After sharing his ideas with his friend Max, they built a prototype of our first product in a garage, which led to the decision to turn it into a company.

The launch of the iPhone in 2007 sparked my idea to design a mobile app, leading to the creation of my first business, Six Agency. I wanted to push the idea that you don't need a full catalog of products in front of a customer on a small device; the app would show only one highly curated product per day, which could be anything from a pencil from Japan to a beautiful watch.

In college, I wanted to create products that connected me with the community around me, which led to the realization that I needed to build software that others would use too.

The launch of the iPhone led to unexpected successes like Flappy Bird, illustrating how new technologies can create unforeseen business opportunities.

Apple was a pioneer in merging technology and design, especially with the iPod, setting a standard for consumer electronics that we aimed to follow.

In 2008, I quit my job in the automotive industry to pursue app development after seeing the potential of the iPhone SDK.

Looking back on my relationships and experiences has been both challenging and rewarding, including my fantastic early collaboration with Steve Jobs on projects like the Apple II and Macintosh software.

With the initial funding, we hired engineers to help develop our iPhone app, but faced delays in getting it approved.

When my co-founder George called me with an innovative idea, I was blown away by the demo he showed me, which led us to explore starting a business together.
