Tony Fadell — On Building the iPod, iPhone, Nest, and a
Life of Curiosity | Brought to you by
SuperFat and Four
Sigmatic.
“Get bored. Just put away all of your things. Maybe go
clean up the garage or whatever it is. Right? Through that,
you're going to start to think differently. You're going to act
slightly differently and your mind might open up to other sources
of inspiration, other problems...” — Tony Fadell
Tony Fadell (@tfadell), sometimes called "the
father of the iPod," is an active investor and entrepreneur with
a 30+ year history of founding companies and designing products
that profoundly improve people's lives. As the Principal at
Future Shape, a global investment and advisory firm coaching
engineers and scientists working on foundational deep technology,
he is continuing to help bring technology out of the lab and into
our lives. Currently, Future Shape is coaching 200+ startups
innovating game-changing technologies.
Tony founded Nest Labs, Inc. in 2010 and served as its Chief
Executive Officer until his resignation in 2016. He joined Apple
Computer Inc. in 2001 and, as the SVP of Apple's iPod division,
led the team that created the first 18 generations of the iPod
and the first three generations of the iPhone. Tony founded the
Mobile Computing Group at Philips Electronics and served as its
Chief Technology Officer and Director of Engineering 1995 to
1998, responsible for all aspects of business and product
development, including the award-winning Philips Velo and Nino
PDAs. From 1998 to 1999, he served as Vice President for Philips
Strategy & Venture focused on building out its digital media
strategy and investment portfolio. From 1992 to 1995, he served
as a Hardware and Software Architect at General Magic, which
created the precursor to the iPhone 15 years earlier.
Tony has filed more than 300 patents for his work. In May 2016,
Time named the Nest Learning Thermostat, the iPod, and the iPhone
three of the "50 Most Influential Gadgets of All Time." Tony
graduated with a BS degree in Computer Engineering from the
University of Michigan in 1991.

This episode is also brought to you
by SuperFat Nut Butters. These
little beauties are great. I’ve been using them as quick
mini-breakfasts and on-the-go fuel for a few months now. They’re
200–300 calories each, depending on which ingredient cocktail you
eat (MCT, protein, macadamia, caffeine, etc.); 3–5g of net carbs
per pouch; keto- and Paleo-friendly; and easy to throw in a
backpack or pocket. The first time I
tried SuperFat, I finished the entire box
in a few days, so watch your portion control.
I suggest ordering the Variety Box and you can try all
5 SuperFat flavors in one box, and it
has 2 pouches of each flavor. Get 15% off your order
by going
to SuperFat.com/tim.
This podcast is also brought to you by
Four Sigmatic. I reached out to
these Finnish entrepreneurs after a very talented acrobat
introduced me to one of their products, which blew my mind (in
the best way possible). It is mushroom coffee featuring Lion's
Mane. It tastes like coffee, but there are only 40 milligrams of
caffeine, so it has less than half of what you would find in a
regular cup of coffee. I do not get any jitters, acid reflux, or
any type of stomach burn. It put me on fire for an entire day,
and I only had half of the packet.
You can try it right now by going to
foursigmatic.com/tim and using the code
Tim to get 20 percent off your first order. If you are
in the experimental mindset, I do not think you'll be
disappointed.
