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 #27, we’re joined by Jonjo O’Hara, principal and co-founder of Tenet Recruitment - a boutique technology recruitment firm with a philosophy of helping connect purposeful people across the customer lifecycle. Today’s conversation covers of plethora of topics as Jonjo and I unpack what it means to find purpose in our work and how the incessant need for growth can be a double-edged sword. With that, is it possible to find the ‘goldilocks’ state of mind where you can be forever calm without losing that killer edge?
