Summary
What if lasting change didn’t require motivation or willpower?
In this re-released episode of the Remarkable People Podcast, Guy Kawasaki revisits his conversation with BJ Fogg, Stanford behavior scientist and New York Times bestselling author of Tiny Habits.
BJ explains why most habit advice fails and shares a simple framework for creating change that actually sticks:
• Make habits so small you can do them on your worst day
• Attach new behaviors to routines you already have
• Celebrate immediately to wire the habit faster
• Keep the bar low, consistency beats intensity
• Start the day with the “Maui habit”, a small mindset shift that sets the tone
Originally recorded in 2022 and re-released in 2026, this episode remains a practical, empowering guide to building better habits without burnout.
🎧 Listen and learn how tiny habits lead to big change.
