Summary

Scott Galloway repeatedly asks us to square our worship of technology and innovators with what we know is and is not good for us and society. He wants us to face the slow but certain damage we allow corporations to inflict, every day, on our kids and ourselves. Standing on a firm foundation of facts and insight, he asks the hardest and most consequential questions of our time. Dolores Huerta worked side by side with Cesar Chavez for decades. She stood next to Robert Kennedy the night he was shot. She convinced 18 million people to boycott grapes. These back to back conversations, recorded on the set of Kelly’s PBS show, Tell Me More, are part wake up call and part roadmap. To watch all episodes of Tell Me More, go to pbs.org/kelly.

0:00.0	Welcome to Kelly Corrigan Wonders. I'm Kelly Corrigan and this week I'm wondering about fighters.
0:10.8	Scott Galloway is the thought partner of Cara Swisher, big name and tech reporting. Scott
0:16.4	is an unstoppable critic of modern capitalism and perhaps as clever and bold with his
0:22.0	phrases as anyone I have ever talked to. My second guest, Dolores Huerta, is the sometimes
0:28.4	skimmed over a thought partner of Cesar Chavez. Together they established rights for all the
0:34.2	people who plant, tend and pull our food from the ground. Dolores, mother of 11, is now 91 and she
0:42.0	still has the fire in her. Scott and Dolores are fighters and this two part conversation is about
0:48.8	how and why and to what end they keep up the fight. We'll be right back with Kelly Corrigan Wonders.
0:58.4	Welcome back to Kelly Corrigan Wonders. So my guests today are Dolores Huerta, the civil rights icon
1:13.2	and Scott Galloway, often known as Proff G, who is one of the more popular professors at NYU. I
1:20.5	interviewed both of them for PBS, the Tell Me More Show, which I so love doing and what occurred to
1:26.8	me afterwards when we were in editing is that they both have an impressive willingness to be
1:32.7	unpopular, to make people angry, to be specific and name names in a world that dodges directness.
1:43.0	I think that requires a kind of courage that few other people have. I mean, I myself don't have
1:48.8	the heart to be super direct about my very strong feelings on some issues. I have a long list of
1:54.8	projects I want to try and I'm old enough to know that if I jump in with a strong perspective on
1:59.6	a hot button issue, I'll probably get pulled under for a day or two of managing responses
2:06.0	or a day or two of sacrificing all my emotional energy to ignoring those responses.
2:11.3	And so if the world were nothing but people like me, we would be in trouble.
2:16.4	So on to my first guest. Here's a confession. I wasn't sure I wanted to interview Scott Galloway,
2:22.0	but as my producing partner Steve Goldblum promised me repeatedly over multiple sales pitches,
2:27.9	I would not regret it. He grew up with a single mom who died a secretary, but is quick to note that
