A few years ago, maybe even a decade say 2005 or 2006 I wrote an email to Guy about a project I was on at that time. It was to do with travel and learning. I asked him straight up for an investment and make a huge long pitch. While he obviously did not invest in my nascent idea at that point. But just knowing that he looked into it and gave me his feedback meant I was not totally shit. Since, i’ve followed him over several videos and articles, blogs etc and I think he’s probably one of the most ‘bang on’ dudes of our times. Very well in the league with only a few other of the past generation.
Just for my notice, in SharkTank, the sharks often ask about "Do you have patent on this?". And I heard it much more than enough in each episode of the show. It has the weights to consider there too.
Hi Guy - I love your energy and advice so in taking the advice I would like to pitch to you my Dog Food company that realistically will be set up to produce two cans of dog food per day. Given we won´t be able to sell any because of the oligopolistic nature of the market and economies of scale I will then buy one can for my dog and since I will get no profits - eat the other myself. Would you scale up this pitch?
Ok now you want to punch my face? Well why would I be crazy from some Berkeley people. I like working working is fun all my friends are there and I get paid for it. Helen Lee met her husband at work. So don’t know what you’re talking about.

Why did he always talk about the suck & long stuff all the time?
Kawasaki and Hillary Clinton... sorry guy, you hitched your wagon to her?? Sad
Mark Morlock maybe he knew something which is coming to light now about Dumpf
Or maybe he is just like so many other herd thinkers: It was the popular thing to do in his circle.
