I am reading a biography about Steve Wozniak, the inventor of the Apple computer and co-founder of Apple. Apple is one of the largest companies in the world today, yet it began in a garage in Silicon Valley. In the biography, Wozniak's life is described, but his work and contributions for Apple are highlighted against his early life story.
I am already about halfway through this book and have found it very interesting. Wozniak is clearly a brilliant engineer, but his contributions to the business and operation of the company are sometimes overlooked. Steve Jobs often overshadows Wozniak from the public perspective, but each has made great contributions to the exponential growth of the company.
Just as Apple started in a garage, my own sign company is beginning in my garage. I do not mean to say that my company will anywhere approach the success of Apple, but it is very interesting to see that the founders of Apple encountered some similar problems that I face working with my own project.
