But engineering is different to building products that sell and having business vision and knowing what choices to make and most importantly what choices to not make. There are plenty of fake leaders but when one really knows what they are doing it is more valuable than someone with only technical skills. Also it isnt an either or fallacy.. lots of engineers also are awesome businessmen who have the vision too. But some are not.

Woz is such a great person, couple of years ago he gave the main speech at my engineering graduation ceremony. He spoke about the importance of taking risks, be creative and not be afraid to build something big. All my friends moved to 'stable' jobs after graduation, I on the other spent the next 10 months build a SaaS platform from scratch with barely any experience, zero funding and an army of friends,relatives and family members fighting against me to 'get back to my senses' and get a 'real job'. Such an inspirational man, a highly respected engineer! I wish they would emphasize more about the fact that without him there would be no Apple, I mean sales and marketing is great but without the hardcore computer system he built from scratch there would be no company.

[@Numantino312]

your platform could be as successful as apple itself, or it could flop. working on that right after college IS the sensible thing to do. even if it did flop, it's a live portfolio item you can use to show off your talents. working on it further GREW your talents and probably gave you more ideas. and really, doing that for a year after graduation makes a lot more sense than trying to do the same halfway thru a mid-life crisis with piles of bills + family life shot to hell cos you're so miserable.

[@chaccmi1358]

@@Numantino312 yes indeed. While it didn't make me good income, it did help me land my future roles and differentiate my resume.

Can't believe I only just found this - what a great human being.

[@xandercorp6175]

Having someone in your life who gets as excited as you do about that little yellow dot is one of the great things in life.

[@acoustic61]

Woz did much more than I ever thought! What a genius!

[@dailydose273]

Steve Jobs was soo lucky to have such a naive nerdy capable loyal friend.

[@pinnacleproductions6275]

Another excellent presentation/interview from Patrick. Steve is an awesome guy.

[@yahayasalihu4786]

Steve Wazniak is gem, unheard gem.

[@philoseal5626]

Amazing intro! Patrick is taking it to a new level. Love it.

[@ClassyWolf]

That interview of you with Steve Wozniak from back from 2010 is so eye opening. How some young dreamers with no money and a garage with engineering capabilities revolutionised the world together. Its so insanely mind blowing when Steve describes the night OCD worked himself into a dreaming state and how he experienced his eureka moment: inventing how to put colored pixels on PC screens with zeros and ones. What a fucking madman!!!!!

[@rolandofunes6492]

Totally agree with that really blow my mind

[@pasqualerossi6052]

What Steve Wozniak said at 34:15 about entrepreneurship in colleges is absolutely right.

[@stephenpaek9175]

Mr. Wozniak, I had a pirated Apple 2 in the early 80’s in Asia. You are truly one of the giants that built Silicon Valley. Thank you for this precious gem of an interview, Patrick Bet David.

[@Iam.Miriamrivera1959]

Hi Patrick, I've seen a few of Steve Wozniak interviews, he seemed very comfortable and at ease with you and the audience. That is very important. By the way, did he ever get a PHP jacket as he mentioned at the end of the interview?

[@Huxtee7]

The real workhorse behind Apple Steve wouldnt be half of what he is without this man.

[@peggyfranzen6159]

He wasn't mad, honest.

[@myradeleon8618]

He speaks from the heart! What true passion looks like ✊

[@lannyhoover1625]

That was an incredible interview! Thank you!! I know Mike Markkula personally.

[@WittnerMusic]

I was at HP in the mid 70's, about the time Steve left. I remember someone giving me one of his business cards. It was hilarious; he was a tireless prankster. Had it for years and lost it. Wish I still had it.

[@YEDxYED]

DebWittner aww, it’s fine though, as an early employee you would’ve had a lot of money but working at hp at that time meant you were pretty good, so not many regrets

[@oldtwinsna8347]

Wow, certainly would've been worth some good $$ on ebay if you still had it.

[@tomasooie]

@@oldtwinsna8347 She's not speaking about its monetary value. That shouldn't be the focus. It's a memento of a brilliantly unique person.

[@oldtwinsna8347]

@@tomasooie Who are you to say monetary value isn't the focus?

[@tomasooie]

@@oldtwinsna8347 If the first thing you think of when someone's relating a personal story-concerning a humorous business card that illustrates Wozniak's merry-prankster personality-is how much it'd sell for on eBay, you have missed the point entirely.

Wozniak - what a gem

[@brianbelton3605]

I love the music festivals! Thank you Woz & Steve

[@12artman]

Woz describes Jobs as a Walt Disney type personality. Walt was not the best animator or artist but he knew how to get the best out of those who were. He set up a productive environment and, maybe most importantly, he knew how to tell stories in a way that would inspire and direct those who could make his stories come to life on the screen.

You mean one have had to be a Director

[@CaliforniaGirl-qk5kq]

I happened to meet Jobs (and Steve Wozniak) while I worked for Apple Accessory Products Division in 1985 as a Regional MIS Manager for Southern California. While Harry James was GM for the APG Division in Garden Grove, my boss in Cuppertino was Debbie Coleman who worked for Jobs as a controller. That was in 1985, shortly before Jobs was fired by Scully. I remember we were wearing t-shirts with words IBM - which meant I Build Macintosh. Today Apple is the largest company in the world, their valuation on the stock market is over trillion dollars. And that happened because of Steve Jobs, no doubt about it. Steve Wozniak was clearly a design genius, way ahead of his times. And also a master prankster. There would not be Jobs without Wozniak. They both complemented themselves. Steve Jobs was selling what Steve Wozniak was creating (that was Apple I and Apple II). Later Jobs start selling what Palo Alto Xerox Research Lab created (computer with user friendly interface - called Macintosh by Apple). Mike Markulla (the first angel investor of Apple) was responsible for creating Apple Company and its survival in late 70-ties/early 80-ties. BTW - Apple sold APG Division in Garden Grove to Alps (Japanese company) in early Fall 1985.

[@dickiesdocos]

What were they like to be around personally? Was Jobs a tyrant to work for or all the rumors untrue? Did you continue working there after Jobs was sacked?

[@CaliforniaGirl-qk5kq]

@ Not me - as MIS manager I was supporting information mgmt for the division

[@chillytoes337]

I went to high school with "the Steves"...they were both total nerds with no social skills whatsoever. Both belonged to after-school clubs, the engineer club, science club, etc. Geeky as hell, but smart too. They were kind of weird to be honest with you. Definitely not popular kids, but they probably didn't care about all that. Strange guys for sure.

[@tomasooie]

@@chillytoes337 They didn't attend Homestead High School at the same time. Wozniak is five years older than Jobs, and they first met in 1971, while Wozniak was in college and Jobs was finishing high school. And they definitely did have social skills. So I doubt your story.

[@nrich5127]

Why am I not surprised that a genius like Jobs was a little flawed as a human being. It pretty much goes with the territory. That being said there would be no Apple without the genius of Steve Wozniak and he's down to earth.

[@kennymichaud5366]

I would love to listen to the OZ all day. very inspirational person and thinks outside the box

[@juttagalbory6659]

Apple was fantastic. I knew it from the start. They did not have rich relatives to keep them afloat. They had genius and persistence. They developed a quality product. Steve and Steve were a winning pair.
