What drives someone to rebuild their life from a refugee camp—and then rethink everything we believe about entrepreneurship? In this episode of Remarkable People, Neri Karra Sillaman joins Guy Kawasaki to unpack the hidden strengths behind immigrant entrepreneurship, resilience, and long-term business success.

This conversation will change the way you think about ambition, leadership, and what really makes businesses last.

What happens when you look at the economy through the lens of Taylor Swift—and realize it was never built with women in mind? In this episode, economist Misty Heggeness unpacks how women are reshaping economic systems by opting out, redesigning, and building their own paths to power.

This spring, we’re revisiting a transformative conversation with Julia Cameron, the bestselling author who helped millions reconnect with their creativity.

In this episode, Julia shares her approach to creative renewal—from morning pages and artist dates to overcoming perfectionism and quieting the inner critic she calls “Nigel.” She explains why listening is at the heart of creativity, how small daily practices can unlock momentum, and why creative recovery begins with letting go of the need to get everything right.

Whether you’re an artist, entrepreneur, writer, or simply feeling stuck, this conversation is a timely reminder that creativity isn’t something you find—it’s something you nurture.

Why do we avoid talking to strangers when it could actually make our lives better? Nicholas Epley, behavioral scientist at the University of Chicago, explains why we consistently underestimate how positive social interactions will be—and how that mistake quietly limits our happiness. Drawing from decades of research and stories from his new book A Little More Social, he shows how small moments of connection can transform ordinary days. This episode challenges your assumptions about awkwardness, rejection, and what people really think of you. It may just change how you walk into your next coffee shop.

What if you’re chasing the wrong kind of meaning? Dave Evans—Stanford educator, Apple pioneer, and co-author of How to Live a Meaningful Life—returns to challenge how we think about purpose. Instead of answering the abstract “meaning of life,” he focuses on a better question: how to experience more meaning in life right now. He breaks down why impact and fulfillment often fall short, and introduces a more grounded path rooted in flow, presence, and everyday aliveness. This episode is a sharp, honest rethink of what actually makes life feel meaningful.

What if you’ve been listening wrong your entire life?

This Earth Day, we revisit a remarkable conversation with Jane Goodall—both a timely call to action and a reflection on a life that reshaped how we see animals, nature, and ourselves.

From her groundbreaking discoveries with chimpanzees to her decades of environmental advocacy, Jane shares why hope is something we choose—and why our everyday decisions matter more than we think.

It’s a powerful reminder of her legacy, and of the responsibility we all share to protect the only home we have.

Because the window to change isn’t closed—but it is closing.
