Guy Kawasaki's Remarkable People

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.

What if the biggest breakthrough in education isn't better curriculum, but a better way of understanding kids? In this episode, Ross Greene explains why struggling students aren't choosing to fail—they're facing obstacles adults often overlook. He shares why punishment rarely solves the real problem, how schools can create environments where every child has the opportunity to succeed, and what "meeting kids where they're at" actually looks like in practice. Along the way, we discuss his newest book, The Kids Who Aren't Okay, and why rethinking expectations could transform classrooms, families, and workplaces alike. Whether you're a parent, educator, leader, or simply someone who wants to help people thrive, this conversation will challenge the way you think.

What if resilience isn't about grit at all? Dr. Suzan Song—psychiatrist, anthropologist, and author of Why We Suffer and How We Heal—has spent decades studying survivors of war, trafficking, displacement, and personal loss to understand why some people flourish despite unimaginable adversity. In this episode, she shares her framework for healing through narrative, ritual, and purpose—the "Three Friends of Winter." Guy and Suzan explore the stories we tell ourselves, the rituals that ground us, and why healing happens through belonging, not isolation. This conversation will change the way you think about suffering, resilience, and what it means to truly heal.
