132. Guy Kawasaki: Conventional Business Wisdom That's Actually Wrong
from Inspiring People: Stories of Innovation and Service · host The Rotary eClub of Silicon Valley
This week's speaker is someone many of us have followed for decades. Guy Kawasaki is the chief evangelist of Canva, host of the Remarkable People podcast, author of Wiser Guy, Think Remarkable, and sixteen other books, and adjunct professor at UC Santa Cruz. He was the chief evangelist of Apple, trustee of the Wikimedia Foundation, and brand ambassador of Mercedes-Benz. Kawasaki has a BA from Stanford University, an MBA from UCLA, and an honorary doctorate from Babson College.In this talk, Kawasaki takes aim at the so-called "rules" of business that sound wise but often mislead. From "fail fast" to "growth at all costs," he shows how these maxims can backfire when applied blindly.Instead of chasing clichés, Kawasaki urges leaders to think critically, weigh context, and focus on sustainable success. This talk reframes innovation and growth with nuance, clarity, and a dose of reality.To learn more about our speaker, go to:https://guykawasaki.com/https://guykawasaki.com/remarkable-people/
