Simple Ways to Master Technology and Create True Fans
If you’re a big fan of the Dos Equis commercials (who isn’t?) then you’ll be excited to know that I got to interview the most interesting man in the world.
No, he isn’t an actor, but he has one of the most diverse and interesting life stories I’ve come across.

He has studied how the Amish use technology, developed a catalog of Cool Tools to improve daily lifestyle, and met Steve Jobs on several occasions.
