Have you ever thought ‘that doesn’t sound like my life?’&nbsp;That’s because it’s not.&nbsp;In fact, almost nobody has a life like that.&nbsp;The trouble is that the people who do are the ones we’re always hearing from.&nbsp;This podcast is for the rest of us.</p><p><br></p><p>It's intended as an antidote to tedious celebrity success drivel.&nbsp;Although I hope it will be more than just a podcast.&nbsp;I hope it will become a community where anyone listening who has something interesting to say about their brushes with serendipity; with success, failure, hard work and pure dumb luck, will be able to say it.&nbsp;There might be happy endings, or there might not, because life isn’t a story – it’s much more complicated and wonderful than that.&nbsp;So, wherever you are in the world and wherever you are in your life, I hope you’ll find something useful to take away from these conversations.&nbsp;</p>","author_name":"Matt Georges"}
