In 1976, Wozniak and Steve Jobs founded Apple Computer Inc. with Wozniak’s Apple I personal computer. Through the years, Wozniak has been involved in various business and philanthropic ventures, focusing primarily on computer capabilities in schools and stressing hands-on learning and encouraging creativity for students. Making significant investments of both his time and resources in education, he adopted the Los Gatos School District, providing students and teachers with hands-on teaching and donations of state-of-the-art technology equipment. He founded the Electronic Frontier Foundation, and was the founding sponsor of the Tech Museum, Silicon Valley Ballet, and Children’s Discovery Museum of San Jose. Wozniak is Chief Scientist at Primary Data and is a published author with the release of his New York Times best-selling autobiography, “iWoz: From Computer Geek to Cult Icon” by Norton Publishing. Brad Feld Brad Feld has been an early stage investor and entrepreneur since 1987. Prior to co-founding Foundry Group, he co-founded Mobius Venture Capital and, prior to that, founded Intensity Ventures. Brad is also a co-founder of Techstars. In addition to his investing efforts, Brad has been active with several non-profit organizations and currently is chair of the National Center for Women & Information Technology, co-chair of Startup Colorado, and on the board of Path Forward. Brad is a speaker on the topics of venture capital investing and entrepreneurship and writes the blogs Feld Thoughts, Startup Revolution, and Ask the VC. Brad holds Bachelor of Science and Master of Science degrees in Management Science from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Brad is also an art collector and long-distance runner. He has completed 23 marathons as part of his mission to finish a marathon in each of the 50 states. Sean Conlon Through sheer determination and an innate disposition for hard work, Sean J. Conlon is the embodiment of what it means to achieve the American dream. An Irish immigrant, Sean came to the states in 1990 with an education from the Dublin Institute of Technology’s College of Marketing and Design, a two-year stint at Lehman Brothers in London, and an insatiable appetite for business. Though his beginnings working as a janitor in the U.S. were humble, it wasn’t long before the future real estate mogul took his first step towards hard-won success. In 1993, Sean joined one of Chicago’s top real estate firms, and within only a few short years, he had made a name for himself as one of the most prolific sellers of residential real estate throughout not only Chicagoland and the Midwest, but also the entire U.S. with sales approaching $200 million annually. Sean’s unique penchant for recognizing potential business connections and later nurturing them into a fruitful enterprise has been one of the cornerstones of his success in the industry beginning with his founding of Conlon & Co., a real estate merchant bank, in early 2000. Most recently, Sean was asked to be the host for CNBC’s newest original series “The Deed,” which explores a side of real estate that other property shows ignore—an unflinching look at how fortunes are really made in the unpredictable and cutthroat world of real estate flipping and development. 7 www.geniecast.com Meet Our Newest Genies Bernard B. Kerik Bernie Kerik is one of the most dynamic, controversial, and accomplished leaders in law enforcement, corrections, and national security in the U.S. For more than 30 years, he served his country with distinction, honor, and valor, most notably as the 40th Police Commissioner of the City of New York, where his unflinching leadership and oversight of rescue, recovery, and investigation got the people of the city through the devastating attacks on the World Trade Center on 9/11. Considered one of the most decorated police commissioners in the history of the NYC Police Department, he has rescued people from burning buildings, been stabbed, shot at, and saved his partner who had been wounded in a gun battle. He survived the terror attacks on 9/11 and a bomb plot in Iraq. He has been the target of numerous death threats, seized tons of cocaine and millions in drug proceeds from the Cali Cartel, and brought cop killers, Colombian drug lords, and Iraqi terrorists to justice.

    ffirs.indd i 14/08/12 11:53 AM More praise for Renegades Write the Rules “Like people who say that they were in the crowd to watch Secretariat win the Belmont, so many people claim to have been an early adopter of social media. Amy Jo Martin is the genuine article. She was there from the beginning and has seen it all. Don’t buy this book at your own peril.” —Darren Rovell (@DarrenRovell), sports business reporter, ESPN “Renegades Write the Rules is an engaging, well-written piece and an honest look at not just social media but the spirit of adventure and the benefi ts of risk- taking if you are willing to learn from your mistakes! Amy Jo writes with clarity and humor and provides the answers to the issues of social media. It’s a fun read and full of priceless information for this digital age. As my father, Bruce Lee, would suggest, ‘Use no way as way and have no limitation as limitation.’ Amy Jo does just that! She is a true innovator and teacher.” —Shannon Lee (@BruceLeeLegacy), CEO of Bruce Lee Enterprises “Don’t be fooled. Renegades Write the Rules may be the perfect social media tutorial, but Amy Jo’s quest is much larger than just deconstructing Twitter or Facebook. She has led the way in teaching us all how to use the latest commu- nication channels to turn branding and marketing on their heads. No longer do organizations, advertisers, or companies defi ne the rules of the game; power now resides with the individual, the customer, the purchaser, or the fan.

I want to know what you ache for and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart's longing. It doesn't interest me how old you are. I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for love, for your dream, for the adventure of being alive. 5 It doesn't interest me what planets are squaring your moon. I want to know if you have touched the centre of your own sorrow, if you have been opened by life's betrayals or have become shrivelled and closed from fear of further pain. I want to know if you can sit with pain, mine or your own, without moving to hide it, or fade it, or fix it. 10 I want to know if you can be with joy, mine or your own; if you can dance with wildness and let the ecstasy fill you to the tips of your fingers and toes without cautioning us to be careful, be realistic, remember the limitations of being human.

    100 Top Speakers Every Meeting and Event Professional Should Know About Research conducted by Jamie Turner JamieTurner.Live The Definitive Guide to 100 of the World’s Top Speakers I know how hard it is to be an event professional or a meeting professional. I actually ran an event — once! The event was a success, but I’ve never worked harder in my life. So I’ve decided to stick to what I do best, which is to travel the globe speaking about business, leadership and marketing at the world’s largest conferences, events, and trade shows. In the meantime, I thought I’d try to help my friends in the event business by putting together a research-based list of 100 of the top speakers in the world. I hope you find this valuable resource helpful. And let me know if there’s a speaker you think should be added to the list! Sincerely, Jamie Turner Author, Speaker, and CEO 100 Top Speakers | JamieTurner.Live | 678-313-3472 | [email protected] Page 2! 100 of the World’s Top Speakers What follows is a list of 100 of the top speakers in the world. The list is based on quantitative and qualitative research conducted over a several month period. We’ve intentionally left off celebrities and politicians and included only the best speakers we could find. Ashley Rhodes-Courter has a very inspirational story that’s worth checking out. She was born to a single teen mother in 1985 and would spend the next decade of her life in foster care in 14 homes before being adopted at the age of twelve.

  • Steve Wozniak, Gina Smith Wie Ich Den Personal Computer Erfand Und Apple Mitgründete
    iWoz Steve Wozniak, Gina Smith Wie ich den Personal Computer erfand und Apple mitgründete ISBN 3-446-40406-6 Leseprobe Weitere Informationen oder Bestellungen unter http://www.hanser.de/3-446-40406-6 sowie im Buchhandel 13 Der Apple II Bis Anfang 1976 hatten wir etwa 150 Computer verkauft. Nicht bloß über den Byte Shop, sondern auch über andere kleine Läden, die im ganzen Land aufmachten. Wir fuhren einfach durch Kalifornien, gin- gen in einen Laden und fragten dort, ob sie den Apple I anbieten wollten. So konnten wir einige an den Mann bringen. Aber das war im Grunde gar nichts, denn wir beobachteten andere Firmen, die zu jener Zeit im Silicon Valley auftauchten. Eine dieser Firmen mit dem Namen Processor Technology sollte angeb- lich pro Monat mehr als eintausend Stück ihres SOL-20-Computers verkaufen. Der war der Hit in der Welt der Hobbycomputer. Dieser Hobbycomputer war auch mit einer Tastatur ausgestattet, die sie erst entwickelt hatten, nachdem ich den Apple I bei einem der regelmä- ßigen Treffen des Homebrew vorgestellt hatte. Der Apple I war der Auslöser für diesen Trend. Dieser SOL wurde von Lee Felsenstein konstruiert, dem Lei- ter der Homebrew-Meetings. Und da Gordon French dort arbeitete, kriegten wir so einiges mit. Ich hielt den SOL-Computer von Processor Technology nicht für sonderlich beeindruckend. Steve und ich waren deshalb sicher, dass wir mehr verkaufen könnten als die anderen. Aber mittlerweile hatten wir bereits einen Prototyp des nächsten Apple, des Apple II, der zehnmal besser war als der Apple I. Wir waren sicher, dass wir mit diesem Computer ohne Prob- leme genauso viele Rechner wie Processor Technology verkaufen könnten, wenn wir nur das Geld hätten, um ihn bauen zu können.
