Lessons from this episode:
- These lessons are based on Walter Isaacson's biography of Steve Jobs.
- "The reason Apple can create products like the iPad is that we've always tried to be at the intersection of technology and liberal arts" - said Steve Jobs
- Knowing how to commercialise innovation is as important as inventing something new.
- At Apple, design came first. This is contrary to most tech companies, where engineering dominates.
- A company is an invention as much as a product. Steve Jobs said that Apple was his greatest invention.
In November the TFNT book club will cover The Design of Everyday Things by Don Norman.
