Send us a textForget everything you thought you knew about marketing in the home services industry. In this eye-opening conversation, Ryan Chute, partner at Wizard of Ads, shatters conventional wisdom about lead generation and reveals the three essential components of effective marketing strategy that most businesses entirely miss.Ryan breaks down why your marketing efforts must go beyond simple lead generation tactics to create meaningful customer relationships. Through vivid analogies and practical insights, he explains how brand activation, sales activation, and prospect portals work together to make your business the obvious choice when customers need your services. It's not about being the cheapest or having the most reviews – it's about creating emotional connections that position your business as the trustworthy solution.The psychology behind customer decision-making takes center stage as Ryan reveals why empathy must precede competence in every customer interaction. He introduces the concept of "tantric selling" – a patient approach to sales that meets customers where they are financially and emotionally in today's uncertain economic climate. This strategy recognizes that breaking the first seal of trust is more important than immediately pushing for maximum ticket size.Perhaps most valuable is Ryan's breakdown of how to structure pricing presentations that tell a compelling story, positioning financing prominently rather than as an afterthought. He explains why your operations must support your marketing promises, why tension can be beneficial while friction destroys momentum, and how to build what he calls a "marketing mansion" in customers' minds instead of just dumping a pile of undifferentiated bricks like your competitors.Ready to transform your approach to marketing and sales? Listen now and discover why, as David Packard said, "Marketing is far too important to be left to the marketing department."https://coreyberrier.gumroad.com/ Support the show https://www.audible.com/pd/9-Simple-Steps-to-Sell-More-ht-Audiobook/B0D4SJYD4Q?source_code=ASSORAP0511160006&share_location=library_overflowhttps://www.amazon.com/Simple-Steps-Sell-More-Stereotypes-ebook/dp/B0BRNSFYG6/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1OSB7HX6FQMHS&keywords=corey+berrier&qid=1674232549&sprefix=%2Caps%2C93&sr=8-1 https://www.linkedin.com/in/coreysalescoach/

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.
When I think of HP, three things quickly emerge in my mind: Deskjet and laser printers, the 12C calculator, and David Packard's The HP Way.The HP Way is one of my top 25 books written by CEOs. In this conversation, we're rolling with a book club format with a special guest who writes book summaries on his blog. Dan Lebrero is a software engineer based in Spain, and he'll help us unpack concepts such as MBO, management by walking around, profit-sharing plans, corporate offsites, growth frameworks, and philosophies on debt management.
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.
Hello listeners, I am Rahul Abhyankar, your host. Welcome to Product Leader's Journey. In today's episode we talk about B2B Product Marketing, Sales Enablement, and AI with Lara Shackelford. Lara is a veteran Chief Marketing Officer many times over, and has led marketing teams to create impact at companies such as Oracle, Intel, Datastax, Looker (both before and after the acquisition by Google), and has also led global demand generation at Microsoft. She is currently senior vice president of marketing at iCapital. In this episode, Lara talks about how the B2B buying experience has changed, what is a good blueprint for sales training, coming up with a good ROI analysis, how to assess the ROI of AI, and what does a good partnership between product marketing, product and sales teams looks like, and much more. David Packard, the cofounder of HP, is believed to have said, “Marketing is too important to be left to the marketing department,” so I wanted to see what Lara had to say about that. Enjoy listening!

Railway tycoon Leland Stanford lived in Santa Clara Valley and founded Stanford University in 1891. Another prominent Stanford University figure, Frederick Terman. invested heavily in businesses that would base themselves in the area and employ talented young people. One such business was the original start-up, an electrical company started in a garage by Stanford alumni William Hewlett and David Packard, Hewlett-Packard. The beginning of Silicon Valley as an epicenter of innovation began in 1955 with the arrival of the Shockley Semiconductors Laboratory. Another revolutionary point was reached in 1968 when Robert Noyce and Gordon Moore left Fairchild Semiconductor to form Intel.

It is from the past that he will draw his lessons in order to shape the present.[5:15] Destiny must be fulfilled. That is my chief doctrine.[6:05] Napoleon: A Concise Biography by David Bell (Founders #294)[9:25] To aim at world empire seemed to Napoleon a most natural thing.[10:00] To have lived without glory, without leaving a trace of one's existence, is not to have lived at all.[10:55] The greatest improvisation of the human mind is that which gives existence to the nonexistent.[11:45] The best way to understand a person is to listen to that person directly. — Make Something Wonderful: Steve Jobs in his own words (Founders #299)[12:55] The great majority of men attend to what is necessary only when they feel a need for it—the precise time when it is too late.[16:10] The worst way to live according to Napoleon:When on rising from sleep a man does not know what to do with himself and drags his tedious existence from place to place; when, scanning his future, he sees nothing but dreadful monotony, one day resembling the next; when he asks himself, "Why do I exist?”—then, in my opinion, he is the most wretched of all.[17:45] Instead his (Steve Jobs) ego needs and personal drives led him to seek fulfillment by creating a legacy that would awe people. A dual legacy, actually: building innovative products and building a lasting company. He wanted to be in the pantheon with, indeed a notch above, people like Edwin Land, Bill Hewlett, and David Packard. — Steve Jobs: The Exclusive Biography by Walter Isaacson.

Davos has been all over the news because the World Economic Forum have just held their annual gathering there and our guest today has been warning us for the past 40 years about the rise of these types of globalization plans and how we are losing control of our own self determination and independence as citizens. Patrick Wood is a world leading expert on technocracies and knows all about the workings of the World Economic Forum and the Trilateral Commission, and he makes a welcome return to Hearts of Oak to delve deeper into both organisations. Back in 1978 he co-wrote, with the late Antony C. Sutton, ‘Trilaterals over Washington' which tells the story of the Trilateral Commission, founded in 1973 by David Rockefeller and Zbigniew Brzezinski, with the specific purpose of creating a ‘New International Economic Order'. While Klaus Schwab and his institution take all the headlines, the Trilateral Commission gets almost zero media coverage and yet it is just as powerful, if not more so, than the WEF. Patrick explains to us what exactly is at play, who the main actors are and how worried the UK should really be with the fact that Sir Keir Starmer, the leader of the Labour Party and possible future Prime Minister, is a longstanding member of the Trilateral Commission. Patrick Wood is a leading and critical expert on Sustainable Development, Green Economy, Agenda 21, 2030 Agenda and historic Technocracy. He is the author of Technocracy Rising: The Trojan Horse of Global Transformation (2015) and co-author of Trilaterals Over Washington, Volumes I and II (1978-1980) with the late Antony C. Sutton. Patrick remains a leading expert on the elitist Trilateral Commission, their policies and achievements in creating their self-proclaimed “New International Economic Order” which is the essence of Sustainable Development on a global scale. An economist by education, a financial analyst and writer by profession and an American Constitutionalist by choice, he maintains a Biblical world view and has deep historical insights into the modern attacks on sovereignty, property rights and personal freedom. Such attacks are epitomized by the implementation of U.N. policies such as Agenda 21, Sustainable Development, Smart Growth and in education, the widespread adoption of Common Core State Standards. He is a frequent speaker and guest on radio shows around the nation. His current research builds on Trilateral Commission hegemony, focusing on Technocracy, Transhumanism and Scientism, and how these are transforming global economics, politics and religion. Patrick is also the Executive Director and Founder of ‘Citizens for Free Speech' (CFFS) which is dedicated to preserving free speech and enabling citizens to exercise their rights as guaranteed by the United States Constitution.

We have an interview just coming up with Patrick Wood. Patrick Patrick has been with us before, we're going to talk about the WEF, Davos, obviously just been happening, the Trilateral Commission, which Patrick has written about extensively. Back in 1980, he wrote probably one of the few books, there may not be any others on the Trilateral Commission. And we're looking at a worldwide web of control. These organizations weave through politics, through media, through academia, through NGO, through religious organizations. It is all to do with control. So much has been discussed, obviously, with those meetings in Davos. And Patrick talks to us, connects some of those organizations together, tells us what happens behind the scenes. We talk about the Young Global Leaders Program, how it's looking at the next generation. Should we be worried at King Charles, his close links to the WEF? He helped launch the Great Reset back in 2020, the WEF. [1:23] Should we be worried about Keir Starmer and his membership of the Trilateral Commission? Probably will be in number 10 in a number of years. Patrick joined us to look at all these issues and of course talk about technocracy.news [1:35] where you find a wealth of information and up to date news on all of these issues. Enjoy. And hello, Hearts of Oak. Thank you once again for joining us on a pre-record coming to you a few days before and it is wonderful to have Patrick Wood back with us once again. Patrick, thank you for your time today. My pleasure. This is always a good conversation. Great to have you on, I think it was back in August.I remember vividly because I was on Holiday in Bulgaria, so I remember when it was because I didn't have my usual studio. But we want to talk about lots happening and if I can, just mention to the viewers, at Stop Technocracy on Twitter, it's very worthwhile a follow. But also the website, so technocracy.news, citizensforfreespeech.org will not get into, but that is the links in the description. So if you're watching, it'll be there, or if you're listening on the podcasting apps, it will be there in the description. But technocracy.news is really worthwhile following them. I think we are bombarded with information and it covers so much. It pulls in but doesn't overload it. Sometimes you get different news sites and it's overload where you're just getting maybe one or two stories a day and from different writers, different artists, different sources. [2:59] And I just think for the viewers and listeners, it's certainly worthwhile putting technocracy.news into your normal list of sites that you look at and you check out. So the links are in the description. And of course, make sure and follow Patrick on Twitter. But Patrick, I think we could start off with Davos. Davos is just finishing up. And it's strange that a little place in the middle of Switzerland would become a focal point of this crazy, huge gathering and of course invite only. I've seen a number of journalists there, saw [3:38] Rebel media there. Ezra Levant was there trying to interview people, talk to people in his great way. But Davos World Economic Forum, it's something people hear about and I think, over the last few years, people have begun to delve more deeply into this kind of secretive world. And it's one of these, probably the major organization in the world that controls what we do. And most people have no idea about it. So you've obviously, you watch proceedings from afar at Davos. Tell us a little bit more about kind of what happens and why people, go there? Well, it's a number one is a networking group. Maybe people don't quite understand what that is, but in business, it's not unusual, whether it's a local or some type of a regional meeting where people get together and they trade business cards and they try and stump some business for themselves. That's called just networking. And of course, personal networking, when in a dating scenario, they have that context there works too, or you meet with a bunch of people and you say, well would you like to go out with me? No I wouldn't. [4:53] Whatever. But Davos is not a policy making organization per se. It really is more of a discussion slash networking slash backroom deals. Perhaps my guess is most of the deals really don't happen at Davos itself, but that's where they get together and make acquaintances and trade business cards and hey I'll call you and your people call me or whatever and it opens channels for business to get done you know for work to get their work to get done. What's interesting about Davos to me in particular is that the makeup of Davos is very the membership by tease is very similar to the makeup of the membership of the trilateral commission And this is not surprising because going back to pre trilateral commission days, which was founded in 1973. [5:51] Going back before that Klaus Schwab, a young Klaus Schwab was attending university in America. [6:01] And he ran into Henry Kissinger. And Kissinger took him under his wing. mentored him and taught him what basically Kissinger doctrine at that time. Kissinger was a visionary, but even back then he really was. And he encouraged Schwab to go back to Europe and start what now we know as the World Economic Forum. They wanted, and this was a specific thing. [6:38] Kissinger and crew wanted, and by the way, Kissinger was a founding member of the trilateral commission. He wasn't a co-founder like Brzezinski and Rockefeller, but he was one of the first members. That crowd spearheaded by Kissinger wanted to have a European beachhead. [6:59] And the way to do that, and this was before the trilateral commission was formed, the way to do that he believed was to start an organization like what we now know as the World Economic Forum. Bring leaders together, bring them together and indoctrinate and brainwash them into trilateral commission policy. When the trilateral commission was formed [7:21] they drew a membership from three regions. There was Japan specifically, which now is broadened Asia. And then there was North America, mostly from the United States. There were a few Canadians and no Mexicans at the time. And then you have Europe. And so a third of the membership came from Europe, a third of it came from Japan, and a third of it came from North America. Well, the European contingent of the Trilateral Commission, which kind of operated together with the whole organization, but they also had their own leader, their own director for Europe and deputy director, and they had their own meetings in Europe as well, as they did in Japan. So what Schwab did, what Kissinger did with Schwab is he sent him back to Europe to start this organization, essentially a networking organization. It was followed up in a couple of years with the [8:22] Founding of the Trilateral Commission and all of a sudden now you have the real mucky mucks in Europe joining the trilateral commission by [8:31] invitation only. It was strictly invitation only and mostly handpicked by Zbigniew Brzezinski, I might add, and Rockefeller I'm sure had input. But the two organizations have worked in parallel. Ever since 1973. And originally in 73, the Trilateral commission was very secretive. They didn't want anybody know what they're doing. Even though they had extensive literature really of their, you know, we discovered their own writings. We were able to get a hold of their own magazine called Trialog. [9:09] Which is distributed mostly to members. But it was available. We got a hold of it for the asking, and we read them all. And we also read what the academics were writing that belonged to [9:22] The Trilateral commission. They were, they were open. They were, they published articles like in the, you know, New York Times and Washington Post and Foreign Affairs Magazine and you know, the Brown Journal and all kinds of highfalutin university publications. So getting literature on their writings on what they were talking about was not difficult. We attempted to expose the Trilateral Commission during the 70s and early 80s. We actually did break it down very well. Of course, we were censored to death. But they were secretive. And Rockefeller later in the 90s, when he wrote his book memoirs, he alluded to this very, very directly. He said, we're grateful to those media companies that we invited to belong to the Trilateral Commission. That included Newsweek magazine, included Time magazine, included the Wall Street Journal, you know, the biggies, right? I think Chicago Sun Times, there's about six different media conglomerates that were invited to be part of the Trilateral Commission. But they were allowed to attend the meetings, but they weren't allowed to write about them. So essentially, it became a gag order, right? [10:40] And so Rockefeller later said, well, we're grateful to all those companies that acted in discretion to attend our meetings but not to necessarily write about extensively what we were talking about. And well, it all came out in time. And you know, we know a lot more about it. [10:59] Everything we need to know about it today. We didn't maybe know in 1976 or 7, pretty new back then. On the other hand now, secretive as the trilateral commission was, and they still are. Very, they hold their cards very close to the chest as they say. They don't want anybody to see what they're doing even today. The world economic forum on the other hand is completely out of the closet. Yeah, completely. Wide open, spread it to the world. Get everybody involved that you can. [11:37] I look at it as the old kind of the old bums rush where, you know, where salesmen swoop in to convince some poor little old lady that she needs to buy this new car or whatever, you know, puts pressure on her. And this is what's happened with the World Economic Forum in recent years. They're out of the closet. They're wide open. They're telling you exactly what they're going to do. Klaus Schwab, an academic, has been writing books like The Great Reset was one. Another one was The Great Narrative that they're promoting. So they're trying to convince the world right now, through business channels, taking all the doctrine from United Nations on sustainable development, which I believe is just technocracy from the 1930s, and shoving it down the throats of the world. Their pitch is getting very thin. However, I just want to emphasize that. Their pitch is getting very thin, in my opinion. And I think a lot of other people are looking at at these people and say, who are these people anyway? You know, what on earth are they doing talking about nothing, you know, it's seemingly nothing makes sense. Just today I, I posted, well, we won't say when today is, but it's soon. [13:01] Your show, um, Al Gore, who is the poster child for global warming. What a nut. [13:09] This guy isn't just, this guy's just insane. He has a, he, he makes a rant in front of a large audience at world economic forum. [13:19] And when I say rant, he gets on the edge of his chair, he turns beat red and he shakes his fist. He's having it, you know, he has a rant and he's just letting them have it, belting it out. And I think back to the days of when he said all the polar bears are going to die and ice caps are going to melt in 12 years. Well, that didn't work out too well for him, the idiot. there are more polar bears now than ever before. and that and looks to me like the Antarctic and Arctic are still there [13:50] doing just fine, right? He gets up in his rant and he says, global warming, this is a direct quote, is the global warming adds enough heat to the, unnatural heat to the atmosphere. That is the equivalent of 600,000 Hiroshima bombs daily. [14:13] He says this publicly in the videos out there, 600,000 Hiroshima bombs every day, he says, it's the equivalent of every day exploding that many bombs. That's what's happening to our atmosphere because of global warming. And everybody in the audience like, wow, oh, Al, you're just so prophetic. How does this guy, how does this guy get a microphone? Yeah, yeah. Well, also, John Kerry is there and he's of the same ilk. But can I, it's the, is there a difference in makeup because WEF is wide. I mean, they focus on with NGOs and academia, and religious leaders, not just political. And in fact, they've got the young global leaders program. So they're looking very much the next generation. This is not just to be a one off thing that dies out with Klaus Schwab, but this is something that will live long past him. Tell us about that, because there's a lot of thinking for the future. It's not just the here and now. Oh yes, you're absolutely right. From day one, going back to the early 70s, and I believe that's where modern globalization was founded was right there with the Trilateral Commission. [15:35] Looking forward from 1973 they played the long game. Clearly they played the long game. It wasn't about, Oh, we're going to do this in five years. And by 1980, we're going to have all of our agenda together. They were long-term strategists and Brzezinski undeniably. I don't care what you think about Brzezinski, whether you love him or hate him. Brzezinski was a master strategist and all of the books he wrote, all of them were looking forward 20, 30, 40, 50 years. He played the [16:05] long game and Rockefeller the money man was playing the long game as well because his family I mean you know going back to John D Rockefeller originally in the early 18 1900s oil fortune then Banking fortune and then medical fortunes they all played the long game they were used to playing the long game so when they said we need a new international economic order in 1973 they knew it wasn't going to happen overnight. It was going to take time. And so they started that long game. Well, here's the thing. The Trilateral commission was still the, they were the master strategist for this whole thing, in my opinion. They had it all pretty much laid out even back then. But what they did not have, all they had was a bunch of grumpy old men meeting, basically meeting in a back room drinking scotch and smoking cigars. That's about all they had Originally, 300 people, 300 people. And that's not to be confused with the movie 300 or whatever it was. They weren't anything like that, right? 300 people had to, their mission was to change the world. Now, how are you going to do that? Well, you need a couple of things. One, you need contagion for your ideas. You have to spread your ideas and you can't just put an article in New York Times or Wall Street Journal. Oh, man, that's it. We're all going to run after and do this now. That's not the way the world works. [17:31] So the contagion that they set upon eventually was the United Nations. As far as spreading the concept to other parts of the world and down deep into nation states. The year after the commission was founded in 1974, I found this document on the UN website. It's there. Is called the dec and this was a general resolution that was passed it was called declaration of the establishment of the new international economic order. [18:09] That's 1974. That's the same language that was used by the trilateral commission to create a new international economic order. Was that coincidence? Well, no, the Rockefeller family had had a long, long history with the United Nations already in 1973. They were the perfect [18:31] contagion for Rockefeller to tap in order to take the crazy new international economic order, Brzezinski called it the tectonotronic era, to take that doctrine to all the nations of the world, shove it down their throat and spread it, you know, just liberally spread it all over the world. The second thing that they needed to have besides contagion was disciples, true disciples, not just forcing it down with treaties and legal agreements and memorandums, et cetera. They needed to have disciples that would work within each country and each business entity order to implement the doctrine in a practical way, right? To action the nuts and bolts to make it happen. This is where the world economic forum has blossomed as a training organization, not just, you know, Hey, let's get together in Davos and have some brainwashing stuff that happens, you know, and like Al Gore has got everybody convinced now that that 600 Hiroshima bombs are going off every day and you wake up in the morning and you think, man, I better do something about [19:45] global warming, these bombs are going to really get us, you know. But they do have the brainwashing type activities at Davos itself and other meetings. They have lots of regional meetings, by the way, all over the place. They're having meetings probably every day at this point somewhere. But they have started this organization like the young leaders group to train promising young people to take their position in society to be disciples for the new international economic order. And this is exactly what's happened. And you say, well, how could they do that? Well this is somewhat of a mystery to me, but those people who look at young people and decide whether they're top timber or not. [20:41] I'll give you a good example, I think another good example. What are the qualifications to get invited to become a Rhodes scholar? If somebody can answer that question, then it would be very instructive as to how the young leaders are chosen. They're invited. There's no application process to become, well, there kind of is, but you have to be sponsored. That's kind of the way Rhodes Scholarship is too. you look at the people, for instance, in American politics, and I'm sure it's the same there, you look at their, their extended bio and you'll see that they were Rhodes scholars. [21:29] At one time. That was a brainwashing type of a thing where they really got indoctrinated with the globalist theme. One big happy family, you know, one big global governance system. Well, Well, this has been happening now with the young leaders group for, I don't know what, 20 years, 25 years since it started. And all those young people, you say, well, how did they pick the one? Gee, isn't it strange? They picked the ones that all ended up in high positions in government, high positions in business. It's like, how did that happen? Well, there's a few outliers that didn't make it, right? I mean, they just kind of, they went through the program and then they went home and nothing happened. [22:17] But you look at Canada, for instance, half of Trudeau's cabinet are young leader graduates, you can't make this up. How did somebody know that those people that went through the program were going to get in? Well, maybe it was a push pull operation. Maybe it was, Hey, we see this guy or this gal is extremely bright, is extremely malleable, is extremely impressionable and that's the kind of person we want to come to young leaders. [22:52] And then as they graduate, they get to know them a little bit. [22:57] Now they can push. First, they pull them in. Now they can push him out. Say, well, this person has the training to become involved with a cabinet member or be a cabinet member and Trudeau's government. [23:12] So they get, they get pushed into positions of power by those who network them in in the first place. We see this, I've seen the same kind of thing, by the way, happen with [23:27] secret society groups in America, like Skull and Bones. Same, same type of thing. Seniors in college or university in Yale in particular that belong to Skull and Bones, seniors are just seniors. Most of them dumb kids, you know, still trying to figure out where the sun comes up, right? When they're not, you know, passed out on the, you know, after a big, big weekend party. They don't know anything about anything. They don't know, they don't know where they're going. They don't know what's going on. But if you pass through the [24:01] halls of skull and bones secret society at Yale. You will be pushed into positions of influence where you can do the things that they taught you to do. And so we find that they show up in all kinds of positions of power. It's, incredible. Absolutely incredible. John Kerry is a bonesman, for instance. Lots of them, George Bush is a bonesman. Can I jump to, you talked about young leaders, and for the UK, if we look at older leaders, we may think actually this is a thing, the UK kind of feels ourselves separate from Europe, we're not America, so we're safe. But I just want to remind our viewers, you can pick up on this, the great reset which we all hear about, which was May 2020. And that was together with the WEF and Prince Charles. [25:00] Now King Charles, Prince of Wales, sustainable markets initiative. And they launched this program together. So that means that, I guess, how worried should we be in the UK that the person who is now King of United Kingdom was there two years ago or three years ago with the WEF, launching this great reset which is something which has caused a lot of us much concern. [25:30] Yes and it should. I don't know how you're going to deal with that in the near future, in the next two or three or four years. My first thought when he became King Charles was maybe all of his new responsibilities and activities might crowd out some of his nuttiness on sustainable development. I doubt it. I'm thinking about I kind of doubt it. Because he has people he can just delegate it all to now, you know, you do this, you do that, whatever, and you can push it out on other people. But it's a the thing, I think, actually, I think Britain is really picking up on this a lot of people in Britain, I think are picking up on this. And that is that what these people are doing is patently anti human. And it's anti anti-civilizational. And I think when people begin to hurt as a result of it, and right now people are hurting not only from, from medical issues, carry over of the shots or [26:32] whether it's a energy prices going through the roof. Uh, people can't turn on their, you know, get, get warm in the, uh, this, this hits the pocketbook. Now they're talking about 15 minute cities where everybody's going to be, you know, the lockdown and you can't go within 15 minutes of your or outside of 15 minutes of your residence. I see pushback. I see people say, wait a minute, wait a minute. That's crazy. That's crazy talk. What are you, we're not going to do that. People just need to rebel against this. Honestly, that if there was ever a call for civil disobedience, it's right now, just settle it, settle it now before they come after you with tanks and guns and mustard gas, I guess, because it's going to eventually end up with, if the people continue to roll over to this stuff, they will eventually be completely annihilated. It's anti-human and anti-civilizational. And those people who enjoy their country, I don't know if joy is the right word, but you know, you get my point that appreciate the fact that they live in a country and it's their country. It's not our country. It's not Germany's [27:41] country. It's your country. Those people who appreciate the fact that they do live in a country that has a culture, that has a language too. [27:53] That has a history. This is very important to people. When they realize that somebody's coming to wipe that away, do away with it all, they draw the line. They say, no, I mean, even the most liberal, whoever, when they're faced with that choice draws the line. No, you can't do that. You can't have that. So it's going to be tough. Can I ask you about information? Another story you put up from the WEF was that just published a report. And it talked about misinformation and disinformation being among the top global risks. And then you've got, that's the WEF saying that, at the same time you've got the WHO, the World Health Organization, another body, which has, I think, come to people's attention during the last three years. But they shared a video on Twitter citing their information, their claim that the anti-vaccine activism is deadlier than global terrorism, nuclear proliferation, gun violence. You've got, and once you've got an organization talking about misinformation being so deadly, then you've got another organization that they will work closely together putting out absolute misinformation without any back. [29:11] And it is this, I guess, battle for information, control of people. And it all goes down to control, because you control the information going out, you control what people do and how they respond and how they live. Yes. Yes. I had a kind of a profound thought a couple of days ago that for all of the confusion and the finger pointing that goes on with quote unquote hate speech. [29:40] You know, the all groups, you know, different groups, you know, You know, while you're doing hate speech against me, no, you're doing hate against me. [29:47] And people get triggered, you know, but oh, that's hate speech. For all of the rhetoric that we hear about hate speech and misinformation and disinformation, they're all closely related in the big narrative. When you listen to the people at the World Economic Forum this week, talk about misinformation, They are absolutely obsessed with this concept. And it occurred to me why the only context for misinformation, disinformation and hate speech is in relation to their preconceived narrative. That's it. That's the only thing this is about. If you talk against them, if you criticize their narrative, then you're executed. You have committed hate speech because in their mind they're thinking that maybe people. Like you and me, I can't speak for you to speak for me. I've written pretty extensively about it. [31:01] They look at me and say, Pat would hate me. He hates me. that's hate. I can't do anything but have hate speech. I can't do anything but have misinformation. I can't do anything. I say is disinformation to them because it's their narrative that they are protecting and their narrative only there's nothing else in the world that that can be that that can be other than just confusing to people. But if you trace it back to the source, you can see in their language, they are scared to death that people are [31:40] criticizing them for their crackpot policies. No wonder they should be, they should be criticized. Obviously they should, but the only way for them to shut that down is to shut down free speech. [31:55] That's their enemy. Free speech has become their absolute enemy. No wonder that PayPal pulled the finances of free speech union in Great Britain. Yeah. No wonder at all. You can't stand those people. Free speech people get rid of them. They're criticizing us. They're telling us we're wrong. They're telling us we're insane. Like laughing at Al Gore saying is the equivalent of 600,000 Hiroshima bombs going off every day. As long as you let this continue, just want you to know that's what we're facing and it's going to destroy us. It's going to kill us all. And somebody stands up and says, Al Gore, you are insane. You're nuts. You belong in an insane asylum. Well, that's hate speech to them because how dare you criticize? Well, Al Gore thinks that way. How dare you criticize me? The pontificate supreme of global warming, who knows everything and can foretell the future. Special tea leaves and tarot cards, I guess. But not one thing he's ever said has come true, not one [33:10] All of his crazy predictions have been completely discredited. And yet he still has a platform, yet he still shows up, yet they still give him a microphone, yet he still ends up with his videos on YouTube so the whole world can see it. If it was any other context, Al Gore could be compared to a homeless psychotic nutcase in San Francisco, babbling, babbling on the street corner, drooling into the gutter. It's like, what's the difference between the two? It's just nonsense coming out, cannon fodder coming out of their mouth. It means nothing. It's just totally untrue. And yet if you criticize them, they're threatened. Is it true, I think I saw a report about the amount of money that Al Gore's made, I think, 300 million or 400 million dollars. Obviously what he's talking about is financially successful for him and he's benefited that way, irrelevant of any truth or not. It's money making business, for him. With these other figures, it goes past financial side, it goes to I guess an, absolute desire to control. Um, because certainly with the, with the COVID stuff, you think, well [34:37] It's just financial benefit, but if it was only that you could tackle that, but it seems to be much deeper. Yeah. Yes. It, it is. And remember that Al Gore for years was a member of the trilateral commission along with Bill Clinton. They served together president and vice president during the 90s. And, you know, this is his [35:03] alma mater, right? So he's been spouting the trilateral position ever since he became a member of the trilateral commission. And that preceded predated 1990 when he got elected. So Clinton and Gore did more to promote sustainable development. Remember 1992 was when the Rio conference took place and the Agenda 21 was created and sustainable development was born. Right. That was during Clinton's administration. So Clinton and Gore embedded that in the US government, US economic machine. Gore's been on it ever since. So it's Clinton, but Gore picked it up as, hey, I can make some money off this too. This is better than writing a book. You know, like a kiss and tell book. [36:00] This is better than that. I can make a lot more money selling, pushing global warming and getting these green investments in my portfolio. And, but nevertheless, yes. Is there more? Yes. He is a classic example of a technocrat. Classic. Pure technocracy is what's on his mind. control over everything in the end. And he wants to be a big fish in a big pond. How has the Trilateral Commission got away from scrutiny? I know you have written about this. When I first began to hear about the Trilateral Commission, I thought just someone was talking gibberish and then I had to delve into it and really learn. Everyone talks about Davos is kind of this sexy high profile meeting that people want to hear about. It's on at the moment and our newspapers are full of, talking [36:56] about it. And yet when you look at the trilateral commission, I don't think I've ever seen a single article in the UK media talk about the trilateral commission. How has that managed to keep off any public agenda? Mostly because they own the media or they'll say they control the media and they always have ever since 1973, they control the media. You're not going to get any stories come out on the trilateral commission, any mainstream media, nothing critical, nothing critical, ever. It's never been. The only time that there might have been a couple of critical articles are back in the late 70s, early 80s. But nothing came of them and they were not continued. The research was not continued. It's the most underreported story, in my opinion, of all of of the entire last century and today. It should be, but it's well documented. On the other hand, it's not speculation. They call it a conspiracy theory. You know, we were relegated as being conspiracy theorists. That is Anthony Sutton and myself. Anthony Sutton was a Brit, by the way. [38:09] Migrated immigrant, whatever, immigrant, he came to the United States, worked at UCLA as a professor of economics initially. But he was a Brit and great guy. But we wrote about and exposed the trilateral commission and even back then, Tony, who was at the time working at the Hoover Institution at Stanford as a research fellow, he was researching the trilateral commission. He hadn't written [38:40] anything about it yet, but word got out that Sutton was researching the trilateral commission. And the word percolated up through the Stanford network to the president of Stanford. [38:52] Whose name was David Packard, who happened to be, that's Hewlett Packard, David Packard, who happened to be one of the founding members of the Trilateral commission, like with Henry Kissinger, right? And so when Packard got wind of what Sutton was doing, Sutton's life was doing academic research and writing books. Packer said, this ain't going in the right direction. We don't want a guy like Anthony Sutton breaking down what the Trilateral commission is all about. So they froze him out and drop kicked him, you know from the 40 yard line out of Stanford and out of, they ruined his career. Essentially they kicked him out. Summarily, short period after that was when I ran into him and met him. and I had also been studying the Trilateral commission. Purely random meeting, but we met and we started talking to you. You know, something about the trilateral commission. We are. Yeah. Do you, you know, we just kind of mix it up. And we realized that we had such a huge story, especially with him telling me. I didn't know what I had old of, honestly. I was looking at it. I said, I know there's something wrong here. I just don't know what. [40:14] But when he came along and said, I can tell you from the inside. Now the research I've already done. And you are absolutely right. And this story is absolutely huge. And they are trying to squash it. And that gave us a reason to stiffen our necks and say, we're going to publish it. We're going to do this. We're going to report on these people and expose them. But we were censored to death. We really got hammered. And that was back, what, 1980 was it? You published those? 1982? Yeah. It started out in 1978 and 1980 was our last book. We did two volumes. What else has been written? Have there been other authors? Have there been other books written about it? Again it's something you never see and is that really the main work that's been done on them? Yes, you want and you won't. The only other book that I know of was a book by a gal by the name of Holly Sklar. I can't remember the name of it. It had the word trilateral in it, but Holly Sklar was on the left, side of the political spectrum. Actually, she was, as I remember, I think she was associated even, I don't remember if it was loosely or closely with Lyndon LaRouche organization, which was [41:35] executive intelligence review or something like that. I never gave any credence whatsoever to that organization by the way I had no association with them whatsoever but that she did write a book, and it did have some information in it there were also quite a bit of stuff that wasn't true wasn't right but other than that there had been no scholarly books written period none we were the [42:03] the first and the last and by the way I did republish I did republish Trilaterals over Washington into a single book. I can't hold it up here. I don't have one right here. But in a single book, both volumes and it's available on well, like Amazon and, Barnes and Noble, etc. It's also available on technocracy.news. Well, we'll put a link in the description for people to get that. Certainly. Can I, I wanted to talk to you about the WHO new digital, I think it's just gone through in the US now where. Your vaccine status will be down for all to see. There's the whole thing on, I think the The Wall Street Journal just had an article and the title was Central bank digital currencies are coming ready or not. Those are two, but I think I'll park those because I just want to finish off. You gave a number of names of individuals. [43:02] Wasn't Jimmy Carter one of the people who started the trilateral commission? Was he there at the beginning? Oh yes, the founding member. Yes, indeed. So was his vice president, Walter Mondale. Well, I mean, it goes through US politics, but over here, I've seen that Keir Starmer is a member of the Trilateral Commission. He is the highest, probably British politician at the moment over in Davos at the WEF. He is also a member of the Trilateral Commission. He probably will be the British Prime Minister in probably two years. Our Conservative government, Conservative in name only, have done a disastrous job in mismanaging the British economy and doing everything a Conservative government should not do. And I think Labour will get in by default because the Conservative Party are so weak. But with Keir Stammer then positioned for power, probably in two years, how worried should we be in Britain? I asked you about King Charles, but the person in number 10 is the one who really does [44:09] set the agenda and make the decisions. How concerned should we be as Brits of the person going into number 10, the prime minister being a member of the trilateral commission? Yes, I would fight it tooth and nail personally. I don't know how, but I would fight it tooth and nail. I'll give you an anecdotal story. Back in 1979, when the election cycle was going on to get rid of Jimmy Carter, worst president we ever had at the time. [44:43] Ronald Reagan was running for president and his contender was George HW Bush. That Bush was running in other words in the primary Bush was running against Reagan. For the presidency, you know, to be on the presidential ballot. Yeah. And Bush did later become President, right? And he became Vice President for Reagan. But Bush was a member of the Trilateral Commission. And when we were in our prime of writing about the Trilateral Commission, there were a lot of Americans very upset, very upset. And the colour of our book at the [45:25] time was red and white. It was very distinctive. You could see it from 100 yards. If somebody held it up. You say, Oh, I know that book. Well, our members are readers of our book. We're going to the political meetings of George HW Bush. He was stomping for the, you know, for to get the nomination. And people would show up with our books and they would yell out, ask him, are you a member of the Trilateral Commission? Why are you a member of the Trilateral Commission. Why are you promoting a new international economic order that sounds like it's anti-American? You know, those sorts of things. And they were holding up a copy, copies of our book. As they would do that, they're asking questions right out of the text almost, right? Because they saw it was just crackpot. And so Bush took a lot of heat. Well, he went down to Florida, which is the biggest swing state at the time in the country, huge state. He was in Florida doing one of his political speeches, quite a few people in the hall, and somebody held up one of our books and hollered out a questionnaire, asked him a question, and he finally snapped. He melted down, started cursing [46:47] The, uh, the questioner just free. I mean, just completely just got beat red foul language, the whole thing. And he stomped off the stage. [47:02] And that was the end. That was the end of his candidacy. [47:09] He was like disgraced because cameras are on him. And the next morning, the headline in local papers said, you got to appreciate these editors. The headline said, have you ever seen a burning bush? [47:26] Okay, well, here's, you know, here's, here's the thing. Bush was dropped out. That was the end of him as far as the primary is concerned. Reagan cinched it after that and Bush dropped out. But when the convention started, back room bargaining with other members of the Trilateral Commission like Henry Kissinger. Basically said, Ron, it's George for your vice president. [48:03] And I'm sure Reagan said, I don't want that slime ball for my vice president. you're taking them or you're not going to get in. [48:10] And remember they tried to, somebody tried to kill, um, shot Reagan at some point and almost killed him. It would have killed him if the bullet had been just a little bit in one direction. But, um, you know, this, this is the way this group, this movement has gone forward is absolutely incredible. They are not indestructible. I have to say if enough, if enough people in your country got wind of what the trilateral commission was doing and has done to destroy Europe and the whole theatre over there, they would be hounding this person with at least if nothing else with our book, they would be hounding this person everywhere They went asking them questions. [48:57] Did you do this? Did you, did you support this? Why are you doing this? Why is this trilateral commission commission policy, blah, blah, blah, blah, and hound him to death until he melts down. [49:08] Get rid of him. But I wish there was more literature. I really do. You know, people can get a hold of our book and I say don't order it over seas [49:18] It costs bundles of money to send it from America to anywhere anymore. But it's available over there from electronic bookstores and stuff. I mean, you can get a copy over virtually overnight, for instance, from Amazon, do it. If you want to copy the book, that's how to get it over there and get it quickly. But we don't need any more of these people anywhere in the world. They are the enemy of civilization. Bottom line, they're the enemies of civilization. And if they're allowed to reign, they will in the end, destroy everything that we know and love. And this has been the, I wouldn't say unintended consequence, but people even back in 1992 to 1994, that attended the Rio conference where sustainable development was born observers who were participants, not people like like you and me necessarily. I mean, these were left-wing, you know, liberal environmentalists that went there. They looked at that, participated in that whole thing, and they came away and said, this is crazy talk. This is going, all this is going to do is the rich are gonna get richer, the poor are gonna get poor, and the environment is gonna get destroyed in the process. And that's exactly what's happened ever since. The rich have got richer, the poor have got poorer, and the environment is worse off today that has ever been in the history of our country or the world. [50:43] These people are, this is their policy. This is their policies that have done this to us. It needs to stop. [50:51] Well, I think that's a call to action to our viewers to, to learn and to act upon that information. It's, it's vital. Um, Patrick, thank you so much for coming on. It's always great to have you. And as I said, the beginning, I'll repeat at the end, Technocracy.News, I find extremely beneficial and helpful as I try and sift through the the amount of information we get.

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
This is a prepared text of the Commencement address delivered by Steve Jobs on June 12, 2005.I am honored to be with you today at your commencement from one of the finest universities in the world. I never graduated from college. Truth be told, this is the closest I've ever gotten to a college graduation. Today I want to tell you three stories from my life. That's it. No big deal. Just three stories.The first story is about connecting the dots.I dropped out of Reed College after the first 6 months, but then stayed around as a drop-in for another 18 months or so before I really quit. So why did I drop out?It started before I was born. My biological mother was a young, unwed college graduate student, and she decided to put me up for adoption. She felt very strongly that I should be adopted by college graduates, so everything was all set for me to be adopted at birth by a lawyer and his wife. Except that when I popped out they decided at the last minute that they really wanted a girl. So my parents, who were on a waiting list, got a call in the middle of the night asking: “We have an unexpected baby boy; do you want him?” They said: “Of course.” My biological mother later found out that my mother had never graduated from college and that my father had never graduated from high school. She refused to sign the final adoption papers. She only relented a few months later when my parents promised that I would someday go to college.And 17 years later I did go to college. But I naively chose a college that was almost as expensive as Stanford, and all of my working-class parents' savings were being spent on my college tuition. After six months, I couldn't see the value in it. I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life and no idea how college was going to help me figure it out. And here I was spending all of the money my parents had saved their entire life. So I decided to drop out and trust that it would all work out OK. It was pretty scary at the time, but looking back it was one of the best decisions I ever made. The minute I dropped out I could stop taking the required classes that didn't interest me, and begin dropping in on the ones that looked interesting.It wasn't all romantic. I didn't have a dorm room, so I slept on the floor in friends' rooms, I returned Coke bottles for the 5¢ deposits to buy food with, and I would walk the 7 miles across town every Sunday night to get one good meal a week at the Hare Krishna temple. I loved it. And much of what I stumbled into by following my curiosity and intuition turned out to be priceless later on. Let me give you one example:Reed College at that time offered perhaps the best calligraphy instruction in the country. Throughout the campus every poster, every label on every drawer, was beautifully hand calligraphed. Because I had dropped out and didn't have to take the normal classes, I decided to take a calligraphy class to learn how to do this. I learned about serif and sans serif typefaces, about varying the amount of space between different letter combinations, about what makes great typography great. It was beautiful, historical, artistically subtle in a way that science can't capture, and I found it fascinating.None of this had even a hope of any practical application in my life. But 10 years later, when we were designing the first Macintosh computer, it all came back to me. And we designed it all into the Mac. It was the first computer with beautiful typography. If I had never dropped in on that single course in college, the Mac would have never had multiple typefaces or proportionally spaced fonts. And since Windows just copied the Mac, it's likely that no personal computer would have them. If I had never dropped out, I would have never dropped in on this calligraphy class, and personal computers might not have the wonderful typography that they do. Of course it was impossible to connect the dots looking forward when I was in college. But it was very, very clear looking backward 10 years later.Again, you can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backward. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something — your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.My second story is about love and loss.I was lucky — I found what I loved to do early in life. Woz and I started Apple in my parents' garage when I was 20. We worked hard, and in 10 years Apple had grown from just the two of us in a garage into a $2 billion company with over 4,000 employees. We had just released our finest creation — the Macintosh — a year earlier, and I had just turned 30. And then I got fired. How can you get fired from a company you started? Well, as Apple grew we hired someone who I thought was very talented to run the company with me, and for the first year or so things went well. But then our visions of the future began to diverge and eventually we had a falling out. When we did, our Board of Directors sided with him. 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 five 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 hits 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 your 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. 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 until you find it. Don't settle.My third story is about death.When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like: “If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right.” It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: “If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?” And whenever the answer has been “No” for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything — all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure — these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.About a year ago I was diagnosed with cancer. I had a scan at 7:30 in the morning, and it clearly showed a tumor on my pancreas. I didn't even know what a pancreas was. The doctors told me this was almost certainly a type of cancer that is incurable, and that I should expect to live no longer than three to six months. My doctor advised me to go home and get my affairs in order, which is doctor's code for prepare to die. It means to try to tell your kids everything you thought you'd have the next 10 years to tell them in just a few months. It means to make sure everything is buttoned up so that it will be as easy as possible for your family. It means to say your goodbyes.I lived with that diagnosis all day. Later that evening I had a biopsy, where they stuck an endoscope down my throat, through my stomach and into my intestines, put a needle into my pancreas and got a few cells from the tumor. I was sedated, but my wife, who was there, told me that when they viewed the cells under a microscope the doctors started crying because it turned out to be a very rare form of pancreatic cancer that is curable with surgery. I had the surgery and I'm fine now.Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.Thank you all very much.

I particularly enjoy that he focuses on both the founder's positive and negative characteristics as a way of highlighting things to mimic and avoid.”“I just paid for my first premium podcast subscription for Founders podcast. Learning from those who came before us is one of the highest value ways to invest time.

Propósito /Del lat. proposĭtum/ es el porqué de nuestra existencia, el que da sentido a lo que hacemos y el que se convierte en una brújula moral y motivacional de nuestras acciones, decisiones y sacrificios. En últimas fechas muchas personas estamos hablando de propósito. En 1960 David Packard, cofundador de Hewlett-Packard, esbozó, ante miembros de su empresa, una de las primeras definiciones de propósito al preguntar en una reunión de trabajo ¿por qué estamos aquí? Años después, Simon Sinek ha estado abordando el tema desde diferentes perspectivas y hoy en día muchas personas abonan a enriquecer las conversaciones del propósito. Aún así, todavía tenemos mucho que explorar, entender y aprender respecto al propósito de cada uno de nosotros y de las organizaciones de las que formamos parte. Esta semana en HUMAN LEADER PODCAST nos acompaña Alejandra Barba con quien hablaremos de lo que nos da sentido: el propósito. Alejandra Barba, cuenta con 11 años de experiencia en Recursos Humanos, es especialista en procesos de gestión del talento; programas de capacitación a mandos medios, desarrollo de líderes positivos, programas de transformación cultural y de integración de equipos. Fundadora y consultora en desarrollo organizacional de Damelimonada, Profesora en la Escuela de Negocios y Liderazgo del Tecnológico de Monterrey e Instructora en materia de Psicología Positiva para la Universidad Tecmilenio. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/humanleadermx/message

Peter Burke is back in an insightful discussion about the components of profit. This interview goes beyond the bottom-line to come up with three things about profit that every business owner should know. Topics include the roles of being focused, creativity, community, and employees. Special attention is on objectives of profitability from David Packard's book ‘The HP Way' and whether they are relevant today.

No matter where you look around in today's world, you use things that were conceived and built by engineers. There were engineering-minded thinkers in ancient times like Archimedes and Leonardo da Vinci. industrial age thinkers like Thomas Edison and Henry Ford built on their ideas, to manufacture many things that improved the quality of our daily lives. Since then, engineers like Alan Turing, Thomas Watson and David Packard ushered in an electronic revolution that gave us the technology that makes possible the communication we're having right now. Engineers are great. But, they are also a breed apart. They have a stereotype of being way too exacting for most people's liking. They put a new spin on the proverbial glass half-full or half empty debate. While the Pessimist says "The glass is half empty" and the Optimist says "The glass is half full," The Engineer does some measuring and pronounces "The glass is exactly twice the size that it needs to be." They also have a reputation for being notoriously tough to market to. Today's guest knows how to reach engineers, and in her 2020 book Content Marketing, Engineered, she gives us a formula so we can reach them as well. Wendy Covey is a co-founder of TREW Marketing, an Austin, TX-based agency that serves technical industries such as engineering design and hardware manufacturing.

Hewlett-Packard, perhaps better known as simply HP, has taken an interesting journey to get to where they are today. We might know them for their laptops and printers that never seem to work when we need them to, but this wasn't always the way for Hewlett-Packard. William Hewlett and David Packard (picking which name came first on a coin flip) started the company with a drill press and a few dollars in a rented garage. Years later, their first customer, Disney, got them well on their way to success. The two men had a storied existence from building this iconic company, to serving in World War 2, and even helping to serve in the United States government. All this while building out one of the leading tech giants in the world. Sit back and enjoy the history of Hewlett-Packard and learn what a significant impact HP has had on the world.
Quote of the Day Success is never final, and failure is never fatal; it's courage that counts...Unknown This morning I was listening to one of the greatest commencement addresses of all time by Steve Jobs. I do this occasionally in my morning routine to glean words of inspiration and motivation from thought leaders and successful business professionals. It's a great way to get a quick dose of "behind the scenes" of very successful people, because they often share thoughts, insights and lessons learned in their lives. This speech was a great one, so I decided I am going to read you the transcript and see if it can also bring you some great ideas and thoughts (like it did for me). I hope you enjoy. Here it is: I am honored to be with you today at your commencement from one of the finest universities in the world. I never graduated from college. Truth be told, this is the closest I've ever gotten to a college graduation. Today I want to tell you three stories from my life. That's it. No big deal. Just three stories. The first story is about connecting the dots. I dropped out of Reed College after the first 6 months, but then stayed around as a drop-in for another 18 months or so before I really quit. So why did I drop out? It started before I was born. My biological mother was a young, unwed college graduate student, and she decided to put me up for adoption. She felt very strongly that I should be adopted by college graduates, so everything was all set for me to be adopted at birth by a lawyer and his wife. Except that when I popped out they decided at the last minute that they really wanted a girl. So my parents, who were on a waiting list, got a call in the middle of the night asking: "We have an unexpected baby boy; do you want him?" They said: "Of course." My biological mother later found out that my mother had never graduated from college and that my father had never graduated from high school. She refused to sign the final adoption papers. She only relented a few months later when my parents promised that I would someday go to college. And 17 years later I did go to college. But I naively chose a college that was almost as expensive as Stanford, and all of my working-class parents' savings were being spent on my college tuition. After six months, I couldn't see the value in it. I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life and no idea how college was going to help me figure it out. And here I was spending all of the money my parents had saved their entire life. So I decided to drop out and trust that it would all work out OK. It was pretty scary at the time, but looking back it was one of the best decisions I ever made. The minute I dropped out I could stop taking the required classes that didn't interest me, and begin dropping in on the ones that looked interesting. It wasn't all romantic. I didn't have a dorm room, so I slept on the floor in friends' rooms, I returned Coke bottles for the 5¢ deposits to buy food with, and I would walk the 7 miles across town every Sunday night to get one good meal a week at the Hare Krishna temple. I loved it. And much of what I stumbled into by following my curiosity and intuition turned out to be priceless later on. Let me give you one example: Reed College at that time offered perhaps the best calligraphy instruction in the country. Throughout the campus every poster, every label on every drawer, was beautifully hand calligraphed. Because I had dropped out and didn't have to take the normal classes, I decided to take a calligraphy class to learn how to do this. I learned about serif and sans serif typefaces, about varying the amount of space between different letter combinations, about what makes great typography great. It was beautiful, historical, artistically subtle in a way that science can't capture, and I found it fascinating. None of this had even a hope of any practical application in my life. But 10 years later, when we were designing the first Macintosh computer, it all came back to me. And we designed it all into the Mac. It was the first computer with beautiful typography. If I had never dropped in on that single course in college, the Mac would have never had multiple typefaces or proportionally spaced fonts. And since Windows just copied the Mac, it's likely that no personal computer would have them. If I had never dropped out, I would have never dropped in on this calligraphy class, and personal computers might not have the wonderful typography that they do. Of course it was impossible to connect the dots looking forward when I was in college. But it was very, very clear looking backward 10 years later. Again, you can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backward. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something — your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life. My second story is about love and loss. I was lucky — I found what I loved to do early in life. Woz and I started Apple in my parents' garage when I was 20. We worked hard, and in 10 years Apple had grown from just the two of us in a garage into a $2 billion company with over 4,000 employees. We had just released our finest creation — the Macintosh — a year earlier, and I had just turned 30. And then I got fired. How can you get fired from a company you started? Well, as Apple grew we hired someone who I thought was very talented to run the company with me, and for the first year or so things went well. But then our visions of the future began to diverge and eventually we had a falling out. When we did, our Board of Directors sided with him. 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 five 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 hits 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 your 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. 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 until you find it. Don't settle. My third story is about death. When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like: "If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right." It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: "If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?" And whenever the answer has been "No" for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something. Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything — all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure — these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart. About a year ago I was diagnosed with cancer. I had a scan at 7:30 in the morning, and it clearly showed a tumor on my pancreas. I didn't even know what a pancreas was. The doctors told me this was almost certainly a type of cancer that is incurable, and that I should expect to live no longer than three to six months. My doctor advised me to go home and get my affairs in order, which is doctor's code for prepare to die. It means to try to tell your kids everything you thought you'd have the next 10 years to tell them in just a few months. It means to make sure everything is buttoned up so that it will be as easy as possible for your family. It means to say your goodbyes. I lived with that diagnosis all day. Later that evening I had a biopsy, where they stuck an endoscope down my throat, through my stomach and into my intestines, put a needle into my pancreas and got a few cells from the tumor. I was sedated, but my wife, who was there, told me that when they viewed the cells under a microscope the doctors started crying because it turned out to be a very rare form of pancreatic cancer that is curable with surgery. I had the surgery and I'm fine now. This was the closest I've been to facing death, and I hope it's the closest I get for a few more decades. Having lived through it, I can now say this to you with a bit more certainty than when death was a useful but purely intellectual concept: No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true. Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary. When I was young, there was an amazing publication called The Whole Earth Catalog, which was one of the bibles of my generation. It was created by a fellow named Stewart Brand not far from here in Menlo Park, and he brought it to life with his poetic touch. This was in the late 1960s, before personal computers and desktop publishing, so it was all made with typewriters, scissors and Polaroid cameras. It was sort of like Google in paperback form, 35 years before Google came along: It was idealistic, and overflowing with neat tools and great notions. Stewart and his team put out several issues of The Whole Earth Catalog, and then when it had run its course, they put out a final issue. It was the mid-1970s, and I was your age. On the back cover of their final issue was a photograph of an early morning country road, the kind you might find yourself hitchhiking on if you were so adventurous. Beneath it were the words: "Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish." It was their farewell message as they signed off. Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish. And I have always wished that for myself. And now, as you graduate to begin anew, I wish that for you. Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish. Thank you all very much. George Wright III

"O Marketing é importante demais para ser deixado nas mãos do departamento de Marketing". A frase é atribuída ao cofundador da HP, David Packard. Por outro lado, há tarefas que só um departamento ou agência especializada em marketing podem executar, como a implementação de metodologias para captação de clientes, fechamento de vendas e fidelização.

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'.

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.
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.

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.

Comment puis-je diriger quand je ne suis pas en charge de diriger ? https://fcelestin.com - https://coach-formateur.com Nous avons tous un a priori sur la question du leadership. Qu’est-ce qu’un leader ? En quoi se différencie-t-il des autres ?

Pouvons-nous nous imaginer dans la peau : d’un Steve Jobs, d’un Bill Gates ou de l’un des deux fondateurs mythiques de HP ; David Packard et William Hewlett, des visionnaires qui ont à jamais changé le monde, ou encore en quelques guides spirituels qui ont transformé l’être humain, ou des personnalités militaire ou politique comme Churchill. Pour la majorité d’entre nous, le leader à la connotation d’un entraîneur, d’un motivateur, de quelqu’un qui inspire, qui est courageuse et se veut en rupture avec le statu quo. Pour d’autres ils voient plutôt le leader comme celui qui dirige.

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!

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.

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.
Brian Fredrickson sits down with OTH to discuss how lessons learned from the study of David Packard, Deputy Secretary of Defense from 1969 to 1971, may significantly influence present day acquisition policy and help to shape acquisition reform for the 21st century. Brian Fredrickson, author of the research study, The Laird-Packard Way: Unpacking Defense Acquisition Policy. Brian takes an in depth look into David Packard’s legacy as the Deputy Secretary of Defense in the late 60s and early 70s and uncovers valuable lessons learned that may be applied to much needed defense acquisition reform today. Our conversation starts with how David Packard has influenced defense acquisitions and the implications for applying key principles from decades past to current and on-going acquisition reform. Brian breaks down some of his most significant findings to include how Packard’s love for gardening influenced his success in the acquisition arena.

I am honored to be with you today at your commencement from one of the finest universities in the world. I never graduated from college. Truth be told, this is the closest I've ever gotten to a college graduation. Today I want to tell you three stories from my life. That's it. No big deal. Just three stories. The first story is about connecting the dots. I dropped out of Reed College after the first 6 months, but then stayed around as a drop-in for another 18 months or so before I really quit. So why did I drop out? It started before I was born. My biological mother was a young, unwed college graduate student, and she decided to put me up for adoption. She felt very strongly that I should be adopted by college graduates, so everything was all set for me to be adopted at birth by a lawyer and his wife. Except that when I popped out they decided at the last minute that they really wanted a girl. So my parents, who were on a waiting list, got a call in the middle of the night asking: "We have an unexpected baby boy; do you want him?" They said: "Of course." My biological mother later found out that my mother had never graduated from college and that my father had never graduated from high school. She refused to sign the final adoption papers. She only relented a few months later when my parents promised that I would someday go to college. And 17 years later I did go to college. But I naively chose a college that was almost as expensive as Stanford, and all of my working-class parents' savings were being spent on my college tuition. After six months, I couldn't see the value in it. I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life and no idea how college was going to help me figure it out. And here I was spending all of the money my parents had saved their entire life. So I decided to drop out and trust that it would all work out OK. It was pretty scary at the time, but looking back it was one of the best decisions I ever made. The minute I dropped out I could stop taking the required classes that didn't interest me, and begin dropping in on the ones that looked interesting. It wasn't all romantic. I didn't have a dorm room, so I slept on the floor in friends' rooms, I returned coke bottles for the 5¢ deposits to buy food with, and I would walk the 7 miles across town every Sunday night to get one good meal a week at the Hare Krishna temple. I loved it. And much of what I stumbled into by following my curiosity and intuition turned out to be priceless later on. Let me give you one example: Reed College at that time offered perhaps the best calligraphy instruction in the country. Throughout the campus every poster, every label on every drawer, was beautifully hand calligraphed. Because I had dropped out and didn't have to take the normal classes, I decided to take a calligraphy class to learn how to do this. I learned about serif and san serif typefaces, about varying the amount of space between different letter combinations, about what makes great typography great. It was beautiful, historical, artistically subtle in a way that science can't capture, and I found it fascinating. None of this had even a hope of any practical application in my life. But ten years later, when we were designing the first Macintosh computer, it all came back to me. And we designed it all into the Mac. It was the first computer with beautiful typography. If I had never dropped in on that single course in college, the Mac would have never had multiple typefaces or proportionally spaced fonts. And since Windows just copied the Mac, it's likely that no personal computer would have them. If I had never dropped out, I would have never dropped in on this calligraphy class, and personal computers might not have the wonderful typography that they do. Of course it was impossible to connect the dots looking forward when I was in college. But it was very, very clear looking backwards ten years later. Again, you can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something — your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life. My second story is about love and loss. I was lucky — I found what I loved to do early in life. Woz and I started Apple in my parents garage when I was 20. We worked hard, and in 10 years Apple had grown from just the two of us in a garage into a $2 billion company with over 4000 employees. We had just released our finest creation — the Macintosh — a year earlier, and I had just turned 30. And then I got fired. How can you get fired from a company you started? Well, as Apple grew we hired someone who I thought was very talented to run the company with me, and for the first year or so things went well. But then our visions of the future began to diverge and eventually we had a falling out. When we did, our Board of Directors sided with him. 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. （字数限制，完整文字请关注NEWS Plus微信）
