Cheeze, Inc

Guy is on the board of directors of Cheeze. This app does one thing really well: manage albums for sharing content in a controlled manner. For example, albums for only your family, only your surfing buddies, or only your colleagues. Think of it as the anti-social social-media app.

Member Board Of Directors

Guy is on a mission to make people remarkable. He is the co-author of Think Remarkable, the definitive guide to murdering your mediocrity, and the host of the Remarkable People podcast. He's also the chief evangelist of Canva.

I've spent my life evangelizing technology that democratizes opportunity, from Apple to Canva. But the most powerful tool isn't a product; it’s providing access to real-world experience.

Digital NEST brings that chance to brilliant young minds in California's agricultural heartlands: places like Watsonville, Salinas, and Stockton. That's why I am personally MATCHING every donation up to $35,000 to the Digital NEST this year! Join me. This is our chance to make a direct, high-leverage investment in the next generation of innovators. link: https://lnkd.in/gzqB_RkV

Our Goal for the Match Challenge: To help talented and creative young people advance through Digital NEST's career accelerator and transition immediately from training into salaried, professional tech jobs. The market demand is staggering: Digital NEST received 550 applications for only 41 internship positions this year. That hunger for opportunity is exactly the high-potential talent we must invest in.

Whether you’re a seasoned entrepreneur, a leader, or just someone who’s really good at what they do, staying curious and open is the key to staying relevant.
