    Steve Jobs wasn’t just brilliant — he was unpredictable, obsessive, persuasive, and often… unreasonably difficult. But how did someone with so many flaws build the most iconic products — and the most valuable company — in the world?

You’ll hear wild stories, unlikely lessons, and timeless strategies. We cover: • Why your first hustle matters more than your big idea • What Steve taught us about marketing without saying a word • How your friends shape your future (and how his shaped his) • Why copying Steve’s style can backfire — and what to steal instead This is not a tribute. It’s a decoding. Listen in, and steal the right things from Steve Jobs’ blueprint.
