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
I met Boris in 2018 when I interviewed him for a role at the software company I was with back then. I was so impressed by his knowledge, and his potential for success, that I told him to look elsewhere. This honesty paved the foundation for our friendship. From looking at ways we should limit social media use to understanding how tribalism, perpetuated by today’s media outlets, has become one of the biggest threats to society, episode 20 of The Median Podcast is very two much friends critically analysing what the current state of the world is.
