About this ebook
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.

Making the Steve Jobs Movie - Joe Mancuso
PREFACE
Jobs
(stylized as jOBS) is a 2013 biographical drama film based on the career of late American businessman, Steve Jobs, from 1971 to 2011, produced by Mark Hulme. The CEO Clubs, of which Hulme is a member, is a group of CEOs that has been together for more than three decades and acts as a mutual board of advisers for one another. In mid-October, 2012, Hulme was joined in Santa Fe, New Mexico by fifteen other CEO Clubs members from various unrelated businesses, during which he gave a detailed talk relating his experiences in making the jOBS film.
Mark is a first-time film producer, and had no experience in the film industry prior to the making of jOBS. Like his peers at the meeting, he is a lifelong entrepreneur, and just how his film came about is a fascinating tale of the American entrepreneurial spirit. In addition, the reaction and advice from his buddies makes for an exhilarating documentary.
Where did he find the script? Who is this unknown writer? What part did Craig’s List play in the making of Hulme’s feature? How did he attract Ashton Kutcher to play Steve Jobs? What role did Mark Hulme’s family play in the making of the film?
The USA is unique in the world, in that it’s our entrepreneurial culture that is the envy of the world. This documentary is a testament to that.
Stay hungry. Stay foolish. Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma—which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.

INTRODUCTION
America’s Ecological Entrepreneurial Culture
A hundred years ago Henry Ford, Thomas Edison, John Burroughs, Harvey Firestone used to meet at the Wayside Inn in Sudbury, Massachusetts. Today, groups like our CEO Clubs continue to bring CEOs together to make money and have fun while we are learning
. The USA is unique in the world, and it’s our entrepreneurial culture that is the envy of the world.
I have taken over 1000 CEOs to other countries, mostly China, to do business. Do you think any of these countries want to copy our legal system? Or our political system? Or our movie system? The answer is no. But they do envy our educational system; many foreign students opt to get their education in the USA. But it is not simply the colleges and universities which hold appeal. It is what surrounds our
