Middlest creators and hosts, Steph & Pedro reflect on launching the first  year of the podcast and truly owning the experience in the midst of a pandemic and learning about becoming resilient as a result.

The impact of topics and guests are reflected on, including Black Lives Matter and COVID-19. Steph & Pedro highlight learnings for professional and personal development that inspired them throughout 2020!

Together they revisit conversations with Josh Lucido, Jasmine Harris, Kristen Cheung, and Barbarah Phillips. Tune-in for a look-back! 

Middlest, Julian Lewis shares how he took his side hustle to the bank while working full time. He shares his story of purpose and drive with lessons for how to plan your professional and personal moves based on what “moves” you! 

Together we revisit the notion of Ikigai, or how to “find purpose” with Anne Baker (Partners International) returning to provide insights on how any middlest can find theirs too!
