If there is one thing common between ‘Iron’ Mike Tyson and the late Steve Jobs, it would be that both were masters of their craft. One fought numerous battles in the square ring and emerged victorious to become the best Heavyweight champion. The other brought unparalleled innovation to the tech world. But in a recent turn of events, a Neuroscientist unveiled a shocking fact about Jobs that left even the legend Mike Tyson in disbelief.
It rarely ever happens that someone like Steve Jobs makes his way into the boxing world. But when he does, it never fails to intrigue everyone. In a similar situation, Mike and his guest found themselves discussing humans and their need for social interaction. How does Steve Jobs fit into this narrative?
