A lot has been said, and will be said by people more eloquent than me about the passing of Steve Jobs. There are many perceptions of him that have intensified over the years as he became a cult figure in our culture – genius, control freak, entertainer, hard-driving executive, perfectionist.
But perhaps the video below provides insight into Jobs in his own words – a famous speech he gave to the Stanford graduating class in 2005. I learned more about him in these 15 minutes than I did from all those Mac World presentations.
President & Founder at Jacobs Media
Fred Jacobs founded Jacobs Media in 1983, and quickly became known for the creation of the Classic Rock radio format.
Jacobs Media has consistently walked the walk in the digital space, providing insights and guidance through its well-read national Techsurveys.
In 2008, jacapps was launched - a mobile apps company that has designed and built more than 1,300 apps for both the Apple and Android platforms. In 2013, the DASH Conference was created - a mashup of radio and automotive, designed to foster better understanding of the "connected car" and its impact.
Along with providing the creative and intellectual direction for the company, Fred consults many of Jacobs Media's commercial and public radio clients, in addition to media brands looking to thrive in the rapidly changing tech environment.
Fred was inducted into the Radio Hall of Fame in 2018.
