I’m looking forward to the new book about Steve Jobs, coming in a few weeks. The Isaacson book was a disappointment, and this one seems (by reports) to do a much better job of capturing the man and the complexity of his story. As Tim Cook says in an interview with Fast Company: II thought…
I’m fascinated by Noble Brewer, a startup I discovered today at Launch Festival 2015. As they say, We interview dozens of homebrewers to find the very best to feature in Noble Brewer.
