Autograph of 'The Art of the Start' by Guy Kawasaki - "Kick Butt and Change the World!"



"Kick Butt and Change the World!" A couple of Saturdays ago (July 5th), thank you to Neenz who works for Guy, a bunch of us got a chance to hang out with Guy Kawasaki for a couple of hours poolside during sunset at the Waikiki Prince Hotel. Guy is an author (I think 8 books now), venture capitalist (founder of Garage Ventures), and founder of truemors.com and his most recent startup alltop.com. You might be able to find a uStream recording of the gathering at Neenz's blog at http://www.faleafine.com/?p=171.


Guy's latest book "The Art of the Start" is one of my favorites (though there is a rumor of another one in the works!) and is the bible in my marketing group. We have several copies at Oceanit. My personal copy I gave to a good friend in Japan on one of our last trips so Lianne went out to Borders and bought me a copy. But unfortunately as we rushed out of the house to meet Guy, I forgot to grab it. But Guy is cool and so we meet up at the airport car rental the next day, he jump in my car, we headed to departures, and we got to chat as he autographed my copy. So mahalo Guy. Catch you on Twitter, and hopefully again in Hawaii. Aloha, Ian
