Martin Cooper, Cellphone Founder & Author

Cell phones are as much a part of our DNA as driving, and we wouldn’t leave home without them. Let’s fact it,
everything from phone numbers to our bank accounts are stored in there, and without it, we’d be lost.
Well, on our show today, we speak with the brilliant engineer who invented the first cell phone and the first to use his
invention on the streets of New York, Martin Cooper, Martin is a brilliant engineer and author who recently penned
the book, “Cutting the Cord,” about what went on behind the scenes in corporate and political world before the cell
phone became mainstream. He takes us on a ride from drawing board to every day use, and his story is fascinating.
We also talk about how the cell phone not only revolutionized the entire world, but how it can be the key to future
innovations and global equity.
