[The Housing Helix Podcast] Guy Kawasaki, Author, Enchantment, Founder, Alltop.com, Garage Technology Ventures, Chief Evangelist Apple

I had the pleasure of speaking with Guy Kawasaki, former Chief (Software) Evangelist at Apple Computer in the early days of Macintosh – who has become a prolific author in addition to being a technology entrepreneur.  While I claim to avoid the self-help book genre, I realize I’ve read nearly all of his books.  Guy released his 10th book today: Enchantment: The Art of Changing Hearts, Minds and Actions.  Here are some reviews.

His first book, The Macintosh Way, is now a free download and was always one of my faves – because it came out as we were building our company, Miller Samuel, entirely by using Macs.  He later ran ACIUS, developer of 4th Dimension, the database application we ran for about 15 years to manage our data.

This was a pure treat for me as I got to talk about the early days of Apple, reminisced about Guy’s one word email technique (I shared my 15 second voicemail rule), his other ventures such as Alltop.com and Garage.com, the state of marketing today and how to make yourself enchanting.

Fun!

Got a hankering for, say, 17th-century baroque architecture and interiors but can't pry thy bottom off thy couch? What Google lacks in real estate it makes up for in Art Project, an initiative that allows users to tour some of the globe's finest museums via computer. To arrive at the famed Hall of Mirrors—we were jonesin' for some gilded sculptures today—we navigated a floorplan of the Palace of Versailles. It's also possible to search by painting or artwork; the list of museums includes the MoMA in NYC, the Uffizi in Florence, and the Met. File under: genius.
