Bill Gates, Alan Kay and Steve Wozniak would fit perfectly in this format. Other missing guests (yet) - from the top of my mind - Jeff Bezos, Tim Cook and even Mark Zuckerberg.

I usually prefer to listen to slightly less famous people. The really big names usually are too used to public speaking and not saying anything wrong that they come across as too slick and guarded.

Yes, but if someone with a big name says something stupid, that is interesting because of who says it.
If some nobody says something stupid, it is just a podcast.

I don’t find it very inheriting when somebody trips over something. Must of our media already consists of trying to catch somebody saying something. We don’t need more of that.

All the people you listed would be great guests for sure.
My initial reaction was that, of the people you listed, Steve Wosniak would be the best fit. I attended a lecture he gave a number of years ago, it was very inspiring. He’s not very ‘corporate’ so I think he’d get on really well with Lex.
But I am perhaps showing my bias here, I’d also be very interested to see how versatile Lex’s interview style is with Gates, Bezos and Zuckerberg.
