    The Power of People: How Activism Really Works with Charlie Euchner

    What does effective activism actually look like, and why does so much of it begin with simply listening? Charlie Euchner, author of Rules of Activism, explores the power of grassroots organizing, one-on-one conversations, focused agendas, and turning public gatherings into sustained action. He shares lessons from figures including Martin Luther King Jr., Bayard Rustin, Ella Baker, and Fannie Lou Hamer, along with the story of Marian Dixon, an unlikely activist who became a powerful community leader. Charlie also explains why social media can amplify a movement but cannot replace the human connections that make organizing work. This conversation offers a practical look at how people can listen, organize, build coalitions, and turn shared concerns into action. -- Guy Kawasaki is on a mission to make you remarkable.

    What Makes Humans Remarkable in the Age of AI with Vivienne Ming

    What does it really mean to become “robot-proof” in an age when AI can outperform us at so many traditional skills? Theoretical neuroscientist, AI pioneer, entrepreneur, and author Vivienne Ming argues that the answer isn't to compete with machines, but to use them to become more capable, creative, curious, and distinctly human. Drawing from her new book, Robot-Proof, Vivienne explains why curiosity, intellectual humility, perspective-taking, and resilience may matter more than memorizing the right answers. She also shares her “nemesis prompt,” makes the case for a “failure resume,” and explains why the most powerful people may be those who know how to challenge AI rather than simply obey it. Guy and Vivienne explore what happens when human imagination and AI intelligence work together—and why that combination could make us “superhuman.”-- Guy Kawasaki is on a mission to make you remarkable.

    What Writers Can Teach Entrepreneurs About Creating with Harlan Coben

Bestselling author Harlan Coben joins Guy Kawasaki to talk about the messy reality of writing, from finding ideas everywhere to turning inspiration into actual pages.

He also explains why emotion is the fuel behind every great thriller and why creators should chase hearts, not dollars. Along the way, Coben discusses his new book, Plot Twist, a candid guide to writing, life, creativity, and the messy first draft. -- Guy Kawasaki is on a mission to make you remarkable.

    How Wikipedia Can Survive the Age of AI with Jimmy Wales

    Jimmy Wales created Wikipedia, one of the most important knowledge resources in the world, and now he’s confronting a new challenge: what happens to trust in the age of AI? In this episode, Jimmy explores how Wikipedia is adapting to generative AI, why human judgment still matters, and how AI can both strengthen and undermine our relationship with information. He also shares the ideas behind his new book, The Seven Rules of Trust, including why empathy, logic, and authenticity form the foundation of trust. Jimmy and Guy discuss misinformation, the future of Wikipedia, freedom of expression, and why disagreement doesn’t have to destroy our ability to work together.

    Why Rituals Matter More Than Ever with Bruce Feiler

    What happens when we stop gathering? Bruce Feiler, seven-time New York Times bestselling author, explores why humans need rituals, especially during the uncertain moments that shape our lives. In his new book, A Time to Gather, he looks at everything from weddings and funerals to forest bathing, organ donation, divorce parties, and the everyday “bites of passage” that bring us back to one another. Bruce argues that rituals can help counter loneliness, polarization, and the ways technology has pulled us away from real-world connection. He and Guy Kawasaki also explore why the next generation of rituals may come from the bottom up—and why choosing ritual over virtual connection may be one of the most human things we can do. -- Guy Kawasaki is on a mission to make you remarkable.

    How Poetry Changes the Way We See the World with David Whyte

    What happens when language reaches beyond what we think we can say? David Whyte—poet, philosopher, and performer—joins Guy Kawasaki for a wide-ranging conversation about poetry, vulnerability, creativity, and the words that shape our lives. Whyte traces his unlikely journey from marine zoology in the Galápagos back to the poetry he began writing as a child, and explains why good poetry isn't something to understand so much as an experience to enter. He also shares the stories behind his poems and the provocative ideas in his new book, Consolations II. Along the way, he offers a powerful reminder that what we struggle to articulate may be exactly where our deepest insight begins. -- Guy Kawasaki is on a mission to make you remarkable.

    How We Create a Culture of Belonging with Claude M. Steele

    Why do smart, well-intentioned people still struggle to connect across differences? This week, Guy Kawasaki sits down with renowned social psychologist Claude M. Steele to explore the hidden tension he calls "churn"—the quiet anxiety that shapes how we think, perform, and relate to one another. Drawing from decades of groundbreaking research and his new book, Churn: The Tension That Divides Us and How to Overcome It, Claude explains why building trust matters more than eliminating prejudice, and how small changes can transform schools, workplaces, and everyday relationships. Along the way, he shares practical insights for reducing uncertainty, recognizing people's full humanity, and creating environments where everyone can thrive. -- Guy Kawasaki is on a mission to make you remarkable.
