YZ Yuanzhe Fu + YY Yuyan Wang, founders of YUVC are joined by Guy Kawasaki, the Wise Guy, on the YUVC Podcast.

Guy is on a mission to make people remarkable. He is the co-author of Think Remarkable, the definitive guide to murdering your mediocrity, and the host of the Remarkable People podcast. He's also the chief evangelist of Canva and the ex-chief evangelist of Apple.

Guy’s new book, Think Remarkable, is out! Check it out!

Highlights:

YY: To become more remarkable people, which is better for me as a founder or VC to get an MBA?
Guy: I will tell you that to be a tech entrepreneur, an MBA is not necessary nor it's sufficient. It's two years out of your life where you could be building your product or service.

YY: Could you elaborate a bit more on how you would tailor content to the Remarkable guys?
Guy: I probably prep four to five hours for every episode. Many times the guest is coming on with a new book, so I have to read the new book. And when I start an interview, typically I have a sheet of paper with 20 to 30 questions ready to go.

YZ: Which stage of the three stages in your book, Growth, Great, and Grease, is more difficult for you in your personal development?
Guy: Well, first, I think grace has been the easiest. When you get to be 60, 70 years old, all the crap has been beaten out of you. So it gets easier. I would say the grit phase was probably the hardest. It just takes dedication and it just takes not giving up.
