Have you ever stopped to think about if you live your life out on the edge? It sounds cliche, but how close to "average" is your life? If you've wondered these things, this week's episode aims to dive into this exact topic.

From a young age, your podcast hosts have been pushed to excel in all areas of life. From academic studies to extra-curricular pursuits - all the way to careers in adulthood. And looking back, neither of us could say that this was the average experience in the US. Where does that legacy of seeking excellence leave us in our adulthood?

Jesse believes that there is almost a thrill-chasing habit from chasing excellence that is ultimately hollow. Angela rightfully points out that many of these end pursuits are externally driven and may not reflect what we truly want.

At the end of the day, what do you listeners think? Do you feel like you live a life outside the norm? Let us know from wherever you're listening to us!
