The Definition of a Bozo
Bozassity??????? Look it up I dare ya. Your not going to find it. But the sum of these letters equals a definition Webster would have been proud to include in his dictionary and who knows maybe someday “bozassity” will catch on.
So what is bozassity? Bozassity is a word created by Venture Capitalist Guy Kawaski.
Guy uses bozassity to define bozos in the world who put down truly revolutionary innovations, bozos who speak from on high and deride down and out “garage thinkers” with proclamations like “ahh that’ll never work”.
For innovators the bozos that Guy warns us to be most aware of are the successful bozos. You know, these are the bozos with lots of money in the bank, who drive German cars, where Armani suits and appear successful to the world in all respects. These bozos may have even be innovators themselves. But these are the dangerous bozos.
These are the bozos new up and coming innovators must watch out for and protect their ideas from.
If you want to hear what Guy has to say about “bozassity” and the two types of bozos that inhabit the world click here and slide the video bar over until you get to about 58 minutes into Guy’s talk on “The Art of Innovation”. The entire video is worth watching if you’re into innovation.
