## Resource

The Steve Jobs story most people know skips the twenty years of failure in the middle. Using Brent Schlender and Rick Tetzeli's Becoming Steve Jobs, we walk through the 5-year-old at his workbench, the firing, NeXT, Pixar, and the return to Apple, and we pull out the lessons worth applying to your own business.
