    At this very young age, Steve Jobs' language was so incredibly eloquent and beautiful.

    Isn't it amazing that someone who never attended the Academia and got a fancy degree in Harvard, for example is the one who is the prime example for those Ivy Schools to teach their students how to organize and CEO a company?

    Man, if only everyone is able to talk, and think in the same way as he did. No hype, no click bait, no pointless arguments, just pure signal, and zero noise.

    “let me answer that question another way” … there was no one else like Steve
  • @okubowisdom
    Steve was truly a Visionary. Interpersonal computing, Remote work, etc. He was way ahead of his time.

    It astonishes me to look back and realize how some people foresaw events that we didn't recognize until they occurred.
  • @fraserwing8744
    This is the most incredible "fly on the wall" perspective of observing someone who understands their business environment in the most succinct of ways. Amazing interview, absolutely amazing. A beautiful example of "If you understand where you came from you better understand where you are wanting to go."

    It's crazy to think this interview was before the internet existed as we know it.
  • @Majthoub
    he didn't just know the future of his company, he knew the future of this world
  • @souradeepbasu2129
    It's really been a privilege to tune to the podcast of such a dignified person.

    Its his vision that was the heart of Apple, he was a reminder in that Company on what all this effort was for.
  • @HowieIsaacks
    I like how he always had a NeXT product in the background. Steve didn't know it at the time of this interview but what he did at NeXT is what saved Apple from ruin.
  • What an incredible way of thinking . Every word is a Prophecy to the core.
  • @PhysicsITGuy
    It's fascinating to hear him describe how he wanted computers to connect to the network and detach at will, describing them as pods connecting to the "motherlode." This is the same language that was used when describing the ipod, which was unveiled in 2001, over ten years later. It's also the same concept behind the tight integration of apple products. I'm not a huge fan of Apple, but I'm impressed that the vision remained more or less consistent for the past 35 years.

    I am totally in love with this young man who later on changed our world like no one else does❤❤❤
  • @BarcelonaMove
    I am sad I didn't get to live that era of the internet, even when I've lived one of the best ones 1990-2010

    Interview 33 years ago, thanks for the upload.
  • I longtime favorite... Mr Jobs was the real deal. Personal Training for the rest of us was the lesson. See where you want to be a ride there.
