Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

The producer of the hit film, Jobs , shares his visions of Hollywood, big business, and entrepreneurial success with America's most powerful CEOs.

How did Mark Hulme make a journey from Fort Worth, Texas, publisher to first-time movie producer who wrangled Ashton Kutcher to star in one of the most highly anticipated biopics ever made? It's a story right of Steve Jobs's own playbook for success: start with a good idea and the drive to seek the resources that'll turn that concept into reality. This is the illuminating and unique guide to accomplishing those dreams.

Joe Mancuso--founder of CEO Clubs and with more than fifty years of experience as an entrepreneur--assembles twenty diverse CEOs to discuss the genius and nerve behind two effectual lynchpins: the founder of Apple himself, and Mark Hulme who took the risk to bring Jobs's story to the big screen. In these lively, informative, and invaluable conversations, Mancuso, Hulme, and their peers illustrate how you, too, can apply the same principles and efforts into your own personal success story.

Excerpt provided by Syndetics

Mancuso When did you get the idea to create a Steve Jobs movie? This is October, 2012. Hulme Doesn't everyone want to create a Steve Jobs movie? [Chuckle] I was looking around to be an investor in a film but I had heard horror stories about the creative accounting in that business. So I wanted to find something in film where I could control the checkbook. I heard that this creative accounting would result in you not getting your money back, so I looked for something that if I lost my money I would at least get a "learning experience". There was a project I was looking at but I had no interest in the story line. I would be joining a smart group of savvy film people and my contribution was to be $500,000. I even sent the script to my attorney. Then as I am walking down the hall in August, 2011 some art directors and IT people were abuzz by a water cooler. The excitement of this group leads me to believe it was caused by another 9/11 or a terrorist act. No, I found out they were discussing the news that Steve Jobs had retired. Imagine that?
