Steve Jobs and Woz Trained at HP – Then Build Apple – Great Interview: Chuck House at HP

Hewlett-Packard back in the day was a special company that shaped the computing industry by motivating Steve Jobs and Woz to build Apple Computer.

KQED Forum has this great interview with Chuck House who was a leading figure at Hewlett-Packard, a company that I spend the first 9 years of my career. This is a must listen for anyone in business or any entrepreneur.

Silicon Valley printer and PC giant Hewlett Packard is less of a household name than firms like Apple and Google, but HP is the world’s largest high-tech company. We talk with HP veteran Chuck House about the company’s history and philosophy.

He’s the author of “The HP Phenomenon: Innovation and Business Transformation.”

I hope entrepreneurs can get back to building “durable” companies like Hewlett-Packard.
