Hi ,
I am a bit surprised and more than a little humbled at the response generated from having published our featured article this month; it generated a lot of conversation and enthusiasm. I got steeped in innovation as a mindset during my years at Apple (it's embedded in my DNA at this point), and it's been the lynchpin for the work I've done since. As I've shared previously, there is nothing more fulfilling than living at the tip of the spear, being on the cutting edge of 'the next big thing', and working with others who share a similar vision and operating style. The ability to see what's coming and to be willing to reinvent oneself continuously are key skills. Be sure to scroll down and read Three Lessons On Innovation I Learned During My 12 Years At Apple.
This month's recommended read is Arianna Huffington's The Sleep Revolution: Transforming Your Life, One Night at a Time. It gives new meaning to the phrase "sleep your way to the top" (tongue-in-cheek reference to the entertainment industry). The truth is, most of us don't get enough sleep, and it turns out it's absolutely crucial for those of us who desire to be happier, healthier and more productive to make sure we do (!).
I'm looking forward to connecting again next month; wishing you continued success in the meantime.

Three Lessons On Innovation I Learned During My 12 Years At Apple
Before Apple Music, before the iPad, even before the mp3, I had a front-row seat and backstage access to the digital music revolution.
During my 12-year tenure at Apple, from the late '80s and to the early 2000s, I helped lead the team that launched some of Apple's earliest innovations in music and entertainment. We developed the strategies, marketing initiatives, and relationships with content creators and media companies-across music, film, and TV-that laid the foundations that iTunes and subsequent innovations were later build upon.
Since then, my friend and colleague Dave Ulmer has literally written the book (or one of them, anyway) on innovation and corporate culture. Drawing on his work in The Innovator's Extinction, here are three key lessons that characterize my experience at Apple and strike me as more relevant than ever today.
