Guy Raz: Daily Routine

Between interviews with billionaires and bedtime stories for his kids, Guy Raz proves balance is the real flex.

As someone who has been described by The New York Times as one of the most popular voices in podcasting history, Guy Raz — creator of the widely downloaded NPR podcasts, TED Radio Hour, How I Built This and Wow in the World — can have quite a blasé attitude to his work.

In a 2015 interview with Routine Behaviours, Raz admitted that, despite loving his job, “if it meant I had to stay until very late every night for NPR to employ me, I just wouldn’t do it.” He also told Lifehacker, “It’s just a job — unless you are Barack Obama or Nelson Mandela or Gandhi. It’s unlikely the work you do is ever more important than the small moments you have with your family.”
