5 | Steve Wozniak - Apple's Humble Genius

Brandon True Episode 5

I just read "iWoz" by Steve Wozniak, and it’s very different from most business biographies.

Woz wasn’t an entrepreneur. He vowed that for his entire life he’d never get a promotion - he wanted to always be a lowly engineer. He was happiest in the math, not in the business. And, he voluntarily left Apple and gave away lots of his stock because he wanted to keep engineering.
