Guy Kawasaki
Portfolio Hardcover, 2008
A veteran tech entrepreneur, venture capitalist, and commentator on Silicon Valley culture offers real-world advice on how the best companies are started, funded, and run. Though the diversity of topics gives this audio a stream-of-consciousness flow, the material actually covers many complicated topics with cohesion. The advice, all of it succinct and immediately digestible, is on every start-up challenge imaginable from organizing venture-capital presentations to hiring, collaborating, marketing, and managing talent. The author s blunt opinions and colloquial language make listening a breeze. Paul Boehmer s energetic reading contributes to the author s streetwise vibe. Boehmer’s quick pacing and smart-aleck tone are good vehicles for pouring out Kawasaki s potent no-nonsense advice

The Art of the Start: The Tune-Tested, Battle-Hardenend Guide for Anyone Starting Anything
Guy Kawasaki
Portfolio Hardcover, 2004
This book is a weapon of mass construction. My goal was to provide the definitive guide for anyone starting anything. It builds upon my experience as an evangelist, entrepreneur, and most recently, as a venture capitalist who found, fixed, and funded startups.
The book is as relevant for two guys in a garage starting the next Google as social activists trying to save the world. GIST: cuts through the theoretical crap, theories and gets down to the real-world tactics of pitching, positioning, branding, recruiting, bootstrapping, and rainmaking.
