Podcast Interview with Venture Capitalist, Guy Kawasaki, Chairman and Managing Director of Garage Technology Ventures

I caught Guy’s keynote presentation at a forum for entrepreneurs seeking "Angel" funding (early stage seed capital). He kept me laughing throughout since he cuts through the hype and gives it to you straight—all the right things you should be doing if you want to get investment. You know the startups presenting [and seeking funding] after his keynote have broken Guy’s rules so you can almost hear them frantically thinking---hmmm, how can I NOT look stupid?

In this podcast, Guy talks about venture funding and his latest passion, blogging. There’s a time/topic index if you want to hop around though I recommend you listen to the entire piece.

Thank you,
Stephen Ibaraki

    If you get a chance to catch him in person Wil, take the opportunity. His perspective is at times unique so it catches your attention--and he's funny.

    I have been giving Guy links to the interview as they appear through different channels. Previously, Guy provided a career tip with an edge for a conference I was speaking at. I'll likely provide it here in my Career tips series. Watch for it! :-)
