He was lucky. He found what he loved to do early in life. Woz and he started Apple in his parents’ garage when he was 20. They worked hard, and in 10 years Apple had grown into a $2 billion company with over 4,000 employees. They had just released their finest creation “the Macintosh” a year earlier, and he had just turned 30. Apple grew they hired someone who he thought was very talented to run the company with his, and for the first year or so things went well. But then their visions of the future began to diverge and eventually they had a falling out. So at 30 he was out. And very publicly out. What had been the focus of my entire adult life was gone, and it was devastating.
