UC San Diego Division of Extended Studies proudly launches UC Your Future, a bold new lifelong learning initiative designed to ignite possibility, strengthen resilience, and empower individuals to shape the next chapter of their lives with intention and creativity.
To mark this milestone, we welcome Guy Kawasaki, one of the most influential voices in modern innovation and personal reinvention. A New York Times–bestselling author, chief evangelist of Canva, and legendary Apple fellow, Kawasaki has inspired millions through his work at the forefront of technology, entrepreneurship, and human-centered leadership.
Drawing from his acclaimed new book, "Wiser Guy: Life-Changing Revelations and Revisions from Tech’s Chief Evangelist," Kawasaki takes the stage for a dynamic keynote on navigating change with courage, clarity, and purpose. His blend of humor, candor, and hard-won life lessons offers a masterclass in reinvention—perfect for anyone ready to write their story forward.
Guiding the conversation is Rebecca Smith, distinguished educator, community catalyst, and lead architect of UC Your Future. Smith brings decades of experience supporting adult learners through transition and transformation, making her the ideal moderator for this timely, inspiring dialogue.
All attendees will receive a complimentary copy of "Wiser Guy. "
This keynote also serves as the official launch of UC Your Future, a cohort-based program for adults aged 45–60+ who are ready to explore new pathways, deepen their purpose, and embrace the next phase of life with confidence. The program weaves together reflective learning, community-building, creativity, and wellness to help participants navigate mid-life transitions and design what comes next.
