Ponderings & Musings of an Ordinary Man
Too often, we look to celebrities and people in power for guidance, forgetting that real inspiration is all around us. This podcast shifts the spotlight to ordinary individuals doing extraordinary things—people who have overcome challenges, sparked change, or built something meaningful without fame or recognition. Their stories, struggles, and victories offer powerful lessons and grounded wisdom.
But it’s not just about the guests. In between interviews, I’ll share solo episodes filled with my own ponderings and musings on life—the questions we all wrestle with, the ideas that keep us curious, and the moments that shape who we are.
Because inspiration doesn’t only come from the extraordinary—it lives in everyday experiences, quiet reflections, and the people we meet along the way.

John Shannon shares how, in April of 2017, he felt led out of his comfort zone to section-hike the Appalachian Trail. He is currently 53% through the almost 2,200-mile trail and shares what he has learned along the way. Flexibility is the name of the game, and a willingness to step out into the unknown.
