Jeannette talks to Jesse Tayler, an inventor, lifelong startup entrepreneur and founder of TruAnon, about his experience with creating the App Store and pitching it to Steve Jobs.

Jesse reflects on the challenges faced during the early days of electronic distribution and the importance of perseverance in the face of scepticism. He delves into the impact of AI on businesses, sharing practical advice on integrating language models into software development.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• The importance of timing is crucial, as well as the need to adapt and evolve ideas over time to fit changing circumstances.
• We must listen to one's inner self and trust one's instincts as a valuable tool in decision-making and pursuing entrepreneurial endeavours.
• The concept of failure as a learning opportunity shouldn’t be discounted. In Jesse’s case they have contributed to his growth and success.
• The lasting impact of Jesse’s inventions, such as the App Store, is acknowledged, showcasing how even perceived failures can lead to significant contributions to the tech industry.

BEST MOMENTS

"I think the critical driver is really a desire to change the world in a way that matters. And it doesn't have to be an idea that comes from me."

“The capacity of that language model to help you create, perhaps not to give you any intention, to perhaps not to give you advice, you know, that makes sense in the larger application design."

"I don't know where the passion comes from, but without it, you're not going to be able to get that over the hump. It is too scary and it is too difficult."

"Well, it was a failure, but it wasn't a failure because now all these years later, what you started back then is now part and parcel of everyday life."
