Boris Mizhen Found Inspiration in Steve Jobs

New York, NY - December 10, 2019 /MarketersMedia/ —
Steve Jobs and computing will forever be linked together, though there’s no doubt that his creative entrepreneurship was the main key for his meteoric rise. Boris Mizhen, online entrepreneur, was inspired by the Apple co-founder and CEO Steve Jobs, especially Jobs’ ability to overcome seemingly insurmountable odds. Mizhen managed to achieve his own technology-related success.
“Perhaps what inspired me most about Steve Jobs was his strategic expertise,” Mizhen shared. This is a fact that cannot be disputed, as Jobs’ greatest strength is widely unknown by the public. At the time of Apple’s formation, Jobs was helping facilitate the development and sale of the Apple I computer. While the industry did take notice, it was the Apple II, which Jobs helped develop, that skyrocketed the company to fame and fortune. Boris Mizhen admires the earlier stories about Jobs’ enthusiasm and integrity and applies it to his own work ethic when building his business. Mizhen reveals “It is through Jobs’ lessons that I learned technical ability alone won’t ensure success in the technology field. The trick is to anticipate what the public wants and know how to provide it.”
Another trait of Jobs’ that Boris Mizhen has adopted is his unique business judgment. “History has shown that although his business decisions would not always result in immediate profits, his willingness to take risks due to a long-term vision resulted in great successes,” he notes. Apple’s haste to change direction and part ways with Jobs saw the company hit an all time low. However, his return to the company was the catalyst for Apple’s accession to the very top of the technology world. “His decision to branch out into developing or improving on software outside the company’s original focus no doubt terrified investors and shareholders,” Mizhen said. “But we all know the result of that bold business move!” Boris Mizhen has established himself as an authority in marketing strategy, online advertising, digital media, social media and a host of related fields due to the lessons learned from pioneers like Jobs. Mizhen is sure to add that mirroring Jobs’ ability to turn dreams into great successes was also reliant on one more trait: forward thinking. “A favorite quote I share with Jobs is by hockey great Wayne Gretzky: ‘I skate to where the puck is going to be, not where it has been.’ I always look ahead to see where the technology and the marketing world will head next and ensure I’ll already be there when it arrives!”
Boris Mizhen is a New York City-based real estate developer and entrepreneur, whose career launched when he developed a number of online advertising and marketing websites. Born with a strong business instinct, Mizhen learnt at a young age how to use every opportunity to his advantage. In addition to his online companies, Mr. Mizhen also manages numerous real estate properties across the North-East of the United States providing stable housing to families in different regions. He enjoys spending his extra time and energy by contributing to charities and organizations that offer help to those who need it most. By pursuing his passion in philanthropic causes, Boris Mizhen remains passionately involved with social activism across the world.

Malaysia’s Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim caused a bit of a stir in India recently with his spirited rendition of a Bollywood classic – a lighthearted moment that also neatly captured his broader push to deepen ties with the South Asian giant. A video of Anwar singing, from memory, Kishore Kumar’s 1965 hit ballad “Khwab Ho Tum Ya Koi Haqeeqat” (“Are you a dream or are you reality?”) was first posted to his social media accounts last Sunday before quickly being picked up by Indian news outlets.

Why AI giants are choosing Singapore to turn models into real-world tools
When Jordan Seow joined OpenAI in June 2025, he became the company’s first locally hired forward-deployed engineer in Asia-Pacific, joining a Singapore office that then had fewer than 20 employees.

Experts say the city state is emerging as a regional hub – not for training the latest AI models, but for the increasingly crucial task of deploying and adapting them...
Named as an enemy: Indonesia’s uneasy Aukus moment
A former Australian official’s use of a hypothetical “aggressive Indonesia” to make the case for Aukus at a public inquiry has been called “clumsy diplomacy” by analysts, who say the comments risk reviving old suspicions as Jakarta and Canberra try to strengthen security ties. Michael Pezzullo, a former deputy secretary of strategy in Australia’s defence department, made the remarks in testimony on September 2 to the Aukus Public Inquiry, an independent, crowdfunded review of the trilateral...

AI: 10 days that changed the course of artificial intelligence
For years, the race to build ever more powerful artificial intelligence followed a well-worn Silicon Valley principle: move fast and break things. But in a series of cascading events over a 10-day stretch, the largest AI labs found themselves reeling as their own creations threatened to break humanity itself. An Anthropic researcher quit the firm, warning that the pace of AI development poses an existential threat, possibly within a decade. Another researcher at the firm said the odds of human...
Malaysia’s Loke resigns as transport minister following Najib’s house arrest approval
A senior ally of Malaysia’s Anwar Ibrahim announced his resignation from cabinet on Saturday – a day after confidence in the prime minister’s administration took a severe hit when disgraced former leader Najib Razak was allowed to serve out his jail term under house arrest.

AI doesn’t just answer questions – it legitimises bad ones
Years ago, I watched a focus group explain itself into a contradiction. We asked people what mattered when choosing car insurance. Price won. The deductible came next. Reputation did not appear. During coffee, I asked the interviewer to change the question. How much cheaper would a less prestigious insurer have to be before they switched? One participant, who 15 minutes earlier ranked price first, said no discount was large enough. Nothing changed except how we asked the question. Something...
