Chip & Guy

Chip: I’m continuing my conversation with bestselling author and Apple evangelist Guy Kawasaki. You believe that it’s important to “always default to yes,” but how do we do that when our calendar is already full? Aren’t we supposed to become more discerning and a better editor as we age?

Chip: It’s great to have you join me on our daily blog, Guy. I’ll ask you a few questions over the next couple days and hopefully we’ll all be wiser for it. Psychologist Carol Dweck says that a fixed mindset focused on proving oneself while a growth mindset is all about improving oneself. Why is her book, “Mindset,” one of your favorite books and how has it made a difference in your life?

More than 35 years ago, Guy Kawasaki popularized the word evangelist in marketing Apple’s Macintosh as an "Apple evangelist," and he became one of the world’s best known marketers. He’s a bestselling author of 15 books, a venture capitalist, and, most important to me, someone learning to surf around age 60.
