Podcast appearances and mentions of Steve Jobs

Who knew Steve Jobs didn't make the majority of his money from Apple?!

Welcome to the LIVING FOR THE BOYLE review series!  Daniel Francis Boyle originally hailed from Manchester, England and his filmmaking career took off thirty years ago in 1995 with the release of acclaimed cult thriller Shallow Grave.  And ever since then, Danny Boyle (as he's officially known) has carved out a uniquely successful career not only achieving box office success several times but also winning a few Oscars along the way.  During this time period, he has also become one of MY personal favorite directors, having helmed excellent ORIGINAL stories spanning several genres including children's fantasy, science fiction, crime drama, horror, and biopic.  Over the next few months, I will be reviewing some of my favorite entries from his filmography in the lead-up to the long-awaited sequel to one of his more successful films….28 Years Later which will be released in the U.S. on June 20!From the Oscar-winning writer (Aaron Sorkin) of The Social Network comes another "Based Upon a True Story" exploration of one of the titans of the digital revolution, this time the titular Steve Jobs played by Oscar-nominee Michael Fassbender (Shame, Black Bag).  This story takes behind the scenes in the lead-up to three VERY different product launches headlined by the eventual Apple CEO in 1984, 1988, and culminating in 1998 with the launch of the revoluationairy IMac computer for home and office use.  Along the way, we not only learn about the various ups-and-downs of the Apple/Mac brand as overseen by Jobs but much of his personal drama as well, especially his tumultuous relationship with his daughter Lisa.  This Oscar nominated drama was directed by Boyle and featured a stellar cast including Kate Winslet, Michael Stuhlbarg, Jeff Daniels, and Seth Rogen.Host & Editor: Geoff GershonProducer: Marlene GershonSend us a texthttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/

But there is a dispute within Cyprus about what makes true Halloumi cheese. Should it be made from cow's milk which has a mellower taste? Or should it be made from goat and ewe milk, as traditionalists argue? 但是，塞浦路斯在《真正的Halloumi奶酪》中存在争议。 应该由牛奶制成，牛奶的牛奶味道含有米洛牛奶的味道？ 还是正如传统主义者所说，应该由山羊和母乳制成？ Panteli started making Halloumi with guidance from a family member. "It was all trial and error with a small pot, then a bigger pot - and just like Steve Jobs - in our garage," he said. 潘特利（Panteli）在家庭成员的指导下开始制作哈洛米（Halloumi）。 他说：“这是一个小锅，然后是一个更大的锅 - 就像史蒂夫·乔布斯（Steve Jobs）一样 - 在我们的车库里。” He uses ewe's milk to make his Halloumi. He cooks the milk in rennet which thickens the liquid to a solid form called a curdle. After resting, curdles are cut and reheated. Panteli adds salt and puts them in a solution called brine for a few hours. Then, they are done and he prepares for market. 他用母羊的牛奶制作了他的Halloumi。 他将牛奶煮在肾脏中，将液体变稠为固体形式，称为凝乳。 休息后，凝乳被切割并重新加热。 潘特利（Panteli）添加盐，并将其放入称为盐水的溶液中几个小时。 然后，他们完成了，他为市场做准备。 Panteli only has a permit to sell directly to consumers. And he is limited to producing 150 liters of milk a day.Panteli只有直接向消费者出售的许可证。 而且他仅限于每天生产150升牛奶。 But his product is popular. He makes videos on TikTok and the social media service X to let people know where to find him. He usually sells all his cheese within two hours of opening sales. 但是他的产品很受欢迎。 他在Tiktok和社交媒体服务X上制作视频，以便让人们知道在哪里可以找到他。 他通常在开放销售后的两个小时内出售所有奶酪。"Nobody is making the real thing anymore, and that is our aim," Panteli said. He spoke to the Reuters news agency while standing near about 300 noisy sheep at his farm west of Nicosia. 潘特利说：“没有人再做真实的事情，这就是我们的目标。” 他在他的尼科西亚（Nicosia）西部的农场附近站着约300只嘈杂的绵羊，与路透社通讯社进行了交谈。 But some farmers on the Mediterranean island say that Panteli's method is not workable for all. 但是地中海岛上的一些农民说，潘特利的方法对所有人都不可行。 Nicos Papakyriakou is head of the organization that represents cow farmers. He said that based on an older 1985 trade agreement, Halloumi cheese is made out of not only goat and ewes' milk but cows' milk as well. Nicos Papakyriakou是代表牛农的组织负责人。 他说，基于1985年的一项较旧的贸易协定，Halloumi奶酪不仅是由山羊和母羊的“牛奶，而且还由母牛”牛奶制成。He says the mellow taste of cows' milk has permitted Halloumi to capture overseas markets. "The PDO says it should smell like a farm," he said. He questioned if people would buy it if it smelled “like goats!” 他说，奶牛牛奶的柔和味道使Halloumi捕获了海外市场。 他说：“ PDO说应该闻起来像个农场。” 他询问人们是否闻起来“像山羊！”是否会购买它。

"To read Jeff Bezos's shareholder letters is to get a crash course in running a high-growth internet business from someone who mastered it before any of the playbooks were written." That is the best description of Bezos's letters I have ever read. I just finished rereading these letters for the 4th or 5th time. With clear thinking and ferocious intelligence, Bezos provides a masterclass in building a customer-obsessed, enduring franchise. With relentless repetition Bezos teaches us about the importance of invention, risk-taking, wandering, differentiation, technology, judgement, high-standards, customer obsession, long-term orientation, and why value trumps everything. Read the letters on Amazon's website here.Or in the book Invent and Wander: The Collected Writings of Jeff BezosRegister for the live event in New York at Ramp! Ramp gives you everything you need to control spend, watch your costs, and optimize your financial operations —all on a single platform. Make history's greatest entrepreneurs proud by going to Ramp and learning how they can help your business control your costs and save time and money.Join my free email newsletter to get my top 10 highlights from every book( 15:00 ) Setting the bar high in our approach to hiring has been, and will continue to be, the single most important element of Amazon success. It's not easy to work here but we are working to build something important, something that matters to our customers, something that we can all tell our grandchildren about. Such things aren't meant to be easy.( 24:00 ) We believe we have reached a "tipping point," where this platform allows us to launch new ecommerce businesses faster, with a higher quality of customer experience, a lower incremental cost, a higher chance of success, and a faster path to scale and profitability than any other company.( 27:00 ) We will continue to invest heavily in introductions to new customers. Though it's sometimes hard to imagine with all that has happened in the last five years, this remains Day 1 for ecommerce, and these are the early days of category formation where many customers are forming relationships for the first time. We must work hard to grow the number of customers who shop with us.( 37:00 ) Focus on cost improvement makes it possible for us to afford to lower prices, which drives growth. Growth spreads fixed costs across more sales, reducing cost per unit, which makes possible more price reductions. Customers like this, and it's good for shareholders. Please expect us to repeat this loop.( 47:00 ) Our quantitative understanding of elasticity is short-term. We can estimate what a price reduction will do this week and this quarter. But we cannot numerically estimate the effect that consistently lowering prices will have on our business over five years or ten years or more. Our judgment is that relentlessly returning efficiency improvements and scale economies to customers in the form of lower prices creates a virtuous cycle that leads over the long term to a much larger dollar amount of free cash flow, and thereby to a much more valuable Amazon.( 55:00 ) Our fundamental approach remains the same. Stay heads down, focused on the long term and obsessed over customers. Long-term thinking levers our existing abilities and lets us do new things we couldn't otherwise contemplate. Seek instant gratification and chances are you'll find a crowd there ahead of you. ( 56:00 ) Long-term orientation interacts well with customer obsession. If we can identify a customer need and if we can further develop conviction that that need is meaningful and durable, our approach permits us to work patiently for multiple years to deliver a solution.( 59:00 ) Invention is in our DNA and technology is the fundamental tool we wield to evolve and improve every aspect of the experience we provide our customers.( 1:00:00 ) A dreamy business offering has at least four characteristics. Customers love it, it can grow to very large size, it has strong returns on capital, and it's durable in time-with the potential to endure for decades. When you find one of these get married.( 1:02:00 ) We all know that if you swing for the fences, you're going to strike out a lot, but you're also going to hit some home runs. The difference between baseball and business, however, is that baseball has a truncated outcome distribution. When you swing, no matter how well you connect with the ball, the most runs you can get is four. In business, every once in a while, when you step up to the plate, you can score one thousand runs. This long-tailed distribution of returns is why it's important to be bold. Big winners pay for so many experiments.( 1:10:00) When a memo isn't great, it's not the writer's inability to recognize the high standard, but instead a wrong expectation on scope: they mistakenly believe a high standards, six-page memo can be written in one or two days or even a few hours, when really it might take a week or more! They're trying to perfect a handstand in just two weeks, and we're not coaching them right. The great memos are written and re-written, shared with colleagues who are asked to improve the work, set aside for a couple of days, and then edited again with a fresh mind. They simply can't be done in a day or two. The key point here is that you can improve results through the simple act of teaching scope-that a great memo probably should take a week or more.( 1:12:00 ) Sometimes (often actually) in business, you do know where you're going, and when you do, you can be efficient. Put in place a plan and execute. In contrast, wandering in business is not efficient-but it's also not random. It's guided-by hunch, gut, intuition, curiosity, and powered by a deep conviction that the prize for customers is big enough that it's worth being a little messy and tangential to find our way there. Wandering is an essential counterbalance to efficiency. You need to employ both. The outsized discoveries-the "nonlinear" ones-are highly likely to require wandering. ----Founders Notes gives you the ability to tap into the collective knowledge of history's greatest entrepreneurs on demand.

Apple in China: The Capture of the World's Greatest Company by Patrick McGee Amazon.com For readers of Walter Isaacson's Steve Jobs and Chris Miller's Chip War, a riveting look at how Apple helped build China's dominance in electronics assembly and manufacturing only to find itself trapped in a relationship with an authoritarian state making ever-increasing demands. After struggling to build its products on three continents, Apple was lured by China's seemingly inexhaustible supply of cheap labor. Soon it was sending thousands of engineers across the Pacific, training millions of workers, and spending hundreds of billions of dollars to create the world's most sophisticated supply chain. These capabilities enabled Apple to build the 21st century's most iconic products—in staggering volume and for enormous profit. Without explicitly intending to, Apple built an advanced electronics industry within China, only to discover that its massive investments in technology upgrades had inadvertently given Beijing a power that could be weaponized. In Apple in China, journalist Patrick McGee draws on more than two hundred interviews with former executives and engineers, supplementing their stories with unreported meetings held by Steve Jobs, emails between top executives, and internal memos regarding threats from Chinese competition. The book highlights the unknown characters who were instrumental in Apple's ascent and who tried to forge a different path, including the Mormon missionary who established the Apple Store in China; the “Gang of Eight” executives tasked with placating Beijing; and an idealistic veteran whose hopes of improving the lives of factory workers were crushed by both Cupertino's operational demands and Xi Jinping's war on civil society. Apple in China is the sometimes disturbing and always revelatory story of how an outspoken, proud company that once praised “rebels” and “troublemakers”—the company that encouraged us all to “Think Different”—devolved into passively cooperating with a belligerent regime that increasingly controls its fate. About the author Patrick McGee led Apple coverage at the Financial Times from 2019 to 2023 and won a San Francisco Press Club Award for his coverage of the company. He joined the newspaper in 2013, in Hong Kong, before reporting from Germany and California. His reporting in the last decade has centered on upheavals in technology, including autonomous cars, electric vehicles, and major developments in the supply chain. Previously, he was a bond reporter at the Wall Street Journal. He received a Master's in Global Diplomacy from SOAS, University of London, where his thesis focused on the US military budget and competition with China. He has also a degree in Religious Studies from the University of Toronto. Originally from Calgary, Canada, he and his family make their home in the Bay Area. Patrick is a keen runner, reader of history, and traveller.

In this episode, Bart welcomes two members of The Humphrey Group to talk about the rise of storytelling as a leadership imperative and why great stories exist inside you.  Patricio opens the conversation by sharing why storytelling has become an increasingly critical skill for leaders in this day and age. A trend that the rise of AI has only accelerated. Athulya builds on this by explaining why storytelling has always been something that is more memorable and impactful than just sharing information and data. Together, they introduce the STORY framework, a new tool developed by THG at the heart of The Power of Stories program, and break down how both Star Wars and real-life business stories can follow the same powerful structure. They show how even those who feel like they don't have stories can tap into meaningful experiences and turn them into powerful narratives.   Whether you're a seasoned executive or just starting your leadership journey, this episode will make you a more effective and confident storyteller no matter what role you hold or what industry you are in.  Learn more about The Power of Stories program here: https://www.thehumphreygroup.com/storytelling-for-leaders Show Notes 1:17 Welcoming guests to the show 3:10 When did you first realize how important storytelling was? 7:23 Why stories are powerful 7:27 Our brains are wired for stories  7:42 The research behind it 8:47 Why is storytelling more relevant now than ever before 9:03 Social media has changed the way we connect 9:32 15% of social media posts — influenced by AI 10:07 When you tell a story, you connect 11:00 Building trust as a leader 11:21 Showing vulnerability 12:07 Stories stick 12:27 People remember stories, not data 15:16 A framework for building storytelling skills 15:45 A lot of stories SUCK! 16:38 S: Situation 16:58 T: Tension 17:21 O: Opportunity 18:07 R: Result 18:23 Y: Your Learning 18:43 Take a movie plot and break it down 21:37 Business story 22:06 The Steve Jobs story 25:19 An executive says, "I have no stories" 26:20 Is it appropriate to share stories? 27:39 Stories you probably shouldn't be telling 28:40 How to find your stories? 28:41 You don't have to have gone through James Bond scenarios to have good stories 31:07 The 'why' determines whether a story is useful or not 31:25 Tips for finding your own stories 32:32 The four plots that every leader needs 32:51 The hero's journey plot 32:59 Overcoming obstacles plot 33:08 Discovery plot 33:20 The rise and fall and rise again plot 34:09 Doesn't working at your stories kill the authenticity? 34:31 Making sure you're present in the moment 34:48 Do you practice stories?  39:45 How telling a personal story created connection  41:36 Thank yous

En el año 1995, Steve Jobs fue despedido de Apple, la empresa que él mismo había fundado. Para muchos fue una tragedia, un punto final. Sin embargo, él mismo declaró que ese despido fue “la mejor cosa que le pudo haber pasado”. Fue entonces cuando fundó Pixar y NeXT, dos proyectos que no solo marcaron su regreso triunfal, sino que también revolucionaron la tecnología y el cine. De manera similar, en la Biblia, Pedro negó a Jesús, pero fue restaurado para liderar la iglesia. Moisés huyó tras cometer un error, pero Dios lo usó para liberar a Su pueblo. José fue vendido como esclavo antes de convertirse en gobernador de Egipto. Por lo tanto, no todo fracaso es final. En las manos de Dios, incluso nuestros tropiezos se convierten en parte del camino. Él redime, restaura y reorienta. De modo que, si hoy sientes que fracasaste, no te detengas allí. Entrégaselo a Dios y confía en que Él aún puede hacer algo glorioso con tu historia. La Biblia dice en Isaías 61:3: “A ordenar que a los afligidos de Sion se les dé gloria en lugar de ceniza...” (RV1960).

One of the compliments I receive most often in my work is something along the lines of:“You ask such great questions.”This probably comes after I ask someone some questions that I'm curious about. You get better at asking questions when you begin seeing them as a tool to have better and more valuable conversations. Questions set the frame of the discussion, and so leading someone is often about questions rather than making statements. Questions can be used for a variety of different purposes. Today I wanted to outline 5-levels of value oriented by particular questions that people ask of me and ask themselves. If you want to create/expand value, ask questions higher up the ladder.The Value Ladder: 5-Levels of Questions for Leaders1. “What do I do?”When you are working in a new role you've never been in before, you get tripped up on the question “What do I do next?” When you don't know what to do, you don't act. And so you wait or search for someone or something that can tell you what to do. Most often, this is a way of procrastination. You can't act until you clearly see a specific, short-term step and action you can take. What do I do is the lowest leverage and least valuable question to ask of yourself or others. But it is often the place we start.2. “How do I do it?”Many people take similar actions, but not all get the same results. Why? When you don't understand the “why” behind how something works, you lack proper form. Form is “how” you do something. “How” is a question about form. How helps get you to feel/experience the action rather than intellectually understanding it. How is for practitioners seeking to learn how to apply something they've learned. How is for doers… in an organization, team, community, or political structure. “How” is, relatively low value. Often, to succeed with how, you sell something at lower price points and therefore must have a large audience.This is why “how” is the most prevalent form of content on Youtube, for example. “How” is also the easiest question to waste your time on. “How” is a great game of telephone. You read someone else's “how” and translate it poorly to your own situation and then get frustrated by not getting the right results.3. “Who?”When you wake up to the limits of your own “doing” you begin to see the benefit of collaboration, hiring, delegation and managing and leading a team.Who is the first leadership question outside of self-leadership. Who is the shift from Founder-Doer to CEO-Manager, from actor to recruiter. Who marks the beginning of systems-level questions. Before you get to “who” you focus on your input into the system.When CEO's come to me with struggles for their personal productivity, I often take them out of “how” questions and into “who” questions. I'm less interested in them and more in the teams and systems that support them.4. “Where should we go?”Systems need direction. “Where?” charts the course. “Where” is about the future, whereas the previous questions are more about the present. Where questions are about owning the responsibility of taking people into the unkown. If organizations don't know where they are going, then everyone is working out of sync and unison. Where is one of the greatest possible filter questions because it completely changes the course of a company or team. Change the where, change everything. A where question for Kodak Cameras was: “Double down on Film, or Enter the Digital Camera Space?” A question for NASA is: “Moon or Mars next?” As you can see, asking “Where” is risky. This is why “Where” is the CEO's question. With “Where?” there are consequences, or regret. Aligns a system to a destination, puts resources on the line, and creates definitive direction.The trick of understanding organizations, communities, and political parties is that they crave direction. They ask, “Where are we going…together?”5. “What does it mean?”The final level of value is in meaning questions. When you're so distracted by the doing of things, you try to ignore lives deeper questions around meaning or meaninglessness.The good news is that we are meaning-making machines. Meaning making is about how we interpret the events around us, and how we contextualize every other question listed above. The highest levels are about context.In meaning questions, you are playing with the container, not the contained. You start playing with the rules, the stadium, the field, not the game or players on the field. You start working on the museum rather than the art sitting in it. Meaning is about creating context, and context is how we come to understand ourselves and the world. Context creators, meaning makers are storytellers. This is why Steve Jobs didn't say, “The most powerful person in the world is the doer, the creator.” He said,“The most powerful person in the world is the storyteller.”Stories write and create invisible scripts and lines of action. Leaders working at this deeper level are playing a more invisible game of power and creation that comes from generating systems without being stuck inside of them. These leaders allow, encourage, and generate the success of others without being seen or heard.“A leader is best when people barely know he exists, when his work is done, his aim fulfilled, they will say: we did it ourselves.” Lao TzuThese inventors challenge our current frame of reality. They see outside of the container. If Tom's Shoes invents “Buy one pair of shoes, donate one pair of shoes” as a way of making our consumption, and then other companies follow suit, eventually forgetting the original creator of such an idea or protocol.

In the latest episode of The Perceptive Photographer, I found myself thinking about Steve Jobs. You know that classic moment in his presentations when he'd pause, turn back, and say, “Oh, just one more thing…”? It was his signature move—something small that ended up being hugely impactful. And it got me thinking about photography. That idea—just one more thing—has stuck with me. It's become a way to look and critique my own work, and in this week's podcast, I dig into how paying attention to one more detail, one more adjustment, one more question can fundamentally shift the power and clarity of a photograph. That “one more thing” doesn't always mean doing more. Sometimes it's about refining. Sometimes it's about taking something away.

Dos equipos.Mismo proyecto.Mismo presupuesto.Misma fecha límite. Uno alcanza el éxito. El otro se va al garete.Y no, no es por magia, ni por tener al típico líder carismático al estilo Steve Jobs.

Leslie Grandy always wanted to be 'creative', but after discovering that she 'sucked' as a child at piano, painting, drama, dancing and so on she decided (to the relief of her teachers) that it simply wasn't for her.  Until she realized, in her corporate career working with visionary leaders like Steve Jobs, that creativity can also be defined as 'the ability to solve problems in novel ways'. And now she helps organizations - from major brands like Starbucks to early-stage ventures - navigate the challenges of innovation. Creativity, it turns out, is not an inbuilt talent reserved for the select few, but a practical skill that anyone can develop with the right mindset and tools. And that's exactly what she provides in her book Creative Velocity: simple, everyday techniques for building creative confidence. She also tackles the role of generative AI, inviting us to see it as a partner that can expand our creative thinking, provided we bring structure and discernment to the process. Leslie also discovered she could have filled a book with what she didn't know about publishing a book, and shares her insights from that journey too.  Funny, inspiring, practical, unmissable.

Steve Jobs was a visionary entrepreneur, creative genius, and cultural icon who revolutionized technology, design, and the way we experience the world. On this episode of The Axel Schura Show, we take a look at his legendary speech in front of Stanford University graduates to decode what it really means to live a fulfilled life. Jobs shares his insights as one of the most influential people in the history of mankind on how he found what he loved and how you can do so, too.

Have you ever heard an inner voice whispering you were a lion and meant for something greater? If you're not where you want to be in life, then it's time for a change; you need to tap into your hidden lion's roar—your self-love, confidence, and talents. On our latest episode of Love University, we explored the instant of awakening—that split-second when you suddenly realize the life you're living is too small for you—you're not fulfilling your true potential. Our story begins with a lion cub who is raised among sheep. Just like other sheep, he grazed, was startled at shadows, and obediently followed the flock—until one day a stream mirrored back amber-gold eyes and the first hint of a mane. A roar he had never heard before burst from his throat, and in that moment he realized he wasn't a sheep, but a powerful lion, the King of the Jungle. How about you? Perhaps, you have experienced a similar jolt of understanding: a stubborn dream that won't stay quiet, a Sunday night restlessness, a flash of unfulfilled desire when you see someone succeed by thinking big. You hear a faint roar of power and need, and you ask yourself, “Is it coming from outside, from somewhere else, or is it inside me?” Yes, it is inside you.    Following your roar, your inner authentic power, means tapping into your immortal capital—the reservoir of talent, curiosity, resilience, and intuition lying unused in your mental vault. Chances are, you have let this fortune sit idle, convinced you need outside permission, more resources or credentials. In your own life,  think about the novel still unwritten, the venture unlaunched, the kindness unsaid—each one representing a stack of coins unused; greatness unfulfilled. In reality, your mental vault is unlocked. You can access your inner potential—all you have to do is step inside and gather your treasure—gifts, talents, and wisdom.   Consider how Oprah Winfrey lost her first high-profile news role, and Steve Jobs, was ousted from Apple, yet both of them turned rejection into reinvention because they interpreted restlessness as a call, not a curse. If you feel a similar tension, take it as proof that you're being summoned to evolve and accomplish something meaningful and powerful with your life. Turning that calling into momentum requires the following steps: Catch the voice. Notice moments when you feel vividly alive or painfully confined—decide to increase the moments of empowerment and decrease those activities that leave you feeling tired, down, or frustrated. Withdraw a coin of immortal capital within 24 hours. Do something that fills your soul: Sketch, pitch, rehearse, research, help, share, communicate, exercise, pray, or meditate.  Always remember that even small actions remove doubt and increase your resilience and inner power. Treat temporary discomfort as a guide, not something to avoid.  There will be some “growing pains” when you heed your inner roar—when you start that new relationship or job; travel or make a lifestyle change; expand your horizons. But the momentary discomfort is like when you first lift weights—the sensation of soreness means your muscles are growing and you are getting stronger. In the same way, stretching out of your comfort zone will eventually bring you to the place of lionhood—self-mastery and confidence. Here's the truth: Once a lion or lioness discovers their roar, grazing quietly like a timid sheep will never satisfy them again. Your roar is both a warning and a promise. It is a warning that you can no longer live like a sheep; you must claim your true power, and you can—that is the promise. It's your time now, let your lion roar and you will transform yourself and the world.

Jim Simons never took a single class on finance, wasn't interested in business, and didn't start trading full time until he was 40. The company he founded —  Renaissance Technologies — has made over $100 billion in profits.Starting out with the heretical belief that there was a hidden structure in financial markets, Jim decided to staff his “crazy hedge fund” with mathematicians, computer scientists, and physicists. He went to great lengths to collect more historic financial data than anyone else, spent a lot of time recruiting “killers” (people with single minded focus that wouldn't quit), invested heavily in computers (and the people who ran them), and designed the most collaborative work environment.Jim was a world-class mathematician, code breaker, exceptional manager of people with exceptional minds, a genius in system design, and deeply understood the power of incentives. He was also incapable of giving up, willing to endure a decade of struggle and pain, and hell-bent on doing something “historic” with his life.Jim Simons lived a life defined by persistence, unconventional thinking, and an unwavering pursuit of excellence. Studying his life and work is time well spent. This episode is what I learned from rereading The Man Who Solved the Market: How Jim Simons Launched the Quant Revolution by Gregory Zuckerman. ----Ramp gives you everything you need to control spend, watch your costs, and optimize your financial operations —all on a single platform.

Michael Dell and Shaquille O'Neal planned their work and worked their plans.Dell understood the formulas, and followed the rules, of efficiency.O'Neal understood the formulas and followed the rules of basketball.Each of them faithfully followed a Structural plan.Michael Dell invented nothing, improvised nothing, and innovated only once. But that single innovation made him a billionaire. Dell's innovation was to bring tested, reliable, proven methods of cost-cutting to the manufacturing and distribution of computers. When all his competitors were selling through retailers, Dell sold direct to consumer. This made his costs lower and his profits higher.Michael Dell's strengths are discipline, professionalism, and Structural thinking.Likewise, Shaq says, “I didn't invent basketball, but I am really good at executing the plays.” Discipline, professionalism, and Structural thinking made Shaq an extraordinary basketball player. These same characteristics also made him an amazing operator of fast-food franchises.“The most Shaq ever made playing in the NBA was $29.5 million per year. Now, it's estimated that the big man is bringing in roughly $60 million per year, much of which is coming from his portfolio of fast-food businesses around the U.S.”– 24/7wallst.comShaq didn't invent car washes or Five Guys Burgers and Fries, but he owns more than 150 of each.Michael Dell and Shaquille O'Neal are masters of Structural planning and thinking.Structural thinking relies on proven elements and best practices. “Gather the best pieces and processes and connect them together like LEGO blocks. What could possibly go wrong?”Structural planning and thinking:Invent, Improvise, Innovate?“NO, because those things are untested. We want to avoid mistakes.”Reliable, Tested, Proven?“YES!”Steve Jobs and Michael Jordon are masters of Gestalt planning and thinking.Gestalt planning and thinking:Invent, Improvise, Innovate?“YES!“Reliable, Tested, Proven?“NO, because those things are predictable. We want to be different.“The fundamental idea of Gestalt thinking is that the behavior of the whole is not determined by its individual elements; but rather that the behavior of the individual elements are determined by the intrinsic nature of the whole.It is the goal of Gestalt thinking to determine the nature of the whole, the finished product.Gestalt thinkers who can fund their experiments and survive their mistakes often become paradigm shifters and world-changers.Steve Jobs got off to a slow start because he refused to use MS-DOS, the operating system that everyone else was using. But he was sensitive to the needs and hungers of the marketplace. When Steve Jobs had a crystal-clear vision of the things that people would purchase if those things existed, he brought those things into existence.Structural thinkers rely on planning and execution. Gestalt thinkers rely on poise and flexibility, often deciding on small details at the last split-second. Ask a Gestalt thinker why they do this and most of them will tell you, “I decide at the last minute because that is when I have the most information.”The reason you never knew what Michael Jordan was going to do is because Michael Jordan had not yet decided. Michael's internal vision was simple and clear: “Put the basketball through the hoop.” With the clarity of that crystal vision shining brightly in his mind, Michael could figure out everything else along the way.Gestalt thinkers like Steve Jobs and Michael

"Think Different". That was the iconic tagline popularized by legendary Apple Founder, Steve Jobs. Autistic children have significant challenges – at work and at home. No doubt about it. But they also have a competitive advantage in the world of innovative leadership - they think different. Which begs the question – can autistic children develop into innovative leaders – in society and in business?To help us answer this question, we talk today with Dr. Trenna Sutcliffe. She created the world-renowned Sutcliffe Clinic, that is like a mini-Mayo Clinic, taking a holistic and multi-disciplinary approach to helping neurodiverse children reach their full potential and lead happier, more productive lives.Join – The Leadership Mindset Challenge

On the anniversary of Jennifer's mom's passing, Linda stopped by for a chat about the process. That is - 'How do people offstage reach out to people onstage with coincidence or bits and pieces of memory, so we know they still exist?" In this case, she reminded Jennifer of a dream that she had where she'd seen her parents line dancing - the memory of seeing them doing that cowboy style.  That came out of a conversation about how my wife was aware of being visited by someone who popped the lyrics of John Denver's song into her mind - to not only remind her that he's visited her before, but that the lyrics have a special meaning to him. So Sherry went onto this person's web page, and indeed, back in 2012 they'd posted the lyrics to the song as it held some kind of special resonance to them. So the question is - how do you do that? This led to a discussion of how I'd done a guided meditation with a woman (it wasn't asked for, it was a demonstration) where she had all kinds of mind bending people come through, but at the end of her session I casually asked where in Manhattan she was living - and it turned out to bein the same building I lived in for a year back when I was producing pieces for the Charles Grodin show on CNBC. So the question went to Luana - "is that a coincidence, or is it something else?"  And that led to a discussion of how time works on the flipside - that people who are offstage often report that it feels like "time doesn't exist" - and a discussion of how Dr. Greyson notes in his NDE research that even those who experience that feeling do so sequentially.  That is - time does exist when meeting someone first, then the next person, then having another event occur. As noted, people like Jennifer, who is open to conversing with people offstage, can have a better view of the likely outcomes since so many are aware of what she's doing. However, that doesn't mean that people will learn something that will prevent their plan of learning that experience during this lifetime - or it won't alter someone else's path that is going to involved as well. As usual, mind bending stuff. Then Steve Jobs stopped by.  fans of our work know that he's been stopping by since Jennifer and I first met - and subsequently one of his family members has worked with Jennifer, so she's had enough conversations with him so I can kind of "skip down" or ask questions not about him, but about other people. In this case, I asked about people in the tech world who are convinced that consciousness is confined to the brain (someone like Bill Gates or someone like Elon Musk whose focus and aim includes a belief that consciousness is confined to the brain and the "known universe." Jennifer reminded us that the previous week Stephen Hawking had said that he "wished he had been aware of how consciousness worked" while he was still on the planet.. that he could have been able to bypass the filters on his brain and access other dimensions, or previous lifetimes. He's been showing up in our work since he passed - and the transcripts of those chats are in the books BACKSTAGE PASS TO THE FLIPSIDE and also on our podcast by searching for "Stephen Hawking" on the podcast. He also stopped by during a multiple person conversation - I'd invited four scientists, Sagan, Tesla, Einstein and Hawking - all who are available now on the flipside, and can answer questions about "who greeted them when they crossed over" and "what they've learned since being offstage." Interesting enough, Steve had advice for Bill Gates (other than saying "he's been through enough difficulties") - but advised that he'd have to "believe that we could talk to Steve" before he could "hear any advice."  As to Elon - about how he might change his attitude about empathy being a hindrance to civilization (as opposed to it's dependence upon it) - he suggested "playing a sport" - and specifically which one, it was "car racing" - as he'll learn he has to depend on others to succeed.  (Interesting idea).  First and foremost he said "He needs to take up a sport - not buy a team - but to participate in a sport." It's not opinion, theory or belief that people can access loved ones offstage - it's what I've been filming people doing for over fifteen years (FLIPSIDE, TALKING TO BILL PAXTON and HACKING THE AFTERLIFE are on amazon prime or gaia) and ten years with Jennifer every week - where we ask the same questions to people offstage, and sometimes I'll have other mediums ask them identical questions. (Hawking was interviewed by Dr. Medhus on her program and said the same basic things, in the film TALKING TO BILL PAXTON I had three mediums ask him the same questions - and all of them reported identical answers. The point being - there may be some other worldly explanation how a medium can answer the same questions when I'm not in the room and someone else is asking those questions (a blind study) but I'm not aware of how. Again - Jennifer works with law enforcement agents nationwide on a number of cases. A third of her day is pro bono work.  You can find her at JenniferShaffer.com and also at "Uncorked" events in Manhattan Beach. You can find me at RichardMartini.com - or send an email to MartiniProds at gmail.com to book a session where we talk to loved ones offstage. I asked Luana if the Pope wanted to come forward, both Jennifer and I held our breath - until she said "two meetings in the future."  (We'll see if he's up for it then).  Since it was Earth day we spoke a little bit with folks offstage about how we can change the planet. Thanks for tuning in!

Apple's licensing approach (ca. 1994-1997) is a bad idea. Original text by Steven Levy, Macworld January 1995. Andy Bechtolscheim quote about SPARC licensing and Macintosh clones: “Sun had a unified business… it wasn't really selling separate software. … that whole notion of defining success [as] ‘other people adopt your thing'… Apple was criticized for being a closed system, then they licensed SuperMac … to build clones …. and the first thing Steve Jobs did when he came back to Apple was he killed all the clones, right? ‘cause if you cannot build a better system yourself, you don't need the clones for sure, right?” Transcript. Guerrino de Luca's time with Apple goes back to at least 1992 (appearance at 1m52s), included a stint at Claris, and ended shortly after Steve Jobs returned in 1997. Guerrino's last appearance with Apple. Don't worry; he did fine for himself–he went to Logitech and was its president and CEO until 2008. Guerrino bookending Apple's System 7.5 promo video. Given Apple's tendency to undergo frequent reorgs throughout the '90s, Don Strickland did not last as head of licensing operations. Unfortunately Don passed away in 2022 though his website is still up. Compaq was a much more creative and technically significant company in its early days before it was forced to produce bargain basement PCs. Rod Canion's excellent and highly entertaining (for nerds) book “Open” recounts the story. Power Computing only made it halfway to its goal of selling 100,000 Macs in its first year.

Akio Morita was a visionary entrepreneur and co-founder of Sony. Born as the first son and fifteenth-generation heir to a 300-year-old sake-brewing family in Japan, Akio eschewed the traditional path to forge his own legacy in electronics.In post-war Japan, Akio joined forces with Masaru Ibuka to found Sony. They started in a burned-out department store with limited resources—to build their first product they had to buy supplies on the black market. Akio was determined to change the global perception of Japanese goods as poor quality. From day one he set out to build high-quality, differentiated products, targeted at affluent markets. Akio believed in long-term vision over short-term profits, product innovation without market research, and brand building over immediate profits. Against all opposition, including inside of his own company, Akio invented one of the most successful consumer products of all time: The Walkman. It sold over 400 million units and inspired countless other entrepreneurs like Steve Jobs, Jeff Bezos, James Dyson, and Phil Knight. This episode is what I learned from rereading Akio's classic 1986 autobiography Made In Japan. ----Ramp gives you everything you need to control spend, watch your costs, and optimize your financial operations —all on a single platform.

This is one of the most extraordinary founder stories you will ever hear. Michael Dell started his company with $1000 when he was 19 years old. The revenues for the first 16 years of Dell look like this:1984 $6M1985 $33M1986 $67M1987 $159M1988 $258M1989 $388M1990 $546M1991 $890M1992 $2B1993 $2.9B1994 $3.5B1995 $5.3B1996 $7.8B1997 $12.3B1998 $18.2B1999 $25.3BDell had been profitable for every quarter of its existence. By 2012 the story had changed. The consensus was that Dell was dead. Michael Dell certainly didn't think so — and besides—he was incapable of giving up on the company that bears his name. As he said at the time "I will care about this company after I'm dead!"  Michael takes his company private, completes the largest acquisition in technology history, and remerges perfectly positioned for the age of AI. Michael Dell has been working on his company for over 40 years and it feels like he's just getting started. In his autobiography he shares the most important lessons he's learned. It's a treasure trove for entrepreneurs and leaders. This episode is what I learned from reading Play Nice But Win: A CEO's Journey From Founder to Leader by Michael Dell and Direct From Dell: Strategies That Revolutionized an Industry by Michael Dell. ----Ramp gives you everything you need to control spend, watch your costs, and optimize your financial operations —all on a single platform.
