We all love the convenience of our digital devices and connected services. But what about the ever-expanding pile of digital breadcrumbs we leave behind every day? Those crumbs get swept up by private companies to target us with ads, and by government agencies who might use them for legitimate police work — or, in some cases, political repression. So a lot of people are asking: should I be doing more to protect my personal privacy, and how?

On this episode of the Radical Candor Podcast, Kim talks with tech evangelist and prolific author Guy Kawasaki about the journey that led him to start using Signal — and then to co-author Everybody Has Something to Hide, a hands-on guide for using it well.

When tech is at its best, it’s a group of people working together to solve hard problems in a way that makes the world a better place. That goal is what motivated so many folks in Silicon Valley to come here. How then did we cede the microphone to a small number of people who espouse an authoritarian, rich-get-richer algorithm? How can we take action to advocate for our vision of a better future?

On this episode of the Radical Candor Podcast, Kim talks with Lisa Conn — founder of Gatheround and former Meta employee — and Anne Wootton — co-founder of Pop Up Archive and current senior engineering manager at Apple — about the ICEout.tech movement, why they signed the pledge, and how tech employees can organize for change without compromising their day jobs.
