Heroes, Legends & Icons: Which Types Of Amazing People Do We Look Up To?

What do George Orwell, Henry Spira, Viktor Frankl, Adam Curry, Ian Thorpe & Mark Twain all have in common?

In Episode #260 of 'Musings' Juan and I discuss: the definition of these various terms, why idolising certain people might be unhealthy, figures from history that have influenced us, what characteristics make these people special, why our diversity levels are super super low, which of the 3 options we would like to be and why you (yes YOU!) are a legend for listening to the Mere Mortals.

As always, we hope you enjoy. Mere Mortals out!
