The episode reveals how Wozniak single-handedly designed Apple&amp;rsquo;s first computers while working nights at his apartment, using constraints and limitations as creative advantages rather than obstacles.
Unlike typical Silicon Valley success stories, Wozniak&amp;rsquo;s approach was radically different. After Apple&amp;rsquo;s IPO made him worth $88 million, he sold his shares at below-market prices to colleagues who had been excluded from the stock program.</description></item></channel></rss>
