Everyday Extraordinary Ep. 17 - Season 1 Review

Everyday Extraordinary Ep. 17 - Season 1 Review


This week on Everyday Extraordinary we bring you some of the best and brightest from Season 1. After 16 episodes and over four months of incredible insights, we've learned from entrepreneurs who've pivoted....athletes who've overcome... charitable works that have found new ways... and providers who have persevered. At times, we've relied on kids to show us the way... and have pulled wisdom... whether intentional or not... from those who have so kindly shared their passion and purpose. As we cap season 1, we find ourselves incredibly grateful for those we've connected with, and remain inspired by the Extraordinary we see in each of you, Everyday!

Thanks for sharing these stories with us! Comment with your favorite highlight or recommended stories for season 2!
