Helping Steve Jobs and Apple seek Spiritual Enlightenment with Daniel Kottke

Daniel Kottke met Steve Jobs during the first couple of weeks while at Reed College. They became friends after Kottke introduced Jobs to spirituality which later included them going to India in search of enlightenment. Kottke shares how he was Apple’s first part-time employee, worked in the now infamous garage of Jobs’ parents and the early history behind Apple. In this episode we get to hear the true story about Jobs and the early years of Apple from another perspective and it is fascinating!! Another big myrony is how Daniel and Alysha met from two chance meetings which the latest one was thanks to last week’s guest Ernest White II. As we know there are no coincidences so was their meeting so he could share his story here? We believe so because “That’s Myrony”!!      About the Guest:Kottke was a friend of Steve Jobs at Reed College, where their shared interest in eastern spirituality led them to make a 4-month journey to india in 1974. Daniel built Apple-1’s in the Jobs garage in 1976, worked on the Apple II production line 1977-8, built prototypes of the Apple-III 1979-80, built prototypes of the Mac 1981-84 and was a contributing engineer to the original Macintosh128.He worked at a dozen start-ups in the years 1985-2008 before focusing more on real estate since 2009. Hosted and produced the local cable show The Next Step 2005-2012 - shows on themes mostly related to consciousness or culture. Still involved in real estate but in recent years very focused on creating smart-home solutions for the multi-tenant and elder-care sectors.Also in recent years he’s been building the kilotunes.com collection of pop/RnR song charts (lyrics + chords) numbering over 2000 songs now. Contact: linkedin.com/in/danielkottkeTwitter: @dkottke About the Hosts:Alysha Myronuk is the creator of the fun new word of myrony (my+irony) which are the crazy coincidences that happen in life that we can’t explain and is also another word for sign/synchronicity. Her life was fairly normal until she got into a car accident that triggered fibromyalgia at the age of 18 and had to deal with that very painful chronic condition along with many other life challenges including loss of both parents, marriage, divorce, suicide attempts, alcohol and prescription drug abuse and a full hysterectomy by the time she was 35. Alysha’s strong spiritual connection and tenacity is what helped her through those very dark days that lead into years at times. Later she realized the reason she went through those trying times was so she could help others struggling with life’s challenges and share the understanding of how to move forward.She now lives in San Jose, CA but still considers herself an East Coast girl at heart after growing up in Northern New Jersey and living in Delaware, Maryland and DC area for her entire life until she moved to California 8 years ago in 6 days which is a part of her myronic journey that helped her tap into her super power that she calls her “Spiritual Spidey Sense”. Thanks to her many careers which include hospitality & sales has allowed her to meet and work with so many different people but she is extremely excited to now be following her calling in life of sharing her concept of myrony by co-hosting “That’s Myrony” Podcast (www.ThatsMyrony.com/podcast-1) and also helping others through her spiritual coaching business “My Myrony” Mentoring where she is able to use her psychic gift of “knowing” also known as claircognizance to help...
