Aldo speaks with Guy Kawasaki about all the challenges that he
encountered in his 30 years career path as a Chief
Evangelist and we speak about why he considers his Podcast
‘Remarkable People’ to be his best writing project to date.
Guest Introduction:
I am relatively new to the exciting world that is called
Podcasting. Thus far it has been a wonderful adventure speaking to
so many different and very interesting guests. Editing our
interviews to perfection, adding the music, writing up the show
notes and then rolling the drums on social media and to our
community to make sure the world knows who we are.
I, for one, absolutely love it and - even though it is still very
early days with Episode 10 of our first season - I do believe I
have found a new passion.
But my next guest excels in it.
His Podcast series ‘Remarkable People’ is an oasis of calm in the
ever growing desert of rapid, virtual byte-sized information that
is flying around us. As a listener of Remarkable
People you are allowed to take a bit more time and to
listen. Genuinely listen and then reflect.
Its host Guy Kawasaki is known for a LOT more than just this
podcast. Former Chief Evangelist at Apple, Current Chief Evangelist
at Canva, author of 15 books such as The Art of the Start 2.0, The
Art of Social Media, Enchantment and Wise Guy.
Guy is also known as a Venture Capital investor and lectures as an
Executive fellow of the Haas School of Business at UC Berkeley and
adjunct professor of the University of New South Wales.
Loads of things to do - all next to being a father of four and
undoubtedly being a loving husband to his wife
Beth.
Personally I would describe Guy as an absolute ‘gentleman’. Someone
who has managed to create this big-hearted online
omnipresence that makes us all feel good.
Guy speaks and writes with a lot of grace and style but in a very
grounded and approachable way. He is also focussed on genuinely
adding value to any conversation he is involved in - sharing
something new and positive with the millions of people who follow
him on social media or listen to his Podcast.
Guy Kawasaki very much deserves all the buzz that is going on
around him and yes, yes - I also want to be a Guy Kawasaki when I
grow up.
But my guest remains very normal through all of this soberly
answering the following to a New York Times journalist curious to
find out his secret.
“Success in business comes from the willingness to grind it out.
It’s not because of the brilliant idea. It’s because you are
willing to work hard. That’s the key to my success.”
Wise words spoken by a wise guy.
Mr. Kawasaki a very warm welcome!
