Yeah. So what made you decide to do a podcast? There's millions of podcasts out there. Every Joe Schmo has a podcast. I know that. So what makes your podcast different? Hello, this is Guy Kawasaki. Welcome to the prequel trailer, or whatever you want to call it, of the Remarkable People podcast. Before I get to Wee Man's question, I digress. And I want to ask you something. Are you a lifelong learner like Wee man, one of the stars of Jackass, the MTV series and the movie? Maybe you're wondering what's going to make this podcast different. The difference is that I've been there and done that. In the trenches of Apple, Google, Canva, Wikipedia, and Mercedes. By subscribing to my podcast, you'll be tapping into the knowledge and connections that I've accumulated over four decades. I'll bring you wisdom through interviews with thought leaders, legends and iconoclasts such as Jane Goodall, Martha Stewart, Margaret Atwood, Woz, Robert Cialdini, and Stephen Wolfram. In tactical and practical ways, my guests and I are going to help you change the world, dent the universe, and succeed against all odds. What's the point? The point is to help you improve your life. My promise is that in every episode, you gain a bit of wisdom that will help you become a remarkable person, too. I have a little challenge for you. Can you identify these voices?
