Description

Tony Fadell led the teams that created the iPod, iPhone, and Nest Learning Thermostat. Drawing on 30+ years in Silicon Valley, Build offers leadership, design, startups, and mentorship insights through personal stories and practical guidance. Written for anyone who wants to grow at work—from new graduates navigating their first jobs to CEOs deciding whether to sell their companies—Build is a collection of short, actionable entries. Each 5–20 page chapter follows Tony’s journey from product designer to leader and mentor, with examples like building the first iPod and iPhone. The book helps readers with real-world questions—how to get funding for a startup, whether to quit a job, or how to handle difficult colleagues. Tony forged his path alongside mentors like Steve Jobs and Bill Campbell, showing that you don’t have to reinvent everything to make something great. His advice is unorthodox because it’s old-school—grounded in human nature. Tony is ready to help everyone make things worth making.
