Summary

Vivek Ramaswamy is a New York Times bestselling author and a successful entrepreneur, who joins Krista on the podcast to discuss the importance of diversity of thought. A first-generation American, he has founded multibillion-dollar enterprises, led a biotech company as a CEO and studied at Ivy League universities.

Now, in his latest book, Woke Inc., he takes us behind the scenes into corporate boardrooms, five-star conferences, university classrooms and more, to reveal the industrial complex that has divided us as a society.

In this episode, Vivek and Krista discuss how America’s elites prey on our innermost insecurities about who we really are. Vivek not only rips back the curtain on the new corporatist agenda, but also offers a way forward—exploring what it means to be an American today.

We also talk about:

What makes a healthy democratic society
The importance of diversity of thought
Why society latches onto organizing principles
The negative impacts of cancel culture and “wokeness”
Racism in the United States today
The hypocrisy of corporations
