Recommendation

Have you ever wanted to get inside the head of one of the designers of one of the most important products of the century? Here’s your chance. In this episode of the Commonwealth Club of California podcast, host John Markoff speaks to Tony Fadell about the development of the iPod, how it changed Apple and the world, and what it takes to create a product that resonates with users. In addition, he shares his thoughts on the culture differences between Apple and Google and where he thinks investors should focus their resources in the future. Spoiler: He’s not suggesting investments in Meta!

Take-Aways

  • Technology continually changes, but human nature doesn’t.
  • The cultures of companies and countries differ; to understand a culture, examine its leaders and products.
  • Investors have poured money into apps and social platforms at the expense of green technologies; but that trend might be changing.
