About This Conversation
Successful and interesting people's careers may seem simple and practical when they are reverse engineered and deconstructed from hindsight. However, to the people in the driver's seat, it doesn't often feel that way. Guy Kawasaki, evangelist marketing specialist, author, Silicon Valley venture capitalist, and now host and creator of "Guy Kawasaki's Remarkable People Podcast," has had a long and ranging life. It is hard for one to draw a connection between counting diamonds, Mr. Kawasaki's first job, and working with Steve Jobs at Apple. The reason: there isn't a connection besides his varying interests and luck. In this episode, we dive into what it was like working with Steve Jobs as well as Mr. Kawasaki's advice for young people just starting their careers. That's not even including the fascinating subtopics that are hit in between!
