In this episode I introduce and examine how a quirky book assigned to me in high school formed the inspiration behind this podcast and its title.

Let’s reconsider what it means to be extraordinary. We’ve been sold the notion that unless your name appears on billboards, your life is somehow not extraordinary, and is simply rather ordinary. This podcast playfully flips the script on that narrative. We’re going to share ideas that make ordinary moments, thoughts and people seem extraordinary. We’ll explore the value of different jobs. We’ll discuss the characteristics of leadership and customer service. We’ll consider the deeply human role dogs play in our lives. And we’ll humbly consider the invisible power of a modern global economy.
