It's so funny watching this interview, knowing the "Next" year Steve was going to return to Apple, and would begin a journey which would go down in history as perhaps the greatest business turn around and success story of all time.
There is a conversation that the foundation for Steve’s success was laid by Gil Amelio. Steve Job’s return was possible because of Gil’s effort but they didn’t stop Steve from taking him down and becoming new CEO. In any case, the story behind Apple and Steve Job’s success is fascinating.
@@aniket385 him selling his apple shares is what gave him the money to invest in Pixar. It’s still Pixar that factually first made him a billionaire…indeed though if he kept his approx 12% of apple shares that would make him the richest person in the world today! All very fascinating! Just proves real entrepreneurs are really interested in ideas rather than just making money. 🤯🤯🤯
people say that steve was control freak, showman, and someone who stole credit from others.. whereas he was just impatient and very driven, a visionary that was way ahead of his time. he knew what he was good at and always accredited his team.. he always said how he was proud of his team and how nothing was possible without them. he will be greatly missed
jobs basically stole a few thousand dollars from wozniak - lied to him about the amount of a payment that they were supposed to split 50/50, keeping most of the money for himself. he was all the things you mentioned but also a bit of a scumbag.
you can see he’s hurting talking about apple. as a founder, he is definitely watching their every move and in his head thinking what he should’ve would’ve could’ve done different. glad history worked out the way it did and steve came back home to apple
Ya Steve definitely loved apple …. You know most of time 90 s a company going would be vultured off and broken into small parts and sold for profit… this was a world of corporate raiders …. Not only Steve goes against 99% of what others are doing and doesn’t break company and make a small profit…. He plans a long term comeback…. And leaves Apple as a biggest company by revenue….so like he said his core values at apple and the great way he led the company by hiring and firing the right people is a great thing
Not just high IQ, but high social intelligence and high charisma. Very unusual to have all three in such large measure. At least he used it all to enhance everyone's lives, and didn't become an evil dictator or some such.
@@dk-zp5ze Haha how can you doubt the high IQ, stupid :'D And charisma, of course, absolutely, off the charts. However, social intelligence? Maybe at this stage in his life. As a youngster, though, he seems to have been pretty insufferable.
@@dk-zp5ze Depends, is being able to see the long vision a staple of high IQ? I imagine so. He saw the huge potential value of personal computers and digital animation long before many others.
He magnetized towards the guy. Steve Jobs. He felt it. Fabulous interview. The reality is. Steve Jobs was the guy to talk to. And he felt it. Seems. Nice
@@drewpowers7236 damn that was a fast response, and oh I didn’t know that, I was born in 98 and felt like the internet wasn’t that popular when I was growing up
@@romerobryan83 yeah for some reason youtube alerted me of this comment and i was bored and replied lol. Yeah I mean it was dial up then but it was hitting the masses already. Jobs would of been on it for years by that point
@@taimalik1110 Steve Job’s baby’s mama Chrisann Brennan used to tell his daughter Lisa Brennan Jobs that he wore jeans with holes since high school, and “sometimes there were more holes than jeans.” (Back before it was fashionable from 80’s punk) This was in response to the kid asking “If Dad is a multimillionaire, how come there are always holes in his jeans?” (And almost no furniture in his mansion.) I got that from her autobiography _Small Fry._
Charlie Rose interrupts too much, and is clearly out of his league. He seems to marginalize Lasseter & Jobs, instead of asking very researched pointed questions - These are experts with genius and talent beyond our imagination. I've listened to a multitude of Jobs' interviews and they are all fascinating and jaw dropping.
John is clearly bothered in the interview hahahaaha interviews are supposed to bring new insghts to audience, yet, this guy doesnt allow them to elaborate and follow through...
I know a lot of people are annoyed by the interviewer (I am too), but try to take in the interview this way: Steve Jobs has always had something to say and said it. Maybe this is a good opportunity to see what it's like to try and drive Steve Jobs' conversation and see where it would take him.
The one quality you can't refuse to acknowledge in Steve is that he was a leader who never diminished his people. He put them on a pedestal and said everything became possible because of them.
Steve Jobs had many amazing qualities, but he absolutely did diminish people outside of the press. He is very famous for blowing up at engineers who had just pulled all nighters or 80 hour weeks to try and get something good enough that still didn’t achieve the level Steve wanted yet.
Hahaha I'm sorry but he absolutely did. In public he was a great marketer, but he was a famously abusive boss. He demanded nothing less than perfection, and didn't care about how he would get there.
@@jajajinks1569 There are many publicly available videos where he puts his team first, acknowledging how he stands as just a symbol but it is the team that makes amazing things happen. Let's give him the credit he easily deserves.
@@shahzadaayub That doesn't contradict what I said. He was a great marketer, and he was also a pretty abusive boss in private. I read his autobiography last week. Many MANY people have very bad anecdotes of him. But he was also a fantastic visionary that could move mountains to achieve the impossible - and sometimes that meant manipulating people using every technique in his book, and being an asshole to the extreme. I highly recommend the book btw, Walter Isaacson tried really hard to show both sides of him in a fair way, and I came away with a much bigger appreciation of Steve.
Here’s another thing I admire Steve Jobs for. They are in it for the storytelling, and the technology is only there in service for the storytelling! I happen to be of the same opinion about the peck order of technology vs business ideas Technology is tools, not the means!
Lassiter says they can’t afford to do a scene ten different ways 8:55 - but they used to make those hilarious bloopers at the end of Pixar movies which were unnecessary & hilarious. Worth it. Shows great character of the creators and gives more depth to the characters in the stories
There was a time when Pixar for burning cash and NeXT computers was poor on sales. Steve had burned up half of his wealth he earned from Apple and Steve never refused funding to the Animators at Pixar. His only condition was “Making it Great” And John Lasseter and his team did make it great.
Still bringing up Microsoft-Apple at a time when it looked like Steve lost. Could only imagine how redeeming it was when he made his big comeback with Apple after the huge hit with Pixar that made him Disney's number one shareholder.
To be honest, I was never attracted to Steve Jobs because of the hardware. I was always attracted to Jobs because he knew how to tell a story. This is the best Steve Jobs interview EVER for storytellers
@@danielpowell482 also all he wanted was the highlights, he wanted to hear how they used the sun’s energy using a Dyson sphere in order to get Woody’s hat to be the right shade of brown and then attribute that to the reason that the film is good
"Everyone gets everything he wants. I wanted a mission, and for my sins, they gave me one. Brought it up to me like room service. It was a real choice mission, and when it was over, I never wanted another." - Willard (Apocalypse Now) & Steve Jobs (Returning to Apple). It was so obvious that Jobs was so ready to return to Apple. So obvious. Gil Amelio made one of the best decisions bringing Jobs back. Yes, it cost him his job...but Amelio still saved the company by bringing Jobs back.
I'd forgotten Jobs was with Pixar. The man was a real visionary. Say what you want about him, I can pay all my bills in 6 minutes without pencil, paper, calculators, or checkbook. Thanks Steve.
Charlie rose just doesnt seem to get it. John and Steve try to explain that computers are just tools, but Charlie keeps trying to highlight the computer. He just sounds do dim witted.
Totally agree with Steve Jobs opinion children learn a lott of animation films, about wrong right etc. for example Pocahotas an Indian girl dark-haired with a blond-haired young person. That goes already for years. Saskia van Houtert (sausage), engineer/office-manager.
We miss Steve Jobs even to this day. He didn't live to see all the new IPhones at Apple and find out about John Lasseter's sexual allegations toward female workers at Pixar. At least, Lasseter moved to Skydance Animation and lead to a uproar among Disney and Pixar fans. Since Steve Jobs died in a sickness form of cancer, i guess the world is not ready for a cure for cancer despite millions of people dying of cancer every day. :(
I'm convinced that had Steve lived a little longer, he would also have been cancelled over ages-old allegations of "misbehavior." It has now been established that cancel culture can take anyone out for things he did even as a teenager. Yeah, they would have destroyed him, without a doubt.
Tbh I think this is where Steve lost his willingness to do interviews. If you think about it, the only interviews he really did after this were the All Things Digital conferences, starting in ~2005 onward.
Charlie Rose interviews are often so... bizarre. It's like he badgers every guest until they give him the answer he's looking for, or until they reduce the complexity of their answer enough so that he can understand it - and only then does he appear to be satisfied. The problem is, most of the time I really want to hear the rest of the guest's answer before Rose interrupts and interjects with his reductive summary of what he *thinks* they just said, or were about to say (which is almost always, invariably, wrong, and then the guest has to correct and clarify, again with constant interruptions).
As of this writing, Disney+Pixar has not released a single 2D animated feature film since The Princess and the Frog 12 years ago (2009). While I do believe Lassetter was sincere in his remark, it saddens me that Disney has lost all its 2D related ambition
@@jonanddy 2D isn't inherently more old fashioned than 3D, both should be able to co-exist and both have potential to evolve. As well, immersion is not what is most important in animation anyways, animation can be more abstract and less realistic. I have no issue with 3D, and recently, 3D CG has been making huge strides after a while of stagnation (Spider-Verse in particularly really kicked 3D CG animation into overdrive and we've been seeing a lot of absolutely beautiful animated films following suit in recent years). But I think there's still untapped potential with 2D. I mean, we've seen 2D video games in recent years with some truly amazing art and visuals, but we never see that in American film anymore. And while Japan is pushing 2D animation forwards more, not everyone is into that art style and would prefer something more western.
You need hard hitting journalism to get to the bottom of Toy Story. A story about murder, deceit and betrayal... and all the covert things that happen when the Nanny Cam is off
Well he his reiterating his questions because he wants to get the clear picture of what Pixar does that is revolutionary and how Toy Story came to be the success that it is and also if you think of the time this interview was talking place this new medium of computer animation is so unknown and the world is trying to figure out what in the heck is this new movie studio that rocked up with this new look, and he wants to know who is John Lasseter and who is Steve Jobs as well as helping the world figure out the process of computer and hand drawn animation and how it is different to live action.
This interviewer is so annoying and I rather admire Steve and John speak without this man interfering with his very weak questions, but both Steve and John delivered a great interview and provided the public with great information. It’s beautiful to have a glimpse of how these brilliant minds think. Admirable. Inspiring.
Nah I think there was a mutual respect in the end. Not everyone can actually speak over Steve Jobs. I think he enjoyed the challenge. Charlie Rose stood his ground.
Me too. Same here. Even I was born back in 1996/1️⃣9️⃣9️⃣6️⃣ & would have turned 18 years old back in 2014/2️⃣0️⃣1️⃣4️⃣ which is the same exact year I finished High School🏫 when Pixar going way different back then, I would have still wanted to work for Pixar just to help make old Pixar Movies Great in different ways just because I still love Pixar. Regardless if it isn’t the exact same anymore like it used to be when it may become Greater again later on in Life. Who knows? Hoping it does so I can try to continue to still live my Dream like I wanted to do before till everything went downhill over the years. You never know what God may have plan Bigger for Pixar including Disney too as well with new better Movies to make it much Greater again like before if it’s even possible. Never give up on your Dreams no matter what happens in Life People.
@20:40 Charlie: "Am I gonna come back to interview you in 5 years and find out you're in some other business?" Steve: [smiles] This was 1996. Steve returned to Apple in 1997.
@@42_comes_after_the_joke The iMac stanched Apple's bleeding, and created a new industrial design paradigm that swept across new products, but it was the iPod that turned Apple into a profit-making machine. Look at a chart of Apple's stock price over time, and you see the price take off like a rocket starting in about 2003-2004. The new, mature Jobs who came back to Apple was far different from the brat who exited Apple (he was NOT fired!) in 1985.
Steve in Apple and Steve not in Apple are two completely different personalities. He apparated in to create Apple and make it ubiquitous. In 2011, his job done and he apparated out.
I’m an Android religious fanatic with 17 different models, and even burn iPhones when I can buy them cheaply on eBay because it is so satisfying, however I miss Steve.
15:40, Steve Jobs wrong, Snow White was released in 1937 not 1928... also the main competitor was the next year 1938 with Gulliver's Travels. Source wikipedia
People who say Charlie Rose is rude or arrogant need to understand he was known as a critical interviewer. He may be impolite by interrupting, but he asks "why" and reiterates to cut through the fat. Also John talked like a politician here with plenty of filler nonsense to cut through.
