From Tyrant to Tech Empire: The William Shockley Story | Business History Podcast

William Shockley was a brilliant inventor and a Nobel Prize winner, but he was a terrible boss. Paranoid, cruel, and obsessed with micromanaging, he drove away the team of young engineers he had assembled in Northern California. Those engineers—later known as “The Traitorous Eight”—quit and started their own company, pioneering silicon chips and laying the foundation for modern computing. Leaders like Robert Noyce and Gordon Moore went on to create Intel and AMD, while their network helped fund tech giants like Google and Slack. This is the story of how one bad boss accidentally sparked the tech revolution that became Silicon Valley. #siliconvalley #tech #techhistory #startups #techfounders Subscribe: Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...
