Guy Kawasaki's Remarkable People

Brad Meltzer joins Guy Kawasaki to discuss his latest thriller, The Viper, and the real-world research behind it—from America’s most secretive funeral home to the hidden realities of witness protection. They dive into the meaning of pentimento, why rough drafts shape masterpieces, and how grief, morality, and second chances influence Brad’s storytelling. The conversation spans conspiracies, character creation, reinvention, and the discipline required to write across genres. It’s a candid look at how one of today’s most versatile authors blends heart, history, and suspense.

Disruption expert Scott Anthony explains why innovation alone isn’t enough—and why the real work of disruption is making things simpler, cheaper, and more accessible. Drawing on decades of research and stories from companies like Procter & Gamble and Apple, he breaks down why success so often becomes the enemy of reinvention.
We also explore ideas from his new book, Epic Disruptions, including why disruption is a team sport, why data often arrives too late, and how leaders can cultivate “optimistic paranoia” to survive—and thrive—through change.

Jennifer Welch joins Remarkable People with her signature candor, sharp humor, and unapologetic edge. As co-host of I’ve Had It and author of the new book Life Is a Lazy Susan of Sh*t Sandwiches, she’s built a platform by betting on herself—and refusing to tone it down.
We talk about moral clarity in a divided country, loving someone through addiction, admitting when you’re wrong, and why outrage is a tool—not a lifestyle. Beneath the fire is a woman guided by gratitude, resilience, and the freedom of no longer needing anyone’s approval but her own.

We first released this episode with Dolly Chugh more than a year ago, but it feels even more relevant today.
Dolly is a social psychologist at NYU who studies how well-intentioned people deal with bias, identity, and the stories we tell ourselves about the world. Her work challenges a deeply held belief: that being a “good person” is enough.
In this conversation, Dolly explains why that mindset can actually hold us back, and why striving to be “good-ish” leads to real growth. She breaks down how unconscious bias works, why our understanding of history is often incomplete, and how those gaps affect the way we see the present.
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.
If you missed this episode the first time, it’s worth revisiting. And if you did hear it before, you may find it lands differently now.
