Who I admire the most

My Current Heroes ("The Inventors", "The Creators")

·       Bill Gates (Software)
·       Anthony Wood (DVR)
·       Steve Wozniak (PC)
·       Ted Turner (Cable, Cartoon Network)
·       Tim Berners-Lee (The World Wide Web)
·       Philo T. Farnsworth (TV)
·       Sean Akins (Toonami)

What do they all have in common?

·       Dropped out of college, didn't graduate, or never went
·       Founded companies, brands, or organizations
·       Invented and/or created a prototype and product
·       Created a technological or media system
·       Work well with systems, and systems building work
·       Took risks to get where they are
·       Most didn't find success until at least their mid-30s or 40s on average
·       They did most of the major innovation on their own, by themselves

·       With the exception of Anthony Wood, all their career peaks began before the 21st Century
