Wow. That’s all I can say.. WOW. I had to repost because that show still blows me away. Being able to “sit down” in a Hangout OnAir with Guy Kawasaki & Peg Fitzpatrick was a treat. More like Christmas showing up early and the gifts were fabulous! In preparation for our interview, I consumed mass quantities of Guy Kawasaki info (and Peg too) and watched a ton of interviews. And let’s face it, that was a great payoff for me because his books are (of course) content fabulous heavy, his interviews provide nugget bombs of sage advice and he’s just a downright fun guy to watch. Combine Peg and you have a dynamic duo!
But the best part about the interview hangout was that I threw all my notes out and just let the guests riff off one another & the conversation flowed naturally. We learned how Guy & Peg’s collaboration came about, how Image may be NSFW.

they work together (just called them “Jack Bauer & Chloe”) and, of course, all about Canva, the online design product which is now Guy & Peg’s main focus. Guy has become the Brand Evangelist for Canva & Peg is their Head of Social Strategy. Canva is an online design tool that empowers the average bear with the ability to make shiny graphics. In case you were wondering, I am your average bear. Image may be NSFW.

And, of course the graphics here were created using… Canva.

Make sure to check out the entire show & you can also click through to the highlights on YouTube (yes, I time-stamped this entire show with highlights and there were a TON!) We had a wonderful supportive crew join us during the show as well. Jaana Nystrom (who was instrumental in the process of writing Guy’s book: What the Plus! Google+ for the Rest of Us.) joined us from Finland – she is truly an upbeat and ubersmart woman who has been a staple item on Google Plus. Dustin Stout also jumped in and provided some great insight into the nuances of logos, colors, design and how Canva can be utilized by all.
Keep an eye out for Lynn Abate Johnson and Debi Davis during the show too – Lynn always brings great insight into any conversation and Debi was the glue that held us all together with her excellent behind-the-scenes production & tweeting.
