The Outlier Index

The Outlier Index: Conversations with Exceptional Performers

What separates exceptional performers from everyone else?

The Outlier Index explores that question through candid, long-form conversations with extraordinary people who have achieved uncommon levels of success in business, sports, leadership, entertainment, public service, and life.

Hosted by entrepreneur, author, and TEDx speaker Ali Hemyari, each episode goes beyond résumés, accomplishments, and carefully rehearsed talking points. Instead, the conversation examines the experiences, decisions, failures, habits, sacrifices, and defining moments that shaped each guest.

What made them think differently? What did they do when things went wrong? What were they willing to sacrifice that others weren't? And which characteristics consistently separate outliers from the rest of the population?

The goal isn't simply to tell remarkable stories. It's to uncover lessons listeners can actually apply to their own lives.

Different thinkers. Exceptional performers. Uncommon results.
