So he opened the phone book, found the home number of Bill Hewlett, the founder of Hewlett-Packard, and called him. Hewlett talked with him for 20 minutes, got him the parts, and gave him a summer job.\nMore than four decades later, when HP abandoned its Cupertino campus, that same kid quietly bought the land, a hundred and fifty acres. By then, his company had passed Microsoft to become the most valuable technology company in the world. But he admired the way Hewlett and Packard had built a company that lasted, and he prided himself on having done the same.\nIn June 2011, he stood before the Cupertino City Council and unveiled the plans for what would become his company's new home on that ground. It was one of his last public appearances. Four months later, he was gone.\nThis is the story of Steve Jobs, how he built Apple, and what we can learn from him.\nSource for this episode: \nSteve Jobs by Walter Isaacson\nLinks:\nAmbition website\nAmbition Summit\nFollow Justin on Twitter\nConnect with Justin on LinkedIn ","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/A-0MqXQQBnkzQseMH2SiANoWjNiADfzGy1n6wDpLCyc/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8zOTU0/NDA5M2ZjMGM3N2Mx/N2Y5YmJhMjZmMmE4/NTA4YS5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
