Summary

In 1994, Nathan Schulhof had the vision of giving people the ability to download music content to wireless devices by using their personal computers as the distribution centers. Just a few years later, he took that vision and helped turn it into a reality. Today, he is well-regarded as the inventor of the Mp3 player and is the author of Father of the Mp3 Player: Lessons in Business and Life.
Currently, Schulhof works as an advisor to upcoming tech companies. He offers a wealth of advice for new entrepreneurs, and ultimately aims to utilize and develop technology in a way that improves people's lives. Most recently, Schulhof has been exploring a particular interest in solar energy innovations and implementation in developing countries.
