Author: Guy Kawasaki April 8, 2026 Duration: 52:48
Brad Meltzer on The Viper, witness protection, pentimento, and turning life’s rough drafts into masterpieces.

What does it take to lead a life that stands out? That’s the central thread running through Guy Kawasaki's Remarkable People. Hosted by the seasoned Silicon Valley veteran and author Guy Kawasaki, this podcast sits at the intersection of society, business, culture, and education. Each conversation is less a formal interview and more a deep dive into the minds of individuals who have genuinely changed their fields. You’ll hear from primatologist Jane Goodall, Salesforce founder Marc Benioff, Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, Olympic champion Kristi Yamaguchi, and influence expert Robert Cialdini, among many others. Kawasaki’s approach is the key. He draws on his own decades as a venture capitalist and advisor, but he leaves the jargon at the door. His questions stem from a genuine curiosity and a passion for how things work, leading to discussions that are both insightful and surprisingly accessible. The goal isn’t just to recount successes, but to unpack the habits, setbacks, and pivotal moments that define a remarkable journey. Tuning into this podcast feels like gaining access to a series of private, candid mentorships. You’re not just learning about technology or business strategies; you’re absorbing lessons on resilience, creativity, and the human elements that drive lasting impact. Each episode offers a new perspective, challenging you to consider how you might apply a spark of that remarkable thinking to your own path.
