No person on earth is the same; we all have our paths, challenges, and how we deal with them. Although we don't pay much attention to our journey, we believe authentic stories should be shared, to inspire and motivate people worldwide who are in a similar phase of life. Challenging the Status Quo podcasts brings you original stories, of people, yes people like you and me, not paying attention to their titles or positions. The stories are those of misfits, challengers, and people who do not abide by somebody else's rules.
