PANDEMIC SENIORS: HOW THE CLASS OF 2020 FEELS ABOUT THE CORONAVIRUS

Author: Christian Ward June 1, 2020 Duration: 1:48:39
interesting humans episode nine I had the chance recently to sit in a Zoom meeting with one of my two high school senior daughters.

Christian Ward hosts Interesting Humans, a series built on a simple, compelling idea: extraordinary stories are everywhere, woven into the fabric of ordinary life. While we might interact with hundreds of people, we rarely get beneath the surface. This podcast is an invitation to do exactly that. Each conversation is a deliberate exploration of the mindset and philosophy that drive people from all walks of life-artists, thinkers, community builders, those dedicated to physical and mental well-being. You’ll hear how creativity sparks in unexpected places, how personal challenges are reframed into fuel for achievement, and how quiet dedication in fields from culture to fitness shapes a meaningful existence. The focus is less on external accolades and more on the internal landscapes: the motivations, the setbacks navigated, and the unique perspectives that make someone's narrative resonate. It’s about listening for the depth in the everyday, discovering the remarkable threads in the stories of people who create, solve, move, teach, and love. Tune in for genuine, meandering talks that reveal what we often miss in passing, and find connection in the shared human experience of growth and understanding.
