Hillsborough Doughboy, relationship between chimpanzees and American politicians + more

Guy Kawasaki has a simple yet humorous way of writing in his #NewBook (Available 2/26), #WiseGuy, that will resonate with #GenX, #Millennials or #GenZ alike. I don’t recall any other book where you will see the mention of roasted duck flying into your mouth and get answer to the college class in which President Barack Obama got a B grade. It paints a picture that you don’t have to be #SteveJobs, #MahatmaGandhi, #Mozart or #Einstein for people to remember you. The book brings in Guy’s experience in a unique way by connect them to interesting out of the world happenings, for example tracer bullets from an A-10 Warthog. Guy is also not shy of talking critically about US politics. My favorite part of the book was about the thesis of paying it forward and an interesting story about his days at Garage.com and their encounter with the ‘big dog’. The book includes insights about speaking business and writing books. As a reminder, you will also learn about the Hillsborough Doughboy, the difference between chicken and roosters as well as the relationship between chimpanzees and American politicians. One last thing , I’m glad Guy Kawasaki in the book agrees that #California girls are beautiful and I 100% agree with him. Shaka symbol here! #surf #business #Apple
