Bestselling author, professor and entrepreneur Scott Galloway combines business insight and analysis with provocative life and career advice.
On Mondays, Prof G Markets breaks down what’s moving the capital markets, teaching the basics of financial literacy so you can build economic security.
Wednesdays, during Office Hours, Scott answers your questions about business, career, and life.

To resist is futile…
Tristan Harris, former Google design ethicist and co-founder of the Center for Humane Technology, joins Scott Galloway to explain why children have become the front line of the AI crisis.
They unpack the rise of AI companions, the collapse of teen mental health, the coming job shock, and how the U.S. and China are racing toward artificial general intelligence. Harris makes the case for age-gating, liability laws, and a global reset before intelligence becomes the most concentrated form of power in history.

During these times, we are all having to find new ways to connect.
Join me every week as I talk with people that inspire me, about love, life, leadership, and silver linings.
The hope is that we all leave with something I think we need these days… A Bit of Optimism.
Life can change in an instant. One day you’re shopping at Saks Fifth Avenue, and the next you’re sitting in your car with everything you own, and everyone you love, wondering what happens now.
Joan Howard grew up in Beverly Hills with every advantage until a series of crises left her homeless and living in her car with her mother and three dogs. What helped her rebuild wasn’t luck or charity. It was kindness, consistency, and one simple weekly practice of being in service to others.
Today, Joan is a long-time volunteer for Food on Foot, the very organization that helped her decades ago. Food on Foot is more than a meal line—it’s a community built on dignity, kindness, and practical support for people experiencing homelessness in Los Angeles. Their model helps people find work, save money, build confidence, and move forward with independence.
In this episode, we talk about what homelessness actually looks like, why service can be transformative, and how organizations like Food on Foot help people not just get back on their feet, but build a future.
This is A Bit of Optimism.
