    Bob Sutton interview fantastic
    I’ve admired Bon Sutton for a long time; it was such a pleasure to hear him so well interviewed by Guy and with such humor. I’m going to get Bob’s book as a result of this conversation- I need to know more.

    You’re adding to the Hate and Division, please stop
    I started to listen to your podcast off and on as part of an over arching string of podcasts I listen too. I usually don’t reach out but today I listened to your podcast with Eric Swalwell. I realize you are a far right Democrat but why continue to stoke the fire of division. I am by no means a Trump fan but for you to have Swalwell on there saying Trump is against IVF is just an outright lie. Politicians are liars, period, regardless of what side of the isle they are on. Democrats constantly talk about Republicans causing division yet they want to call all Republicans “MAGA”, as an insult and a means to divide. Come on Guy, you’re a smart person. Have a better sense of what is happening. Don’t be so scared of everything. This country is better than any one person. In 10 years you won’t be able to name who was president today. Do your part to stop division instead of having people on your show that cause division. Turn to purple. Oh, and Joe didn’t stop aside for the country, O’bama told him to stop aside. If Joe had his way, he’d still be in the race. And stop creating division by saying Democracy is at risk when the Democrats threw away democracy by appointing their newest candidates instead of having them voted on. No one in their sound mind thinks Democracy is at risk. It’s only the doomsayers that do. My podcast MindlessAmerica will be out soon. I hope you listen.

    Garret Wing is phenomenal
    Garret’s dog stories are interesting and relatable, I really appreciate his deep knowledge of canine behavior. Thank you for the great interview.

    Interview with Maureen Dunne
    Thank you, thank , thank you for pointing out that not all high functioning autistic people have extraordinary abilities. Trying to help my kids navigate their lives I have been looking for some tools but it’s always the same story: autistic people have something special to offer. What if they don’t? What if their performance is average plus they are having problem socializing? I worry about my kids future watching them struggle in neurotypical world. For sure they have something different to offer because of a different perception but I am still looking for the tools that will allow me to turn it into their strengths.

    Impressive talks
    Though I do not always agree with the people on this podcast, I always learn. And as a graduate teacher lifelong learning is something I practice so when I advocate for it I am doing it myself. Keep it up.

    Truly Inspiring!
    Guy's decades of experience shine through in his curiosity and passion for tech, startups, and marketing. You don’t want to miss out on the practical tips and inspiring stories from the world's most successful people. It's a must-listen! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    Listening to Guy is like hanging out with a friend
    Listening to Guy is like hanging out with a friend. His eclectic curation of guests around the broad theme of ‘what is remarkable’ is always interesting. Like so many podcasts - his guests are not the same old ‘famous’ people on every other interview podcast. There’s certainly the share of those I recognize or know, but also plenty of folks whose stories and ideas are new to me. That kind of curation is invaluable.
  • claudia_princess
    Learning new things every week
    Every week I look at the name of the guest, and cannot recognize it, and decide to listen anyway. Which is an excellent move, because I learn something new every week. Guy has a very gentle and conversational podcasting style, that resonates with me. Thank you, Guy!

    Why You Need To Listen To Kelly Gibson
    I was a teacher for almost 20 years in Hawaiʻi, including the school Guy Kawasaki graduated from. I now work for a national education organization and I host a global education podcast. Please trust me when I say that if you were to listen to only one “Remarkable People” podcast episode, it should be Guy’s conversation with Kelly Gibson. Even Guy admits, at the end of the conversation, that Kelly might be the most remarkable of all his 200 plus guests, and that is saying something. Even if you are not in education, or connected to education, you need to hear the truths Kelly Gibson speaks in this conversation (including about how educators need to embrace generative AI and ChatGPT as a tool of the future-now). Please, please, a comfy couch, a cup of coffee and 80 minutes of your time. (Or your next long commute.) For all of our kids in school, hear what Kelly has to say.

    Good stuff
    I love the up close and personal tone. Is there a searchable tool for various content topics? I’m not star struck and liked the cd baby guys point of what are the points made versus who the person is. The titles are mainly focused the persons name and it is sometimes unclear the topic covered. I have a handful of podcasts I listen to and searchable tool would be helpful. Keep up the great work. I love em

    Truly Remarkable
    I have known Guy for many years and he never ceases to amaze me with all the awesome work he does. His Remarkable People podcast is truly incredible. Every single guest is indeed a remarkable person and by the end of each episode you are left with new inspirational ideas and believing that we all can change the world for a better place in our own unique ways. And of course Guy’s contagious laughter is what adds to the greatness of each episode . Can’t wait to see who the next Remarkable Person on the podcast would be. Mahalo and Aloha !

    Always worth the time
    Consistently good podcasts are rare. Guy’s guests are always interesting and have so much to share. However, the way Guy draws them out truly makes this podcast shine. Guy’s great questions and his own authenticity and vulnerability creates a dialogue and dynamic that brings out the best in each interview.
  • Bigblueocean
    Great guests and insight from Guy too
    I always look forward to hearing Guy and his guests talk about their careers and life stories. I always learn something new.
  • Andieo1997
    A Remarkable Podcast!
    Guy's passion is infectious, and his interviews with some of the world's most inspiring people are simply mind-blowing. With every episode, I come away feeling more enlightened than before. Whether you're an entrepreneur or simply someone who loves to learn from the best, Remarkable People is the perfect podcast for you!
  • ZUrlocker
    Guy does it again! Best podcast for growth mindset!
    Guy Kawasaki has been a force in the tech industry since the early days of the Mac. He has written fantastic books that shaped my thinking and now he’s doing his best work ever with the Remarkable People podcast. Kawasaki interviews leaders from many different areas and draws out great stories that help you learn from what they have done in their lives. Some of the best are tech people like Steve Case, Woz, Marc Bennioff or writers helping you to understand how to better live. Guy is also a fun interview, there are plenty of positive moments and hard-hitting thoughtful questions. Subscribe, I guarantee you will learn and grow.
  • L14RS
    Interesting and Inspiring
    The questions are always really on point so even if you have never heard of the guest, by the end of the session you have an understanding of their life experience and more importantly often an insight into their core values as a human being. Guy brings this out using a what I would say is a ‘two friends chatting over a coffee approach’ it works well and the conversations are insightful and thought provoking. Thanks Geoff

    Gretchen Carlson rocks
    Great podcast with Gretchen Carlson, Guy. You are among a select few men who don’t talk down to women. You let her shine. Thanks for showcasing her important work.
  • Peace. Joy.
    Remarkable Podcast!
    Guy’s Remarkable People is a rare gem in the podcasting world. The episodes never fail to bring me smiles and hope. The world needs more authentic voices, positive energy, and wisdom such as those offered through Guy’s interviews. I always walk away feeling encouraged and inspired to do more, and become more, not just for myself, but for the greater world. The guests’ experiences are relatable and their advices pragmatic; they help me envision a future with different tried-and-true paths one can take to live a fuller life. Plus, the interviews might just give you that good laugh you need for the day. They are really funny and witty sometimes, thanks to Guy’s incredible humor. Aloha!

    Finally, a Wednesday to look forward to!
    Since becoming a passionate listener of Remarkable People, I realize that I now look forward to Wednesdays, since that is when new episodes drop. I am always curious to know which interesting guest will be interviewed, in an always intelligent and hyper-prepared way by Guy Kawasaki. I have learned about things I never knew I needed to know like ejaculatory responsibility, sound branding, the shadow side of NDAs in employment agreements and more. Guy says himself this is the best work of his career, and I believe it!

    Derek and Guy really hit it off. Informative, fun, valuable, applicable info. over a range of life subjects with an emphasis on work/life balance. Also great info on work after college, being open to possibilities and more. Very enjoyable learning. Thank you again Guy!

    Living Life to the Fullest
    I rarely listen to podcast but having started listening to Remarkable People in late 2022 with Ep #1, has been an amazing experience. I have added new routines, goals to my daily life, personally and professionally. Guy’s questions are thought provoking. By no means I am remarkable but I will be some day in listening to these podcasts and learning to life a better life. Thank you Guy in speaking with amazing people.
  • Britsauce
    A gem in the sea of podcasts
    Guy is almost always complimented by his guests for his great questions and his thorough background research spawns fantastic questions and as i listen he asks follow ups to clarify and dig deeper. His style and charisma is unique and i find these to more genuine and conversational yet still concise. I find so much value in these talks and find them to truly be making me more remarkable. Thank you guy and team!
  • :::::teewee:::::
    wonderful!
    Guy always makes me feel like I’m hanging out with him and his guest having coffee and a riveting chat. Because of the range of Guy’s guests and topics I’m hooked! I especially loved Kerri Walsh’s insight about female athletes.
  • UR Mike
    Tom Peters Episode
    This interview was fantastic. Tom always has interesting ideas expressed in full candor. Guy’s connection with Silicon Valley led to some interesting dialogue between the two. Along with his wisdom, Tom references numerous books, articles and studies which made this podcast such a good resource for ideas.
  • Constanza from NY
    Insightful
    So insightful. Margret Atwood, Jane Goodall and Martha Nino left me inspired. Thank you! I look forward to your podcast every week. Loving this podcast more and more…
  • FP18E
    Favorite Podcast
    I stumbled upon Guy by accident, he was a webinar guest speaker at my alma mater from which I graduated 15 years prior. I never attend those, Bc of work, this is the only one I watched and I am so glad I did! The universe put him in my path. I listen to the podcast regularly and share relevant episodes w friends and co-workers. I often buy the books mentioned, Audible is my friend. It’s feel good, super informative, inquisitive, remarkable. And at the same time, although the guest are of high profile, Guy makes the listener feel like we are all buddies, just us pals talking and asking really good questions. 5 stars all around.
  • vernettia
    eFoils and interns
    I thoroughly enjoyed your interview with Tim Kendall…especially the last minute Geoff Baum name check. Tim is honest and fair in his assessment of social media and his role in creating some of the negative outcomes. That said, don’t believe a word Tim says about eFoiling. I have an eFoil and I LOVE the thing. BUT, an eFoil is not a training system for surfing. Surfing is much harder and more organic. Comparing eFoiling to surfing is like comparing a parent who orders dinner via DoorDash to one who cooks a meal from scratch.
  • Emily Lamoureux
    Life changing stuff!
    Excellent listen - thanks Guy! Every time I listen to your podcast 1) I have new book that I can’t wait to read and 2) I feel happier and better equipped to make small but incredibly meaningful shifts in my personal and professional life!
  • CS Palo Alto
    Fantastic podcast
    I never miss an episode of Guy Kawasaki’s Remarkable People podcasts. Guy is one of the best interviewers on the planet, always asking the questions that you wish you had thought to ask, and doing so in such a way that the people being interviewed want to tell him everything. He also selects the most interesting guests. I always learn something from listening to Remarkable People. I highly recommend it
  • Getting Inspiration
    Thought provoking and enjoyable
    I truly appreciate how Guy lets his guests speak and take center stage! Using engaging questions and comments to provoke interesting answers and dialogue from his guests makes this Remarkable podcast a must-listen. And I totally learn something new and intriguing each and every time. Highly recommended!
  • KJ - doing the work
    Engaging & informative!
    That’s how I’d describe the Remarkable People podcast! Guy interviews a range of people covering a variety of topics. The conversations are always engaging. I particularly appreciate his willingness to ask the tough questions (like the interview with Gloria Romero) and his ability to link concepts to every day living (like the habits conversation with BJ Fogg). His personable approach and willingness to learn keep me engaged throughout each conversation. I always walk away feeling I learned something new or with a call to action.
  • MattM8649
    interview questions could use some work
    I just listened to the interview of Dominic Lieven who recently wrote a book about emperors in world history. This was hardly discussed but Guy asked Dominic about whether tanks were obsolete in warfare or if the US will break apart. Those aren’t topics the guest is an expert in, so it just felt like a wasted opportunity. Questions more relevant to the guest’s recent work or past work on Russian history would be better.
  • DBrew
    Insults
    Guy. I’ve known who you are since I read your first book about the Mac. I also have read Kiyosaki’s book. But yet you’re sure that I’m clueless. Oh hey, I also live in AZ, so, I’m a clown. I’ve mostly enjoyed your podcast since your first but because you insist on insults to go with opposing views, I’m thinking to stop listening. Not having the ability to respect those with opposing views is unremarkable.

    Remarkable Podcasts
    When I was 17, hitting the lowest point of my teenage times, Steve Job’s biography saved my life. Over the years, I read countless books and watched countless videos about him as well as people who collaborated with him. I was fascinated with the insights of the journey of Steve, his ability to gather great minds to create something great. This year I set a goal to meet with one of the greatest minds who collaborated with Steve. Guy is one of them, so I wrote him an email. Surprisingly, Guy took his time to reply to my email and send me a list of podcasts which are related to Steve Jobs and Apple. I simply appreciate the simple act of kindness from Guy. Don't miss out the episode with Marc Benioff. Remarkable people. Remarkable podcast. All good things. Thanks Guy :)

    The World’s Best Podcast!!
    Every time I listen to Guy’s Remarkable People Podcast, I learn a new nugget of knowledge. Listening to this podcast has brightened my days during the pandemic. Guy’s a master interviewer — as skilled as Fresh Air’s Terry Gross. If you listen to this podcast, it will make you a better person. It might also make you want to learn how to surf. 🏄‍♂️

    His curiosity makes you curious too
    Have been a fan of Guy’s for many years but I didn’t know what to expect on a podcast. It’s so so so so good!! He finds interesting guests and asks them interesting questions, and you never know where the conversation will lead. I want to be Guy’s friend! He is so cool.
  • Matt Certo
    Excellent content

    Best podcast
    this is the best podcast to get motivated this why listen to this podcast.
  • WorldWideWade
    Fresh, deep, entertaining
    Guy is such a genuine, unguarded, and omni-enthusiastic person. You couldn’t hope for a better (or more well-connected) guide to what’s happening in the world of technology, innovation, and entrepreneurship and so many other realms.
  • sunnymike
    A “must follow” for entrepreneurs
    We all know Guy as the sage of tech entrepreneurs and this podcast really is “the best work of his life.” Guy has transcended the tech world and provides us with the wisdom of luminaries that can be applied to startups and life in general. I have been coaching and advising startups for more than 15 years now and this podcast is one of the tools that I have to inspire them and transfer the knowledge they need to succeed.

    In Celebration of 100 and Beyond
    I just listened to the Seth Godin episode of Remarkable People. OMG, it was incredible. Or should I say REMARKABLE. It was the best podcast episode I’ve ever listened to. I mean, you’ve done some wonderful ones, but this one really resonated with me. Every moment gave me something worthwhile. Seth came up in my digital marketing studies but I hadn’t heard him in such a fluid conversation before. It was so interesting to hear all of the stories and you did a fantastic job of bringing them out (as you always do). It really made me think a lot, and after listening to him I feel more strongly than ever that I did the right thing with my book, “Blogging on Instagram.” Wishing you great success with the next 100, and the next 100…
