Kawasaki is not only the author of the inspiringly titled blog How to
Change the World, but he has also penned nine books on various
business and marketing topics. After attending college at Stanford and
receiving his MBA from UCLA, Kawasaki cut his business teeth at a
jewelry manufacturer called Nova before eventually being bitten by the
"computer bug."
After a brief stint at an educational software company, Kawasaki was hired by Apple where he was responsible for marketing the original Macintosh computer in 1984. After the success seen at Apple in the mid-80s, Kawasaki left and started his own software and database development companies, Fog City Software and ACIUS.
Following a short return to Apple in 1995 "to maintain and rejuvenate the Macintosh cult," Kawasaki started Garage Technology Ventures, an early-stage seed fund, with Craig Johnson and Rich Karlgaard in 1997. Today, Kawaski is the Managing Director at Garage, and the co-founder of Alltop, which he describes as "an online magazine rack".
