Watch this episode to get a dose of humility, true humility, and listen closely to Guy’s words of wisdom. I took away so much from this conversation including what it means to be a brand evangelist, perfecting imperfection, and the definition of Guy’s Golden Touch. Guy talks about the relationship he had with Steve Jobs and the impact it made on Guy’s career, his role with Canva and his latest venture with MERGE4. 

In addition, we discuss honor, social media, live video and podcasting. We talk about Guy’s interview with Brian Rose in 2015 on London Real, but out of all the things he said in our conversation, this quote resonated most with me.

“Honor between people who are honorable is probably more important than paperwork between people who are dishonorable.”
