of social media marketing and engagement. Current groups are running for church pastors of small to medium-size congregations and for small business owners, multi-level marketers and entrepreneurs. 6:23 Conversation begins with Pete DeLisle 8:40 "What we're encountering is massive, unpredicted or unrecognized change. Sadly, the old solutions don't work." - Pete DeLisle  10:37 Reference to vu ja de and George Carlin, "We've never been here before and it doesn't look at all familiar." 11:09 George Carlin was also informed by Yogi Berra, "We're lost but making good time." 11:27 "The old models don't work." Pete DeLisle 11:42 "The human factors are just as important as what we're trying to accomplish in our business." Pete DeLisle 13:10 More background about Yogi Berra and the New York Yankees 15:29 Intellectual honesty - you're honest about being honest. An effective leader is willing to be vulnerable. Example: "I don't have a clue what's going on here, but we'll figure it out." 16:16 On the idea of resiliency: "The underlying value is human compassion ... thinking what's going on with human beings and the full complexity of it." - Pete DeLisle 17:20 Pete discusses the task vs relationship diagram. "When you're working on one, you're not working on the other." Example: If the task is under control, you got to worry about relationship-related issues; and taking care of your folks. 20:30 We talk about a personal example of how elder care or concern for our families can cause distractions in the work day during a world crisis. 23:29 Story from the 1960s about Dave Packard and Bill Hewlett. 26:43 He mentions that the touch screen display was invented at a division at HP during the downtime. 29:40 "There are only experts on what has been. There are no experts on what will be." - a quote shared by Pete DeLisle 34:07 Concept of absorptive capacity - the ability of an organization to see or predict emerging trends in advance of others. 36:50 Pete gives an example about BASF and the strategic plan that is one sentence long: "We want to be in business 100 years from now." 38:34 Mid-conversation break where I announce the Part 2 interview with Pete DeLisle on the topic of foresight. I also mention my interview with John Lee Dumas. His episode is coming up here in Season 3. 39:34 "Agility is the ability to be responsive in expert fashion to rapidly-changing situations."  44:20 Invitation to continue the conversation in another episode of the show. 45:44 If you would like to send a suggestion for a topic for Pete to cover, please send an email to agiledigitalbusiness @ gmail dot com.

PR veteran Rick Miller joins Tim to talk about helping Dockers change the way people dress in the office. He and his team played a part in the launch of the now ubiquitous “business casual” dress code. In this episode he talks about some of the keys to getting society to change its mindset about fashion and other things. https://traffic.libsyn.com/shapingopinion/Business_Casual_auphonic.mp3 Depending on your age, you may not remember a time when wearing a suit to work was a requirement for most men. And for women, it was almost mandatory that they wear a skirt and heels to the office. That all started to change in a big way in California in the early 1990s, but the birth of “business casual” can be traced further back – to the 1960s and Hawaii. In the 1960s, Bill Foster was the president of the Hawaiian Fashion Guild. The Guild was trying to figure out a way to sell more of those iconic and colorful Aloha shirts to Hawaiian residents, not just tourists. So, they launched a campaign called Operation Liberation. The project provided two Aloha shirts to every member of the Hawaii House of Representatives and the Hawaii Senate. The goal of the campaign was to get politicians to allow government workers to wear the seasonal shirts to beat the summer heat and to support the state's garment industry, while making a fashion statement for the state's tourism industry. By 1966, the custom was dubbed Aloha Friday, because Fridays became the day when it was socially acceptable to wear your Aloha shirt to work if you lived in Hawaii. Meanwhile, around the same time on the Mainland in California, one of the anchor companies in Silicon Valley had its own fashion ideas. Hewlett-Packard says it was the first to introduce casual attire in the workplace. The company called Fridays its “Blue Sky Days,” and it didn't stop just with shirts. Bill Hewlett and David Packard were the founders of Hewlett Packard, and they wanted people in their company to start to think out of the box and be more creative. So, they got behind the idea of letting employees dress more casually on Fridays, and encouraged them to think more differently about their approach to business solutions. Before long, the idea spread throughout Silicon Valley. Fast forward to 1992, and an idea that was hatched at a brand Levi's had recently acquired. That brand was Dockers. Rick Miller was on the PR team that worked for Dockers at the time, and he remembers how “business casual” became a real thing in America, and not just for Fridays. In this episode, Rick talks about how a Dockers marketing campaign led to a transformation in the way we dress for business. Dockers had been considered weekend wear. Golf course, barbecues and parties. But in 1992, the company sent an eight-page Guide to Casual Business Wear to 25,000 human resource managers to distribute to employees That was a game-changer, but it was just the beginning of both the campaign and the fashion transformation.

Today we explore the history of the Product Manager from it's early ideation by Neil McElroy to it's growth at Hewlett-Packard thru it's maturation at Microsoft and into today. We talk with former Microsoft Project Manager, Ellen Chisa, Former Microsoft Engineer (and 55th hire), Mark Zbikowski and Matt LeMay, the Author of Product Management in Practice, about this evolution over the past 80 years.  For Neil McElroy the Brand Men were essentially his manifesto on what would become a product manager today. Their responsibilities ranged from tracking sales to managing the product, advertising and promotions. They were to “take full responsibility” for the brands implementation of advertising and sales and take a ‘huge weight’ off of the sales managers who were both ideating and implementing growth strategies. Bill Hewlett and David Packard interpreted the Brand Man ethos as putting decision making as close as possible to the customer, and making the product manager the voice of the customer internally. In the book The Hewlett-Packard Way this is credited with sustaining Hewlett-Packard’s 50 year record of unbroken 20% year-on-year growth between 1943 and 1993.

Happy Holden, known as the father of High-Density Interconnect and the author of The HDI Handbook, is this episode’s fascinating guest. We’ll discuss how Happy went from a small-town boy to a first-name basis with legends Bill Hewlett and David Packard, the founders of HP. Happy will be a keynote speaker at our AltiumLive Annual PCB Design Summit in Frankfurt, where he’ll discuss smart factories and how we’re going to get to the point of having digitized data. He’ll also talk about AI and his full-day talk will include HDI and the considerations you need to keep in mind.  Trade In Your Outdated PCB Design Tool & Unlock 45% OFF Altium Designer today! Watch the video, click here. Show Highlights: Happy feels lucky to have been at the right place at the right time throughout his career. He grew up in the mountains of Oregon in a small, highly-involved logging community. His math and science teacher in high school had a physics Ph.D.—not a traditional education curriculum. At university, they also had professors who were Nobel prize winners, such as Linus Pauling. After graduation, he was invited to interview with the integrated circuit department at Hewlett-Packard, on the recommendation of one of his professors. HP was more advanced than IBM when it came to integrated circuits. At the time, HP was making high-frequency and RF integrated circuits out of germanium and silicon placed on sapphire wafers, called “Silicon on Sapphire” or SOS. Intel was still a start-up at this time. As the first chemical engineer at HP in integrated circuit (IC) production; he was on a frontier at HP, the only chemical engineer at a company of fewer than 2,000 people—it was exciting for 21-year-old Happy Holden. During his 28 years there, HP climbed to 167,000 employees and from 200 million in sales per year to 54 billion! HP’s first 64-bit desktop machine was called a “Desktop Calculator”, because at the time a 64-bit computer was the size of a room. By 1972, Happy assisted Bill Hewlett in making an HP35 ‘calculator’ which was battery-powered and fit in his pocket. During his keynote, Happy will show pictures of the unique solution they used for the keyboard. At the time, they had no idea how to make a reliable gold-plated rigid-flex printed circuit board and the result was an eight-layer logic board, double-sided keyboard, and displays soldered in at an angle. Apart from the keynote, Happy will present a full-day class on October 21, which he calls ‘Product realization using HDI technology”; a course on the electrical performance and the advantages and drivers of using High-Density Interconnect and blowing up the myth that you have to pay more for it. He will be giving some insights into unlearning several aspects of multi-layers and how miniaturization should indeed save you money by demonstrating four different case studies where complex 18- and 24-layer boards were made into an 8- or 10-layers with High-Density Interconnect and less expensive. An interesting aspect of this full-day course is where do we go from here, what’s the next step after HDI? Also, don’t miss the keynote on October 23, titled “PCB Trends That Will Impact YOUR Future” and how he started working with AI 25 years ago!

Hoy en Escuchandoando.Los ríos profundos fluyen lentamente, Jobs marcaba largas pausas al hablar mientras en su mente se tejían cientos de ideas, que hoy traemos en esta pieza sonora de colección respetando tales pausas en la locución.Jerson Ramirez,nos presenta a Steve Jobs 25 años después una entrevista que realizó Robert Cringely a Steve Jobs, cofundador de Apple, para una miniserie de PBS llamada "Triumph of the Nerds".una entrevista televisiva inédita realizada en 1995 por el periodista Robert Cringely, donde el cofundador de Apple habla, sin tapujos, de su desarrollo profesional y personal. 70 minutos de genialidad al más puro estilo Steve Jobs.En el momento en que se realiza la entrevista, en 1995, Jobs dirigía NeXT un proyecto que comenzó tras la marcha de Apple y que, según explica el propio Jobs en la entrevista, "fue muy dolorosa". Justo dos años antes de su regreso a Apple para reflotar una empresa que en sus mismas palabras, estaba "agonizando", sufría "la agonía de una muerte dolorosa" e iba "camino de su extinción". Sin embargo, pocos meses después volvería a la empresa de la manzana para convertirla en algo más que una marca, prácticamente en un icono de nuestro tiempo.Durante más de una hora un Jobs sincero, calculador y tranquilo le cuenta a Robert Cringely, quien estaba realizando un documental para la PBS titulado "el triunfo de los frikis", su carrera profesional. Desde el momento crucial en el que llama a Bill Hewlett para pedirle unos componentes con 12 años y este termina dándole un empleo en Hewlett Packard hasta el futuro de la tecnología y de la empresa que fundó con Wozniak. Desde el primer pedido de ordenadores ensamblados hasta los 100 millones de dólares que pagaban por él cuando tenía 25 años. Desde la primera vez que tocó un ordenador hasta que se iluminó su camino al ver por primera vez la interfaz gráfica de usuario en el centro Xerox PARC del que comenta el propio Steve, "era lo mejor que había visto en mi vida". Desde que vendió su furgoneta para poder disponer de algo de capital para llevar a cabo sus proyectos hasta que vaticina el futuro de Internet, una red todavía en pañales: "Bienes y servicios por valor de decenas de miles de millones pronto se venderán a través de la red. Internet puede entenderse como el canal de distribución directo por excelencia. La empresa más pequeña del mundo podrá proyectarse en Internet como la más grande". Y ahora sabemos a ciencia cierta que estaba en lo cierto.En definitiva una entrevista sin tapujos recuperada 25 años después que ofrece una visión del genio desconocida para el público en general y que no deja indiferente ni a seguidores ni a detractores.

When we talk about the broad swath of technology and its progenitors in Silicon Valley rarely are we talking about great breakthroughs. A new app for dating or dog walking, the one-hundredth messaging app or new forms of enterprise collaboration are hardly the stuff of Steve Jobs, or Bill Gates or Mitch Kapor or Robert Noyce or Bill Hewlett. But every once in a while there is a new new thing that really matters. Like the PC or the smartphone or Microsoft Word and Excell. For years, many thought something called Virtual Reality might be that thing. What was not know is that it would take a 19-year-old dreamer, one of odder character in a world that celebrates oddness, to make it a reality. The fact that Mark Zuckerberg the man that the European Union just called a “technology gangster,” would co-opt it and screw it up, only adds to an important chapter of legends of Silicon Valley. Like other legends, this one is told by Blake Harris in The History of the Future: Oculus, Facebook, and the Revolution That Swept Virtual Reality My conversation with Blake Harris

Today on the show, it is a great privilege to chat with Paul Dunn. Paul is the man behind B1G1, a global business initiative on a mission to create a world full of giving. He is a 4-time TEDx Speaker, entrepreneur, and master presenter. Paul spearheaded the Business for Good Movement, which has inspired businesses across the world to give back to those in need. I asked Paul to share his very first memory of wanting to do good for somebody else. Paul talks about how from the start of his life, giving back was always his passion. At a young age, he was able to share a table with people like David Packard and Bill Hewlett, Founders of The Hewlett -Packard Company. In their presence, he learned the two driving forces that pushed him to do what he does now; giving abundantly. In the middle part of our conversation, Paul tells us that 84 businesses are being founded every hour. Why is this number so high? Why are so many people choosing to build a business? Is it for themselves or the greater good? He recalls a quote from a Richard Branson speech, where he said, “Businesses who do good, do better.” We discuss why developing and discovering a business’s purpose, passion, and values are so important. When you listen to Paul talk about his purpose and passion in this episode, you’ll find yourself reflecting on your business and your life, asking the question: “Why do I do what I do?” What You Will Discover in This Episode: The story behind Paul’s decision to create a movement that encouraged charitable giving. The two driving forces that lead Paul to create B1G1. The 3 L’s that determine your Legacy. How business owners can leverage their legacy. Paul sharing his passion for giving abundantly and why all entrepreneurs should follow suit. Paul’s tipping point: How the 2006 tsunami made him realise that he has a bigger obligation to the world. The mindset shift that business owners need to make to embrace the idea of doing business while giving back. Paul explaining why business owners are in the best position to make the world a happier place.

Iconic tech-company founders often come in pairs: Bill Hewlett and David Packard. Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak. Sergey Brin and Larry Page. The world lost half of one such duo Monday when Paul Allen, who cofounded Microsoft with his childhood friend Bill Gates, died from non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. He was 65. For the last three decades of his life, Allen was best known as a philanthropist and prolific entrepreneur.

What are your criteria for deciding that an idea is worth pursuing? We all have our own set of selection criteria, the first of which is usually looking for profits. However, selecting a course of action based solely on ROI can be limiting. If you are doing something really innovative, how on earth can you determine what the margins will be at an early stage of the product? The problem is, if you filter out new ideas based solely on whether they meet your financial projections, then you’re going to miss some great—perhaps groundbreaking—concepts. As mentioned in chapter 5, when you get to the ranking phase of FIRE, ROI shouldn’t be your first filter in deciding whether an idea is worth pursuing. When HP first got into printers it seemed like a tiny and not particularly interesting category. Now it’s one of our highest profit-producing businesses at HP. If we’d said, Nah, not doing it; it’s too small to be worth it, we would have made a catastrophic mistake. The printer division isn’t the first example of where HP has made a tough call. Back in 1968, Bill Hewlett wanted to get HP into calculators. I know from personal experience that projected ROI can be misleading. Be aware of your bias toward flashy and exciting numbers, and remember that figures on a page are easily malleable. Don’t turn down an opportunity because you think the market is too small. When a someone comes in with a $200 million idea, and it piques my interest, ask him, How do you make this idea big enough to make me care? What do you need—more money, more resources? Are you being conservative in your estimates? How do you take this smaller idea, and make it ten times better and ten times bigger? So -- think long and hard on how you would answer the question: What are the criteria to select research and development projects? To dig deeper -- ask yourself ..  What is the one key criterion that you must meet for a project to get approved? What would happen if you ignored this criterion in the evaluation process? What are the criteria used by others either inside your industry or outside of your industry? Based on this, what would you change in your criteria? Don’t get caught in the trap of thinking that your criteria protects your from risks. Risk is still there. You criteria may cause you to miss that next great opportunity.

Dagens podcast er spilt inn på nærmest hellig grunn. Vi sitter i Palo Alto på kontoret til Dave Packard, like ved siden av kontoret til Bill Hewlett. Kontoret er slik det var da de to flyttet inn i 1960, mange år etter at de to la grunnstenen til det vi kjenner som Silicon Valley - da de begynte å produsere elektronikk i en garasje noen kvartaler unna i 1938. Vi sitter i tretunge omgivelser sammen med adm. dir. for HP Norge, Verner Hølleland, og snakker om den neste store revolusjonen: 3D-printing.

Today we explore the history of the Product Manager from it's early ideation by Neil McElroy to it's growth at Hewlett-Packard thru it's maturation at Microsoft and into today. We talk with former Microsoft Project Manager, Ellen Chisa, Former Microsoft Engineer (and 55th hire), Mark Zbikowski and Matt LeMay, the Author of Product Management in Practice, about this evolution over the past 80 years.  For Neil McElroy the Brand Men were essentially his manifesto on what would become a product manager today.  Their responsibilities ranged from tracking sales to managing the product, advertising and promotions. They were to “take full responsibility” for the brands implementation of advertising and sales and take a ‘huge weight’ off of the sales managers who were both ideating and implementing growth strategies. Bill Hewlett and David Packard interpreted the Brand Man ethos as putting decision making as close as possible to the customer, and making the product manager the voice of the customer internally. In the book The Hewlett-Packard Way this is credited with sustaining Hewlett-Packard’s 50 year record of unbroken 20% year-on-year growth between 1943 and 1993. Learn more about your ad choices.

One of the unexpected delights in the HP Labs event in Palo Alto today was the opportunity to meet many of the retired employees who were invited to attend. It was a great honor to talk with Art Fong. He was recruited to the company back in 1946 by Bill Hewlett over a home-cooked spaghetti dinner. He was one of the first 100 employees at what is now a 172,000 person company. He shared some stories of his years at HP and how inventions he created helped change history. His opinion of the research being done today? "Real cool!" To hear Art discuss unique moments in HP history, click on the podcast icon below.

Just after I finished talking with Art Fong, my colleague Barbara Waugh introduced me to another distinguished HP retiree - Zvonko Fazarinc. Dr. Fazarinc emigrated from Yugoslavia and started working at HP Labs in 1965. He remembers clearly the impact that Dave Packard and Bill Hewlett's management style had on Labs - which they used to visit every morning when arriving at work. Listen to the podcast to hear some amazing stories - such as the time he tried to convince Dave Packard that he found more socialism in action with the HP Way than back home in Yugoslavia!
