Tony Fadell: The Gospel According to the Creater of iPod, iPhone, and Nest

This week's guest on Remarkable People invented three of the top fifty most influential gadgets of all time. You might have one in your pocket right now!

I'm Guy Kawasaki and this is Remarkable People.

Becoming remarkable is a difficult and painful process.

We're on our mission to shorten that time, relieve that pain, and make you remarkable.

Helping me in this episode is a remarkable Tony Fadell.

Do I need to say any more than he guided the development of the iPod, iPhone, and Nest thermostat?

Time Magazine has called his inventions three of the fifty most influential gadgets of all time.

Tony is the author of a new book, Build: An Unorthodox Guide to Making Things Worth Making.

If you are an entrepreneur or someone who's trying to build great products, it's inconceivable to me why you would not read this book.

In this episode, we merely cover mission driven versus eagle driven assholes, what it was like to work for Steve Jobs, the pearls of data driven decisions, the difference between parent CEOs and babysitter CEOs and why companies make crappy products.

If you love great products, you won't want this episode to end.
