Slices of Apple episode 6: Core Values part 2

slices of apple

Slices of Apple is a documentary series exploring the success of Apple as a company. It seeks to educate business leaders, entrepreneurs and laypeople about how Apple keeps delivering consistently great products.

In this episode I'm talking to Tim Nufire, VP of Engineering with Backblaze, a comprehensive online backup solution for your computers. Tim left Apple the day Steve Jobs returned, but says Steve's vision of delivering amazing products never left the company.

Tim worked in several different departments at Apple, and talks a bit about the culture of taking on new challenges. He also shares some good advice when it comes to listening to naysayers as you build a business, something he's been intimately involved in with the creation and growth of Backblaze.

If you want to know what it was like to work at Apple in the 90's, this will provide a glimpse of that world. Also see last week's episode with CTO of Backblaze, Brian Wilson.
