Summary:

In this episode of The Corvus Effect, I sit down with Scott MacGregor, founder of The Outlier Project and a true catalyst for extraordinary connections. As someone who believes anyone can be ordinary but we all have the power to choose to be extraordinary, Scott has created a community where curious minds come together to do extraordinary things.  From his record-breaking business achievements to building a platform that transforms how high-impact individuals connect and grow, Scott embodies the principle that relationships are everything, but they don't just happen.  Scott reveals why choice is the most important word in his fundamental philosophy, the critical difference between being a high achiever and a true outlier, and how adversity has shaped his approach to building meaningful relationships and lasting impact. He also shares insights about creating psychological safety for driven individuals, the importance of people over products in business success, and his vision for leaving a legacy through impacting lives rather than accumulating achievements. This episode offers valuable lessons for ambitious individuals looking to build lasting legacies while maintaining authentic relationships and creating meaningful impact in their communities.
