Striving For Excellence Through Life's Lessons (Mere Mortals Episode #68 - Excellence)

Why do the Mere Mortals crew strive for excellence? In this themed episode Juan and Kyrin discuss the topic of 'Excellence'. In the dictionary, excellence is defined as "the quality being outstanding or extremely good". However both Juan and Kyrin went a bit deeper in their own personal meanings of the word. For Juan, it meant achieving a high level of competence in a figurative scale (more than 7 out of 10) as well as being known for that competence. For Kyrin, it meant achieving an internal qualitative goal that requires effort to reach (such as achieving fluency in another language).
In a broader professional sense, there are different types of group achievements. These can be excellence of process (creating a model of action that works efficiently), of product (meeting the stated and implied needs of customers), of business (great market and financial performance) and of leadership (setting and enforcing the right standards). The crew finish of by musing on if there is anything beyond excellence and the type of psychosis/madness that is required to reach it.
