Start spreading Truemors with Guy Kawasaki

  • 0 min read

Recently, Guy Kawasaki introduced me to his new entrepreneurship venture called Truemors.  He explained how the goal with Truemors is to democratize and spread information.  First, from a “citizen journalist/editor” perspective it enables people to “tell the world”—within the bounds of good taste and the law anyway. Second, from a reader perspective, it puts you “in the know” about the latest news, rumors, and happenings, so that “you know better” without having to spend hours every day searching for information.  As for how this connects with the fine art of personal branding, you will notice that many of the truemors reflect how people act and are portrayed to society.  One great example is one I just read entitled “And Worst Mother of the Year Goes to.”  Who would want that title?  Either way, Guy has found the perfect blend of news worth information and social networking.

As for Guy, he has managed to accomplish just about anything anyone could ever dream of and is an inspiration to the world.  He is a columnist for Entrepreneur Magazine, managing director of Garage Ventures, and co-founder of Truemors.  Prior to these projects, he was an Apple fellow, and author of 8 books.

Thanks to Guy for being an inspiration and helping me with a few of my projects.

Psychologists at the University of Texas sent strangers to size up 177 bedrooms and offices using nothing but the objects left behind, and the tidiest, most deliberately arranged rooms almost always turned out to belong to the most conscientious person who lived or worked there.

Stanford researchers who tracked how people’s social circles change with age found that older adults don’t lose the ability to make friends — they simply get pickier, deliberately keeping fewer relationships that feel meaningful and letting the rest go, a shift linked to higher emotional well-being, not less

Since 2000, Northwestern Medicine has tracked 290 volunteers over age 80 using a 15-word memory test, and after 25 years the ones who still score like adults in their fifties and sixties turn out to share one habit above the rest: close, frequent contact with other people.
