Steve Jobs: The Books & Movies Got It All Wrong (Ed Catmull | Pixar Founder)

"Steve went through the classic hero's journey. Early on in his life, his behavior was not good. It's kind of sexy and exciting with a 'bad boy' flavor to it, so the movies and books like to focus on that part.
...That's not the important story. Steve was a person who learned from his mistakes. It was the changed Steve who made Apple great, not the person in the movies and books."
In an exclusive sit-down at 97th Floor's client and partner Mastermind event, 97th Floor CEO Paxton Gray interviews Pixar Founder Ed Catmull about his relationship with Steve Jobs and the truth about Steve Jobs that's not "sexy" enough for movies and books.

An intelligent person never stops learning.

Thanks for sharing this. I think Ed articulates that change in a way that none of the books do, but I felt like that change was apparent Walter Isaacson's biography captures that change. For me, it was an emotional journey of losing admiration for Steve and then having it rebuilt over the course of the book.

"Becoming Steve Jobs" by Brent Schlender resembles when he is talking about. I think if anyone wants to actually see the evolution of Jobs should read this one over Walter's book.

Garbage, people believe what they want to believe. People started speaking "softer" about Jobs once he was diagnosed with terminal cancer. And of course, as memories fade, the harsher times don't seem as harsh. I don't want to speak bad about someone whose passed away but just saying that's all.
