Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak was hospitalized in Mexico City on Wednesday, a source from the organizers of the World Business Forum (WBF), an event he attended in the country’s capital, told CNN En Español.
He seems like a really good guy, but the Woz U thing really doesn’t sit right with me. I was initially interested based on his name being attached to it, but the high pressure sales, the lack of substance, and the crazy high price really turned me off to it. I would really like to see him make some changes there, because I like the idea of it and think he had good intentions in helping create it. I don’t feel like he’s the type that’s just out for a quick buck.
Unfortunately, having worked for Woz U when it started up, I can tell you it definitely came off as a tactic for a quick buck. Woz wasn’t involved in the curriculum, branding, or anything material to the business - it was basically a licensing deal to use Woz’s likeness. The working conditions at that business were absolutely awful, just the worst sales culture and extremely demanding on the performance side even though we kept calling the same couple hundred people per rep without getting new leads. I felt awful bothering and pressuring people to sign up, but I also really needed the income as I had just gotten laid off prior to the job. The course itself was also quite bad, having several bugs and incomplete lessons ripe with incorrect information. It was really sad, honestly, as I also thought that due to Woz’s “involvement” that the product would actually be decent quality. I was unfortunately very wrong. You dodged a billet by not going with Woz U, friend.

Honestly this is pretty much any training of any kind for 10+ years now.
