The median represents the conversations that are at the midpoint. They are the middle/everyday thoughts that ruminate in our minds but really don’t have a platform to be shared because in today’s world, it’s the outliers or the far ends of a spectrum, that get the attention. It’s these everyday thoughts, however, that define who we really are.

Introduction
In episode 25 of The Median Podcast, I’m joined by the very lovely Anna Sheppard, founder and CEO of the Bambuddha Group, a social enterprise offering leadership coaching and CSR programs centered on empowering leaders, and their organisations, to integrate kindness practices into all facets of their business. In addition to sharing how the kindness ethos came to be, and which forms the foundation of the Bambuddha way, Anna opens up about her life story and where her sole mission, her purpose, is to reduce inequality in this world.
