The interview was taped in September, when Kawasaki was on Oahu for the funeral of his father, former state senator Duke Kawasaki. “He did not believe in taking crap from anybody,” Kawasaki said about his father. “I would say that is something he probably passed on to me.” A graduate of Iolani, Stanford and UCLA, Kawasaki said all Hawaii students should strive to attend college out of state, “if they can afford it and if the situation works out,” he said. “It is an eye-opening experience,” Kawasaki said. “It increases your perspective, it increases your horizons, it increases your expectation for life. And I think that if you only stay in one place, you judge things, you judge yourself in only one context. And that’s not enough.” Kawasaki continued: “You could start a company. You don’t have to go work for just a hotel or just for a store in Ala Moana Center. So that opened my eyes. And I never looked back.” This program will be rebroadcast on Wednesday, Jan. 13 at 11:00 pm and Sunday, Jan. 17 at 4:00 pm.

NOVA Life’s Rocky Start Wed., Jan. 13, 9:00 pm New From the first sparks of life to the survival of the fittest, unearth the secret relationship between rocks and life.

Then, in a process that has puzzled scientists for decades, life emerged. How did it happen? NOVA joins mineralogist Robert Hazen on the rocky trail to resolve this enduring mystery. As Hazen journeys around the globe, he advances a startling and counterintuitive idea – that the rocks beneath our feet were not only essential to jump-starting life, but then, as microbes flourished and took over the biosphere, life helped give birth to hundreds of minerals we know and depend on today.
