“very difficult, you know, read Walter Isaacson's book on him as well.”

“Walter Isaacson, Steve Jobs, Elon Musk, great.”

“One of the stories in the book has to do with he would go over and see what's going on on someone's computer and just say, that's total crap. You should be fired. And I was never quite that harsh.”

“It wasn't that I thought everything was hunky-dory when I read the book because I don't want to – otherwise it comes across as pretty melodramatic. It's more like it was the last straw, so to speak. It was a catalyst to actually go and really pull the trigger.”

“I read Steve Jobs' book pretty much the day it came out. That's Brad Wardell. He lives in Canton, Michigan. He's the founder and CEO of a software and computer game company called Stardock. When Wardell read the Steve Jobs biography, he learned a different lesson than the one he planned.”

“Wardell has three kids. One of the stories in the book has to do with he would go and see what's going on on someone's computer and just say, that's total crap. You should be fired. And I was never quite that harsh.”

“And it was Steve Jobs who helped teach him this. For Brad Wardell, the legacy of Steve Jobs was do not be like Steve Jobs. It wasn't that I thought everything was hunky-dory when I read the book.”

“People have never been in business or never been entrepreneurs and generally older people. You know, their first reaction, especially to the first half of the book, is, boy, he was kind of a jerk and he was hard to deal with.”

“You know, it's probably counterintuitive, but noticing how many people were sort of surprised by how tough of a personality he could be or the tales, all of which are on the record in the book. So I hope they're not exaggerated, but their tales, you know, there's none of these tales off the record.”

“Once he started working on this book with me, he just wanted to talk on and on, which was great. Walter Isaacson is an author, journalist, and CEO of the Aspen Institute. Jobs handpicked Isaacson to write his biography, which wound up being published just a couple of weeks after Jobs died.”

“Isaacson writes, 'God gave us ten styluses,' he would say, waving his fingers. 'Let's not invent another.'”

“and there's a there's an interesting quote in isaacson's book from Noah Bushnell who's Jobs's old boss at Atari”

“he was obsessed not with the bottom line he was obsessed with pushing Beauty out into the world you re you read isaacson's book Jo jobs etc etc”
