21. A Look Back at an Extraordinary Year
Manage episode 391529976 series 3456269
Welcome to a very special holiday episode of Contrary to Ordinary. Today, we’re taking a look back over some extraordinary conversations from across 2023. The mission of this podcast has been to figure out what makes a person extraordinary. Are they born with it? Can it be taught? Is work/life balance even possible for people who have made extraordinary strides in their careers?
Extraordinary people come in many shapes and sizes, but this show has identified a few common traits that they share. They’re usually curious, lifelong learners who love to gain more knowledge. They don’t waste time and don’t sit still for too long. Finally, they don’t do it for the money. They do it to help others and the world.
Thank you so much for listening. Contrary to Ordinary will return in 2024 with more extraordinary conversations.
This episode features the voices of Dr. Rella Christensen, Dr. Doug Young, Machell Hudson, Dr. Philip D. Marsh, Stephanie Staples, Dr. John Kois, and Professor John Featherstone.
