Speaking at the MYOB breakfast in the lead up to StartUp Grind Australia in Melbourne, author Guy Kawasaki got straight to the point when it came to his former boss Steve Jobs.

Discussing his role at Apple, he said: “Yes, he was an ‘asshole’ but I’d do it all again. I am who I am because of Steve Jobs.”

Later he told the packed auditorium at StartUp Grind in Melbourne’s Convention Centre that he knows one thing for sure about entrepreneurs.

“There’s only two types of entrepreneurs – one is scared and the other is lying.”
