  • Olympia Yarger: Entrepreneur and Maggot Evangelist

    Olympia Yarger filled a knowledge gap in my brain: the beauty of maggots. I never fully appreciated maggots, particularly of the black soldier fly, until I interviewed her. We also chatted about her husband’s military career and the challenges of being a military family with a touching story about one of their family dogs.

    Olympia is helping reshape waste management as the founder and current CEO of Goterra, located in Australia. Her drive towards more efficient farming and reducing food waste has led to a new kind of insect farming using autonomous robotics.

    She is a determined, resilient, and larvae-loving-leader in the fight to develop a circular relationship between nature, technology, and food consumption. Something new this week on Remarkable People podcast!

  • Dr. Leana Wen: Physician, Author, and CNN Medical Expert

    “Public health saved your life today―you just don’t know it,” is a phrase that Dr. Leana Wen likes to use. You don’t know it because good public health is invisible. It becomes visible only in its absence, when it is underfunded and ignored, a bitter truth laid bare as never before by the devastation of COVID-19.

    Leana Wen―emergency physician, former Baltimore health commissioner, CNN medical analyst, and Washington Post contributing columnist―has lived on the front lines of public health, leading the fight against the opioid epidemic, outbreaks of infectious disease, maternal and infant mortality, and COVID-19 disinformation. Listen to Dr. Leana Wen on this episode of Guy Kawasaki’s Remarkable People podcast.

  • Adam Curry: Legendary MTV VJ, OG Podcaster, and Tech Pioneer

    Adam Curry was one of the VJs (video jockeys) of MTV back in the 1980s. In this position, he “interviewed” some of the most popular musicians of the time including Michael Jackson and Paul McCartney.

    Adam is an early tech adopter and pioneer because he embraced the web and podcasting long before other people. He helped make podcasting “a thing” by collaborating with Dave Winer on podcasting technology, and he created one of the first podcasts, the Daily Source Code.

    In 2005 Steve Jobs previewed Apple’s podcasting efforts by playing the Daily Source Code on stage at D, the most exclusive tech conference. It is a huge deal when Steve used a product like this.

    Adam also started companies along the way that offered services such as web design, video-sharing, incubation, and podcasting.

    He currently co-hosts the No Agenda podcast with John Dvorak. Get ready for another great interview on Guy Kawasaki’s Remarkable People podcast!
