The book delves into the techniques employed by Jobs in his presentation and dissects the elements that made him such a successful communicator.

In 1988, Gallo received a BA in political science from the University of California, Los Angeles, and an MS in broadcast journalism from the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University in 1989.
