I think he always has been a suit: http://guykawasaki.com/about/index.shtml
He got his MBA, then got into evangelizing about Apple through a friend. I think I would count MBAs who evangelize about Apple as suits.
Edit: By the way, nothing about being a suit means you're not nice, of course. I would assume that most suits are probably nicer than most hackers, because it's the job of a suit to say nice things, while it's the job of a hacker to say true things.
- danielha 20y agoWell, I guess I meant it more in the sense that he's always been self-deprecating about being an MBA since he likes to promote the entrepreneur over the businessman. For a suit, he understands the culture pretty well.
- notabel 20y agoYeah, Guy Kawasaki is a great example of the maxim that what really matters is "getting it", not so much "being it". Even though he's no hacker (and makes no claim to be) he understand hackers, which has made him incredibly effective at interfacing with hackers--which is really the hard problem of what he does.
