About this listen

The podcast where we talk to ordinary people who are doing extraordinary things. Every week we'll have a co-host who is "ordinary" but has achieved something extraordinary in their life that is worth talking about. We often compare ourselves to others and put too much pressure on ourselves to be excellent. We forget that others have struggles too and maybe only did one thing different in their life to be extraordinary. I hope this podcast gives you the motivation you need to chase your dreams and become extraordinary. Welcome to the room!Jerome Vaz Careers Economics Personal Success
