Guy Kawasaki and his blog, “How to Change the World”

Upon looking for some interesting business blogs to read, I recently stumbled upon Guy Kawasaki’s blog: How to Change the World. His most recent post revolves around “The Art of Evangelism”. This title right there and then caught my attention and put me in a position of confusion; a business blog that discusses the topic of converting people into Christianity? I had to look into it some more… What I learned is that the Greek definition of evangelism means “to announce good news” or to be “made aware”/”brought up to date”. Perhaps for others the meaning is obvious, but for myself it definitely left a questionable impression in my mind. Now that I am evangelized of the interpretation Kawasaki was going for, let me tell you a bit more about this successful business man.

Kawasaki has written twelve books, was an advisor to the Motorola business unit of Google and chief evangelist of Apple. He is a very well accomplished man, and his blog, How to Change the World, gives a unique insight to business for entrepreneur from a venture capitalist perspective. For me, I find that his blog is quite technology based as well, which isn’t surprising given his background with Google and Apple.

What I loved about his blog was the structure of his posts. He would include extremely useful tips on the topic being discussed, and elaborates in fine detail what he means by each recommendation. A great read for those of you who are tech-savvy, and have a entrepreneur/VC mindset.
