BLOG #90. Congratulations to Stephen Ambrose!
Six degrees of separation is the idea that all people on average are six, or fewer, social connections away from each other. Also known as the 6 Handshakes rule.
In this case - between Brian Johnson of AC/DC and me - it's just two.
My most sincere congratulations to Stephen Ambrose of Asius Technologies for helping Brian to overcome his hearing loss!
I collaborated with Stephen on some new developments for the StereoPravda SPearphone project (which ones I can't tell yet as I' m under NDA).
Stephen's endorsement segment in this Brian Johnson's interview – the link is here - starts at 5:10. Read more…
