Meet the Guest

Scott MacGregor

As Publisher & Editor-in-Chief of Outlier Magazine and the Founder & CEO of two purpose-driven organizations, I’m deeply proud to lead work that reflects both my values and my passion for meaningful impact.

The Outlier Project is more than a community — it’s a movement of people across the world who dare to live life on their own terms. We believe that being ordinary is a choice, and that every human has an extraordinary spark waiting to be ignited.

Here, you’ll find people who dream bigger, aim higher, and believe that who you surround yourself with can change everything. Together, we gather online in over 200 live, interactive events each year — and in person through unforgettable retreats, meetups, and signature experiences that connect visionaries, trailblazers, and dreamers from every corner of the globe.

We’re for those who crave meaning, growth, and adventure. For those who take the road less traveled and want to walk it alongside others who believe anything is possible.

Show Notes

What if everything you know about networking is wrong?

From embracing adversity as fuel to building genuine friendships over transactional connections, this episode will change how you think about success, relationships, personal and professional growth.
