Podcast Interview: Guy Kawasaki
So how do you score an interview with a business Icon like Guy Kawasaki? It's simple - just ask. I ran into Guy at the BlogWorld expo recently. I was impressed that his persona online and in his writings is exactly who he is in person. He gives meaning to the term nice "Guy". He's just plain funny as hell too.
Most know Guy as an early Apple team member evangelizing software, as a founder of Garage Technology Ventures, a best selling author and recently as a co-founder of Truemors and AllTop.Com. What you may not know is that Guy's father spent some time as a real estate broker in Hawaii. What was more interesting was the claim that Guy made in the interview to be the first person ever to buy a House using the Internet. While there's no way to stake claim for sure, the fact he found a home on the web over 13 years ago is definitely noteworthy! Real Estate is a growing category on Alltop. I recently submitted this blog and it was accepted into the "rack". I encourage anyone with a good real estate blog to submit it today.Guy and I also talked briefly about his new book being released on Oct. 30, Reality Check. Sounds like the perfect gift for the entrepreneur in your life!
Guy also stakes claim to the fact that he gets more out of Twitter than anyone else in the world. After hearing how he uses it as a "weapon", I think he may be right! The interview is 35 minutes of some of the most fun I've had all year. Thanks Guy!

Great job on this!
I really and truly enjoyed it. Typically, podcasts I'm used to hearing are ramblings by some guy with a lot of time on their hands. This, however was exceptional.
Awesome! Thats all I can write becuase I am listening to it again!
Mike - this was one of the best podcasts I've listed too. Guy seems truly genuine. Thanks for sharing!
I do wish you'd get off Blogger though! I can't ever read the damn captchas.
Man that was fun. Too much! I learned alot...let it be know...if you want deadly SEO...better write "Good Shit".
Seriously, thanks Mike, it was brilliant.

Thanks guys! Glad you liked it. Keep the comments coming people.
Request from a dinosaur reader.
Mike: As a non Apple fan boy and a dinosaur, I humbly request a usable button on Mike's Mic to right click "save as .mp3" for a non-ipod mp3 player. I know that iTunes is supposed to deliver an mp3 to a non Apple player, but this dinosaur is too stupid to figure it out.
Thanks,

Dinosaur? Please! :) The easiest way is to just use Firefox, IE7 or a feed reader that shows enclosures.
