Guess Who I Met…
I recently attended the National Entrepreneurs Convention up in Birmingham and one speaker really stood out for me. Yes, thats right, Steve Wozinak (or Woz to his good friends ahem!) the millionaire co-founder of Apple Computer was speaking about what drove him to build the first personal computer back in the late 70’s.
It’s Woz and Steve Jobs that brought computers to the masses and ultimately why I started my business!
I’ve got a lot to be grateful for to Woz and his insights into his practical jokes and the myths promoted by the movies were great to hear on stage.
I managed to grab a photo with him and tell him all about the projects we’ve got lined up here at Barton HQ. He was genuinely interested (or very good at feigning interest) and had a sparkle in his eye when he talked about ‘building things’.
In my opinion he was one of the nicest nerds I’ve ever met and his few words of wisdom on how Apple grew into the largest computer manufacturer in the world will forever ring in my ears.
Don’t forget if you are looking for assistance integrating Apple products into your business network, drop my team a quick call for help. We might even be able to call my new best friend for tech support!
P.S. He hasn’t received his iPhone 6 yet either. Maybe I’ll get mine before him?
