Hi I'm Lee Cooper; recruiter, connector, business owner, sports junkie, coffee snob and best of all, Dad. I'm fascinated by what drives the human spirit, and am fortunate to enjoy a job which for 25 years has afforded me the opportunity to interview literally thousands of inspiring people, from all walks of life. So rather than keep all the good stuff to myself, I figured, why not share the insight, the education and inspiration that can be gained from listening to those who've defied the odds to achieve the extraordinary. But success is such a subjective concept, the extraordinary even more so. It means different things based on different measures, to different people. The odds vary, as do the circumstances widely. The stories are unique, I wanted to understand what I could learn from those who have overcome their own unique odds, to achieve their own uniquely personal goals and to share that learning with you. That is how Extrology was born. Expect to hear from people across the spectrum, people who have risen to the challenges of life, family, community, education, health, business, sport, the arts, science, I aim to ensure as wide of mix of the extraordinary as the 7.5 billion of us on this planet can muster. Come and celebrate the human spirit at https://www.extrology.com/ - I look forward to welcoming you there. Get in touch: lee@extrology.com
