The Long and The Short Of It

390. Normal


Listen Later

This week, Jen and Pete define (and redefine, and redefine, and redefine) the concept of what it means to be normal.

Specifically, in this episode Jen and Pete talk about:

  • What is the relationship between normal and average?
  • When might it be a good thing to be normal? When might it be a good thing to not be normal?
  • How might we push back against normalcy, where we want to be extraordinary?
