Dolly Chugh: Why “Good People” Struggle with Bias and What to Do About It

Mon, 23 Mar 2026 05:00:00 -0400

We first released this episode with Dolly Chugh more than a year ago, but it feels even more relevant today.

You’ll also hear practical tools for grappling with uncomfortable truths without shutting down, including how to recognize simplified narratives, embrace contradictions, and keep improving without defensiveness.

Tiny Habits, Big Change (Re-Release)

Sun, 01 Feb 2026 06:00:00 -0400

What if lasting change didn’t require motivation or willpower?

In this re-released episode of the Remarkable People Podcast, Guy Kawasaki revisits his conversation with BJ Fogg, Stanford behavior scientist and New York Times bestselling author of Tiny Habits.

• Attach new behaviors to routines you already have

• Celebrate immediately to wire the habit faster

• Keep the bar low, consistency beats intensity

• Start the day with the “Maui habit”, a small mindset shift that sets the tone

Originally recorded in 2022 and re-released in 2026, this episode remains a practical, empowering guide to building better habits without burnout.

🎧 Listen and learn how tiny habits lead to big change.

How to Break Free from Revenge Addiction with James Kimmel Jr.

Wed, 23 Jul 2025 08:00:00 -0400

What drives us to seek revenge, and why does it feel so satisfying yet leave us worse off? Guy Kawasaki sits down with James Kimmel Jr., a lawyer turned behavioral science researcher who presents a radical reinterpretation of revenge in our society. Kimmel argues that much of what we call justice-seeking is actually a dopamine-driven revenge cycle that perpetuates violence and suffering rather than solving problems.

Drawing from his personal experiences as a youth and examples from history's most notorious leaders, Kimmel explores the neuroscience behind revenge addiction and introduces revolutionary concepts like the "non-justice system" - a method for breaking free from compulsive revenge-seeking behavior. His latest book, The Science of Revenge, combines legal expertise with cutting-edge brain research to reveal why forgiveness, not retaliation, is the key to healing and moving forward.

How to Build Emotionally Intelligent Teams: Vanessa Druskat's 9-Norm Framework

Wed, 09 Jul 2025 08:00:00 -0400

What if the secret to high-performing teams isn't hiring the smartest people, but creating the right environment? Vanessa Druskat, organizational psychologist and associate professor at the University of New Hampshire, reveals how emotionally intelligent teams outperform their competition through trust, collaboration, and psychological safety.

Vanessa's research identifies nine specific norms that separate top-performing teams from average ones, clustered into three powerful categories: individual focus, continuous learning, and external awareness.

In this episode, Vanessa shares real-world examples from Johnson & Johnson drug development teams, the Boston Bruins, and even crisis situations involving the FBI and CIA.

Why Your Emotions Don't Have to Control You with Ethan Kross

Wed, 25 Jun 2025 08:00:00 -0400

What if the ancient practice of drilling holes in skulls was actually an early attempt at emotion regulation? In this fascinating episode, Guy Kawasaki sits down with psychologist and neuroscientist Ethan Kross to explore how we can master our inner voice and harness our emotions as powerful tools.

Ethan directs the Emotion and Self-Control Laboratory at the University of Michigan and is the author of two groundbreaking books: Chatter and his latest work Shift. He reveals why all emotions—even the uncomfortable ones—serve as essential tools for navigating life's challenges.

Discover the three categories of "shifters" that can help you regulate emotions: sensory tools (like music and touch), attention deployment strategies, and perspective-shifting techniques. Learn about distance self-talk, strategic attention deployment, and why your emotional advisory board might be your secret weapon.

What We Value: How Your Brain Really Chooses with Emily Falk

Wed, 18 Jun 2025 08:00:00 -0400

Ever wonder why you choose an orange over an apple, or why your grandmother's feedback hits differently than a stranger's opinion? Meet Emily Falk, pioneering neuroscientist and author of What We Value, who reveals how we can transform our relationship with daily decisions by thinking like scientists about our own minds. Emily breaks down three brain systems that drive every choice we make: our value system (the final decision maker), our self-relevance system (what's "me" vs "not me"), and our social-relevance system (understanding what others think and feel). She shares personal stories about optimizing time with her 100-year-old grandmother and why her son preferred a handwritten certificate over money as a reward. We explore how social media influencers actually rewire our brain's reward calculations, why stories work better than facts for changing behavior, and how understanding these systems opens pathways to more purposeful choices and stronger influence with others.

Philip Klinkner's Warning: Democracy Doesn't Defend Itself

Wed, 19 Mar 2025 08:00:00 -0400

"Is American democracy more fragile than we realize?" This question anchors Guy Kawasaki's riveting conversation with Philip Klinkner, professor of government at Hamilton College. Throughout this eye-opening episode, Klinkner dissects the current challenges facing our constitutional system, comparing today's expansion of executive power with historical precedents during the Civil War and Great Depression. What makes our current moment unique, he argues, is the absence of comparable national emergencies to justify such dramatic governmental shifts. Klinkner examines how supposedly fixed constitutional guardrails often exist merely as norms that can rapidly erode, places American challenges within the global context of democratic backsliding, and addresses the troubling normalization of political violence. Despite his sobering analysis, Klinkner concludes with a powerful call for citizen action, emphasizing that this "plastic" moment in American political history offers both danger and opportunity for those willing to engage.

Wed, 12 Apr 2023 10:00:00 -0400

Helping me in this episode is the remarkable Christina Maslach. You will not find anyone more knowledgeable on burnout than her.
If you don't believe me, her work is the basis for the 2019 World Health Organization (WHO) decision to include burnout as an occupational phenomenon.

She is currently a Professor of Psychology at the University of California, Berkeley, where she’s taught for nearly 50 years. She is no ordinary teacher because, in 1997, she was named USA Professor of the Year.
She is the co-author of a new book called, The Burnout Challenge: Managing People’s Relationships with Their Jobs.
Arianna Huffington stated, “The Burnout Challenge offers tips and tools to evaluate problems and implement solutions…Vital reading for today’s and tomorrow’s leaders.”

Peter Sagal: How to Be Funnier Than Shit

Wed, 02 Nov 2022 10:00:00 -0400

This week's guest is the remarkably witty, acerbic, and insightful Peter Sagal. He is the host of one of my favorite shows, Wait Wait...Don't Tell Me! He is to wit what Mount Chimborazo is to mountains. If you've never heard of Mount Chimborazo, it's time for you to fire up Google to learn why it trumps Mount Everest as far as mountain metaphors go. Appearing on Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me! was on my bucket list. I reached that pinnacle of personal success in 2013 when I played “Not My Job” on Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me! LISTEN TO THE EPISODE HERE Like many remarkable people, Peter has worn a multitude of hats: playwright, screenwriter, marathoner, Jeopardy contestant, podcaster, documentary host, foreign correspondent, and magician's assistant. Peter hosted CONSTITUTION USA with Peter Sagal for PBS and the National Geographic Channel. Essentially, this was about a bald Jewish guy riding around the Midwest on a Harley. He studied English literature at Harvard and is the author of The Book of Vice: Naughty Things (and How to Do Them) and The Incomplete Book of Running. In this episode, we cover what it's like to be the target of Fox, Bill O'Reilly, and an evangelical megachurch pastor, the reason why it works to make fun of Bill Clinton's sexual peccadillos but not Donald Trump's, the flawed assumption that renders the US Constitution impotent these days, and why it's a good thing for Peter that I didn't die on August 17, 2022. I know you will enjoy this episode with the one and only Peter Sagal.

Neil deGrasse Tyson: Astrophysicist, Planetary Scientist, and Author

Wed, 20 Apr 2022 13:30:00 -0400

For decades, Neil deGrasse Tyson has shared his knowledge and his wonder about the depths of the universe, helping millions grasp what they see when they look up at the sky.

Neil is director of the Hayden Planetarium at the American Museum of Natural History. It turns out that Neil was born in New York City the same week NASA was founded. His interest in the universe traces back to age 9, after a first visit to the exact planetarium he is now the director for… the cosmos aligned that day.

In addition to being an astrophysicist, Neil is also a teacher, actor, philosopher, cosmologist, science writer, and television editor.

I dare say that this may be the least astrophysic-y interview he’s ever done. We delve into topics such as:

How he picked which college to attend
The naming of his daughter
What his family discusses at the dinner table
What he would do if he were dean of admissions of Harvard
How flight attendants assume he’s not in first-class because he’s black
The limitations of the bible as a reference source
Why he doesn’t mind how Mark Zuckerberg uses the term “metaverse”
In other words, this is truly a remarkable interview with a truly remarkable person.

By the way, a few hours before the interview I got a shot (two if you count the anesthesia) because of sudden hearing loss in my left ear. I’ve been deaf in the right ear for years.
But the show must go on. If Beethoven can compose deaf, I can podcast deaf.

Enjoy this interview with Neil deGrasse Tyson!

Michael Sinyard: Founder of Specialized Bicycle Components

Wed, 16 Dec 2020 14:30:00 -0400

Mike Sinyard is the founder and chairman of Specialized Bicycle Components, an American manufacturer of bicycles with a cult following. In 1974, at the age of 24, Mike Sinyard began putting bikes together from Italian components he imported. He ran an import service, providing these sought after parts to California bike shops. Soon, mountain bikes became more common, but the choice was either a custom built, racey bike or a heavy rebuilt klunker. He knew he could build a viable bicycle for less than custom bikes cost, and thus the Specialized Stumpjumper was born in 1981. Sinyard was inducted to the Mountain Bike Hall of Fame in 1988. The StumpJumper mountain bike was added to the Smithsonian National Museum of American History's collection in 1994. He was profiled in the 2007 documentary film Klunkerz: A Film About Mountain Bikes.

Tim Kendall: Former Facebook Exec, Former President of Pinterest, and Former Wrestler

Wed, 25 Nov 2020 14:30:00 -0400

This episode’s guest is Tim Kendall. In my humble opinion, Tim’s greatest claim to fame is probably that he was an intern who worked for me. That said, since then, Tim has held somewhat important positions at other companies you may have heard of such as Facebook and Pinterest. And he was much more than an intern at both. He is the person who created Facebook’s monetization strategy as the director of monetization. This was way before the current monetization strategy of enabling foreign governments to influence American elections. He was head of product and then president of Pinterest where he made the company “focus.” Lately, he has appeared in the film The Social Dilemma--which you should watch on Netflix if you are concerned about the future of the world, your kids included. He is currently the president of Moment, a company that fosters physical, emotional, and social health by improving people’s relationships with their phones. He is one of the most qualified people in the world to analyze addiction to social media. He has an undergraduate and MBA degree from Stanford. As an undergraduate, he was on the wrestling team. For those of you that don’t know much about collegiate wrestling, let’s just say that it attracts people who are extremely gritty, intelligent, and dedicated. In this sport, there are few externalities or outside factors to blame. It’s you versus your opponent on a mat. And wrestlers know that there’s no lucrative MLB, NFL, NBA contract at the end of the contract but nevertheless they persist. In other words, wrestlers are the kind of people you’d want on your side.

Dr. Vivek Murthy: Author and doctor. 19th Surgeon General of the United States

Mon, 02 Nov 2020 14:30:00 -0400

This episode’s remarkable guest is Dr. Vivek Murthy, the former Surgeon General of the United States in the Obama administration. On Monday, November 9th, President Elect Joe Biden announced the leadership of his coronavirus task force — the first public step in what aides say will be a focus on confronting the pandemic that has claimed almost a quarter of a million American lives. It will be led by Dr. Vivek Murthy, a surgeon general under former President Barack Obama, who has been a key Biden adviser for months and is expected to take a major public role. He has an undergraduate degree from Harvard, an MD from Yale, and an MBA from Yale. His residency was at Harvard Medical School. He started Doctors for America, group of 15,000 doctors and medical students supporting high-quality affordable care. He also started a company called TrialNetworks to increase the efficiency of clinical trials. President Barack Obama appointed him Surgeon General in 2013. While in this position, he issued the first surgeon general’s report on alcohol, drugs, and health and the first Surgeon General’s report on the use of e-cigarettes by young people. He also launched the “Turn the Tide” campaign to address opioid addiction. April 2017 Donald Trump fired Vivek, which I would assert is a badge of honor. At that point Vivek started addressing the medical impact of loneliness and published a book called Together: The Healing Power of Human Connection in a Sometimes Lonely World.

Tim Ferriss: Best-Selling Author of The Four Hour Work Week, Best of iTunes Podcaster, and Tech Investor

Wed, 30 Sep 2020 13:30:00 -0400

Tim Ferriss discusses being an online influencer, a multiple best-selling author of The Four Hour Work Week and four other books, depression, and why physical exercise is so important to him. People sometimes refer to him as the Oprah of Audio because his podcast has been downloaded more than 500 million times. He’s also got the angel investor golden touch with stakes in Uber, Facebook, Shopify, Duolingo, and Alibaba. But this episode isn’t completely feel good, pixie dust, and unicorns. We delve into heavy topics such as depression and suicide. He also explains the role of physical exercise in his wellbeing, why he doesn’t use social media anymore, and how to grow a podcast. We did geek out about John McPhee after we discovered our mutual admiration for his work. I know this is off-topic, but after you listen to this episode, do yourself a favor and read any of John McPhee’s books. This episode is brought to you by reMarkable, the paper tablet. It's my favorite way to take notes, sign contracts, and save all the instruction manuals to all the gadgets I buy.
