Awesome info. Between This dude and the book "E Myth" it just confirms what I didn't know but realize know when I set out to start my business. I love when it when I say, "hey that's me he's talking/ reading about!"
Listen Universe, My Goal is to clear, The 2025 SSC CGL exam with AIR 32 to get the post of Income Tax Inspector. Oh! Wow! I have cleared SSC CGL 2025 exam and became an Income Tax Inspector. I am celebrating, I am dancing, I am very happy and feeling very satisfied and excited. Thank you so much, Universe. Thank you so much, God. Thank you, Mummy, Papa, and Bhaisab for always supporting me. Thank you to all the living and non-living things for supporting and helping me.
This is a valuable video, once the real content starts it has very salient points. I do find it ironic that he says "don't start with who you are"...after he does exactly that.
Why does everybody talk about mistakes stuff ?? why they don't give what made them great and successful ? cause this one hurt right, it is the secret formula that they want to keep for themselves..
A lot of conflicting statements, Apple are holding many patents just to protect their own interest. To walk the talk, suggest to remove all Apple patents, not just NATO and do differently in real life.

Legend
He is so likeable and I can't believe he is 61!!!
That comment about Jackie Chan had me like 😂 😂 ✌🏼✌🏼
Guy starts at 1:37
Totally suggested haha
***** if a speech works, repeat it. =)
“You not gonna die because you scaled too fast, you gonna die for having a poor reputation to deliver”.
What a great speech! Priceless lessons here for entrepreneurship. Thanks Guy you are an inspiration!
This is an amazing video. Patent point was prescient - felt like he was speaking directly to me! Also the 1% vs bottom up thing 💯
Focusing on the pitch has worked wonders for the ICO era

Dead on. Tinder vs E-harmony metaphor is the real deal...
We're putting out interview with Sean Rad of Tinder up soon, actually!
This is a valuable video, once the real content starts it has very salient points. I do find it ironic that he says "don't start with who you are"...after he does exactly that.
He is not pitching.
The art of start 2.0
Brilliant

Mistake 7 is not a mistake.... It's the Venture capitalist speaking....
A lot of conflicting statements, Apple are holding many patents just to protect their own interest. To walk the talk, suggest to remove all Apple patents, not just NATO and do differently in real life.
Jackie Chan as Guy Kawasaki -- best casting idea ever!
Mistake 11 ;China has 1.3 billion people not 6 billion
Dogs eat dog food. I am sure there is a deep message somewhere in this.
What company has this guy built? He’s more a writer than an entrepreneur as far as I can tell
Joe Yeh what does that have to do with anything?
I think back in 80s he sold Macs to developers and thus helped Steve Jobs build Apple brand.
