An honest speaker will tell you that she has “on” days and “off” days. The result of a truly “on” day is a standing ovation. I had a very “on” day at TiECon on May 13, 2006. This is the annual meeting of The Indus Entrepreneur organization.
I’ve provided postings of audio and video of my speeches that covered the topics of innovation and evangelism, but this is the first one of “The Art of the Start.” It’s the first one, frankly, because I’ve been waiting until I did it very—standing ovation—well.
Here are the PowerPoint slides that I was using that day. By the way, I am wearing an Anne Namba vest in this video. This is the company that makes the world’s most expensive Aloha shirts.
Here is the video in MP4 format in case you can’t use Google Video.
Guy,
I’m by now halfway through, yet just wanted to let you know you definitely were having an “on” day … great speech !
Alain
Guy,
I read your book and it is a great source of inspiration. Seeing you on stage is much more energizing so thank you very much for making this movie available!

Great keynote! And you were right. I did not get to see Schwarzenegger’s speech but I cannot imagine him providing as much valuable information as you did in your 60 compressed to 39 minutes. Thanks for sharing this valuable example of how to captivate an audience.
Great presentation, both in content and style! This could be a good material to show at the beginning of every MBA ;-)
Great presentation, Guy.
The link to your slides is broken, BTW. Doh!

Hey Guy, It was an excellent speech, I totally enjoyed it. Prior to listening to you, I wrote on my blog about creating value with my products for my customers and not bunch of fluff. I thought you said it all so well in one word – “Meaningful”. The business proposition got to be meaningful to people’s lives. Thnx!
Fantastic stuff – cheered me up massively today! Thanks Guy for making sure all the Bozos can now be easily detected!
Thank you for putting that on your blog – it’s an amazing resource (and I already have the book – now maybe I’ll read it!).
They should’ve let you keep going (although it looked like they were going to get physical toward the end – bah you could take ’em!).
I’m off to write my mantra – Ciao
*********************
Someday TIE will figure out that I’m good enough to have a keynote session. This wasn’t a “main session.” For that, you have to be either the governor or the CEO of a big company.
Alas, I’m under-utilized…woe is me. :-)
Guy
Great speech thanks for posting it. Looks like you were having fun which I’m sure helps have an “on” day.
Oh nice watch, I’m a watch junkie, same as Richard Branson wears from time to time.

Thanks. I have a new Breitling. It’s the latest Aerospace. I like it because the digital readout is now back lit!

Wow Guy you were on fire! That was a rock star performance. I’m gonna organize a screening of this video at my college public speaking society.
Bold, witty and entertaining to the core. I’m convinced, you’re a master at public speaking Guy!
Guy, that was wonderful. I just made all of my employees watch that! I think you should be careful not to pronounce nuclear the way that you did. (I am a pedant)
Nothing like that fresh sheet of ice (errr… company).
The early point about making meaning (although a hard phrase to say/parse) is a key one. Given that VC pitches have “standardized” on a format (15 minutes, 10 slides, 30pt font, $100M in 5years, “exit events”) the differentiation comes from the meaning and the presenter’s honest belief in that meaning.
Great talk!
Great talk Guy !
I’m really impressed by your performance.
Sten
Great talk, very engaging, and humorous. I finished your book a few months ago and I think it’s excellent. I myself just launched what I hope will become my magnum opus, Woven. I follow your blog and hope to continue the conversation. :)
Love it! Pure Kawasaki!
Absolutely the most entertaining video I’ve watched in weeks. Guy Kawasaki is the master of public speaking. It was good all the way through but it really got good at the point where the angry little man told Guy he had four minutes.
“What are you gonna do, not invite me back?”
Someday I’m actually going to figure out how to implement everything Guy says and start my own business.
Smittie
Great speech Guy. Do you think that the your delivery of the speech was enhanced by the time constraint? Because of having 40 minutes as opposed to your customary hour, the speech was more rapid-fire and thus carried more intensity?
Guy,
Just curious, can I download the video so that I can watch it again and again. I love to watch your presentation, FANTASTIC.
Good job, Guy
For those that don’t listen to the very end of this excellent presentation, Guy basically says his family is worth a Billion dollars using a real-world example when he had a shot of being CEO of Yahoo … very classy comment.
alek
If you would like to download the video, google has options for doing so. Just go to http://video.google.com and do a search on Guy Kawasaki. Its the first video on the list. The iPod version is an mpg.4 that will be a second generation compression, so it won’t look that great, but it will work.
Guy,
Invigorating speech! I found your site a couple months ago when I was looking for public speaking tips for a work presentation I was giving. I was suprised to find more interesting information than I expected. I work as a civil/enviromental engineer designing wastewater facilities at a public works agency. I always dream about one day trying to venture out on my own and work for myself and family. Thanks for all the education and inspiration that you provide on your site.
Guy:
You woke me up with your presentation! It was so fun to see you speak and to hear you personally explain what you cover in the Art of the Start. I am somewhat of a presentation junkie (for good presenters anyway) and I delighted at seeing your unpretentious, informative and humorous style at work. Since I have been working from home for more than a year now to take care of my baby, I had a pang of “worksickness” as I remembered what it was like to be in a room full of interested and fired up people. The video got me close!
I did cringe for awhile there as you explained the dreaded “faciliator” that helped create crappy mission statements. Thank God I am not telling people to “fall back” anymore or covering my hands in 5 shades of permanent marker. In fairness, not ALL offsites are meaningless, but I do heartily endorse the “mantra” vs. the “mission.”
I wanted to track back to this post on my blog … did you turn off trackbacks? If so, I’ll just include the permalink.
Thanks for firing me up to write for a few more hours tonight. How nice to witness passion and heart in business.
Fantastic, good job from you
Hi Guy, altought I wasn’t able to fully understand your speech, too fast and with some words I couldn’t catch, let me congratulate to you for your stunning presentation. It was nice to listen to all the interesting things you blogged here in the last few months (10-20-30 rule, bozosity, and so on), along with your personal decisions. If more CEOs would act like you, I think that the job for more employees would be really much better.
Thanks again.
Greetings from Italy!
Mandi
Great speech as always Guy.
I thought that you were a true gentleman who showed grace under fire. And I also thought it was pathetic and shortminded that the people running the conference were more interested in keeping to their schedule than keeping their audience entertained and informed.
Would it have killed the guy to let you finish in a relaxed, professional, mannor?
Well done again,
-Andrew
What turned a routine presentation into an exceptional engagement was the guy who kept reminding you of how long you have left or ran over the time. A synergy between the two of you developed in which the audience was rooting for you while the conference heads where “against” you. The tug of war that developed especially around the end couldn’t have been better conceived ;-)
What I liked most was the confidence you showed in the situation because of your position in life (financial & personal). You are not some speaker who NEEDS the presentation to pay down his mortgage, you are there because you WANT to be there. This differentiates you from many of the “professional speakers” out there whose income and self esteem come from the presentation while for you, it is probably treated as a bonus.

Hi Guy,
I believe this speech is a 100% you – it is what comes through when I read your book(s).
… and to all readers: what do you wait for – get the link to the speech out to the world :-) maybe, if everyone (well … many …) listen to it we will really be able to make the world a better place.
Ahhh … now you are wondering who says this :-) nobody special, it’s just me :-)

Guy! You are AWESOME, simply awesome.
You inspired me, and I won’t forget you when we go public ;)
Thank you for such a useful talk!
wow. you changed my life 12 times in under 40 minutes. I’m adding you to my list of heros. Thanks for being you! -and sharing your awesomeness with the world.

Guy:
Just a suggestion: perhaps you should take out the issue of not being able to program the clock on a VCR as an example of why you need to flatten the learning curve in order to to have a workable entrepeneurial idea/product that people will buy.
Maybe I’m wrong but, I didn’t think the inability of folks to set the clock on their VCRs really stiffled the market for VCRs. Did it?
I see an awful lot of VCRs in people’s houses – despite the fact that they are all blinking “12:00” all day, every day.
Great speech, though!
Guy, do you have any plans to release your books as books on tape? I do a lot of driving and am always looking for a good book to listen to while I am on the road. If you haven’t looked into this yet, I think it would be a great idea.
While I’m sure it hurts to have turned down Yahoo, let’s not forget that many, many other opportunities come up that turn out to be companies that contribute to the infant mortality stats for new ventures. There’s no way to know which one of a thousand .coms is going to turn out to be Google or Ebay.

Guy,
Very nice lecture, except for the part where you say you don’t care about returns but rather look for “meaning”.
That sounds like the ramblings of a rich VC, but when it comes down to it, you’re not going to invest in meaning if you don’t think you’ll get a 10x return
Can you make this available in QuickTime (mp4, mov, etc.)?
My Comcast connection is so bad I can’t stream it. I’m trying to download it using Google video, but it’s not working so well, and I really don’t want to have YA video player.
Why can’t Google just make a codec for QuickTime (like Flip4Mac did for WMV). Real, are you listening?
Guy,
I think that the second billion it still before you. Believe me. Be aware of people who say something different, they are hidden bozos ;-)
Thank you for posting video of this speech! I’m not an entrepreneur but I really enjoyed it.
Hey Guy/team,
Google Video is not yet available in China (and probably other countries). If you could post this in a downloadable format, you would gain much appreciation on this side of the pacific!

guy – i have heard so much about his speech from so many different people – that i had to see it. You need to give this in downloable format. Even though i am on a wifi in a london hotel (which is assume is better than our connections in India) – still the video pauses every 5 seconds.
Cheers

Great performance, Guy.
Just as inspiring as when I saw you at Reboot in Copenhagen almost eight years ago.
Still using the light bulb joke I see. ;-)
Cheers,

Guy as an entrepreneur I loved your presentation and jotted notes…as a professional speaker I was distracted by language that would offend someone in the audience. You wasted the first 7 minutes of your presentation warming up-after that you were on fire!
I was there and it was electrifying! And I also saw you leave the auditorium with a huge grin… you enjoyed it it as much as everyone did, didn’t you?
thanks guy – you helped me remember what I most liked about my job and why I felt like I was missing something…. that part of it has changed. It was that whole evangelist/change the world part. Apparently gone. Guess I learned what to look for in the next gig. (I work to support my real passion…)
Dear Ryan Petersen,

Thank You Guy.

Great talk.

I didn’t get the point that you were making about the washing machines in the hotel. Were you saying that the hotel was doing the right thing because they knew that they personally wouldn’t use a laundry service? Or, were you saying they were wrong because nobody would want to do their own laundry in a hotel?
What comes through besides your insight & humor is your humanity & genuine concern for helping others. God Bless.
Mr. Kawasaki,
THANK YOU! I received copy of your vid feed via one of my franchisees. I am growing a brand new Fitness Center Franchise here on the East Coast, and your talk was not only entertaining, and informative, but it splashed a bit of “umph” in my entrepreneurial spirits. I instinctively grabbed a pen and scratch paper and took several pages of notes that I truly believe will be useful to my company and its growth. YOURE AWESOME!
Thanks Guy!
I’m from Portugal and I saw your presentation via google. It’s been long since I’ve experienced such an inspiring speech. I also took notes while listening to you. You made me smile and you made me believe in myself more. Thanks and I LOVE TECHNOLOGY!
Truly Inspiring, Thanks for doing what you do.

Guy: You were awesome. I’m not a business person, only an Apple/Mac fanatic. Your speech was personal and funny and honest. Really enjoyed it.
Awesome! Anyone who has been to a Guy Kawasaki keynote knows he is going to go over his time limit. Drives the coordinators nuts, but the crowd just loves it.

More information, than in two day seminar.

I forwarded this video on to my MBA class and at least a dozen people told me how great this speech was. At first they saw it was 40 mins and almost forgot about it — but after 2 mins of listening, they were hooked and watched the whole thing and almost watched it again!
Seriously…you need to visit our MBA program and infect those MBAs you make fun of with more of your thinking!!

Guy,
I am a huge fan of yours, and I was simply blown away by your video, and posted it on my blog, and I have gotten more responses to your video than I’ve gotten for my own content :-)
However, I did want to share with you one very surprising (but funny) opinion of a user, who obviously knows frighteningly little English, but still very unapologetically slams you for a lot of things, including your choice of words (“adigitives”, the person writes).
Here’s a snippet: The person writes:
“I am stunned. If you wast an oppinion, I of this speaker I am going to give it to you.
“He Sucks” Yes I am surprised you use him as an example of your traing.
Here are my reasons.
He reads from his notes
He gets laughs by puting people down.
He snipes other companies.
His choice of adigitives is crude…
”
No, I’m not slamming my own visitor. I’m just trying to point out that everyone does have an opinion, even if they truly have no right to one at times ;-)

Great presentation… very practical, yeah, like your motto. The fact that, Guy, you are very candid and honest about what you said is certainly worth anyone’s time to watch this video. Well, Guy, like you , I wish that someday, sometime, our hindsights (our mistakes, and lessons from such mistakes) could be someone’s foresights, so that in some way it could make a differences in what they do.
Truly a very good speech.This shows that experience is more important than just bookish knowledge.

SalesForce.com and Google, together, made the front page of the Wall Street Journal yesterday. Good timing with their SalesForce.com Developer Conference which was also held yesterday and I was a fortunate attendee. SalesForce.com is not saying anythin…
Sztuka rozpoczynania
Jak kiedyś stwierdził premier Leszek Miller (i zapewne nigdy nie zostanie mu to zapomniane) – mężczyznę poznaje się po tym jak kończy. Jednak warto zwrócić także uwagę na to jak się rozpoczyna

Guy,
I was googling “video presentations” in hopes of finding some information that would help me to freshen my presentations in worship. The search engine gave me your blog and suddenly a light came on. A few months back while reading Entrepreneur magazine, there was a section featuring YOU talking about start-ups and related venture capital issues. You were brutal, blunt and I now think: dead on point. That article stayed with me. It may seem strange that a churchmen would be interested in entrepreneurial subject matter, but I have an entrepreneurial and evangelical soul (and by the latter I don’t mean the denomination! lol). My church is a start-up to which I am attempting to apply solid yet “fluid” business practices and principles; especially as it regards reaching the current generation and young people. Some “experts” are saying that powerpoint presentations are dying a slow death in terms of general business, and in this case,the church’s use of the same with the younger generation. Even the older folk are supposedly less attuned to powerpoint (if they ever were!). I’m wondering how the principles you espouse can freshen/empower my presentations through the use of technology, 2. how can i identify the type of and best equipment suited for presentation, 3. how can I make my “product”, which is the bible and other Christian related principles more “attractive” across the generational sphere thereby activating and maintaining growth in the ministry over the long term? Tall order, I know. Indeed, this may be out of your domain, but I can clearly see the value of and the ability to apply your “methods of evangelism” to new church start-ups because, like it or not, they are indeed businesses. Finally, I’m a WINDOWS guy greatly interesed in the Apple/MacIntosh platform. Perhaps, you or someone reading this blog can tell me how I can be “SAVED”, (lol). All I can say re: ART OF THE START video is: WOW! and thanks
Hi,Ladys and Gentlemen! Here i want to say thank you for www.cycbiz.com.On the help of this website i received many orders from USA.Thanks again.
Convergence EMEA 2007
Convergence EMEA 2007 concluded today at Copenhagen. I presented Enterprise Portal session yesterday
Guy, you just made my day!
I came home late worn out from a long typical day, watched your sppech, giggled, and finally stood up clapping loud with full of admire. Yes, in my home in front the computer. ;D Your speech was just great enough to wake my wife and daughter up in the middle of night even at the other side of the earth(Korea)! ;D Even though I could understand your speech around 95% only as a foreigner and so would my employees, I would definitely play this again for my co-workers. ^^ Thank you!!!
Amazing stuff Guy.
