When Structure Meets Opportunity for Detroit’s Youth with Renee Fluker

What do golf, grit, and gratitude have to do with college success? Renee Fluker answers that question with 25 years of proof. As the founder of Detroit’s College Career & Beyond | Midnight Golf Program, Renee has helped more than 3,000 students—many written off by traditional systems—develop the life skills, discipline, and confidence to thrive in college and beyond. In this episode, Guy Kawasaki sits down with Renee to unpack how a small, food-fueled experiment turned into a nationally recognized pipeline to higher education, why rules and respect still matter, and how love—paired with structure—can change the trajectory of a young person’s life. Renee’s story is raw, practical, and deeply hopeful, offering a blueprint for anyone who believes opportunity should be taught, not assumed. -- Guy Kawasaki is on a mission to make you remarkable.
