I recently had the enjoyable opportunity to interview these brainy fellows - 3 out of the 4 challengers from CBC's Canada's Smartest Person. They gave me the behind-the-scenes scoop and were so funny & articulate - one is a professional athlete for the CFL's Hamilton Tiger-Cats, one is a slam poet, and one loves to do stand-up. Take that, "brainy" stereotypes!

Being real-world "smart" is about so much more than academics. I think the show ably demonstrated that with their ten challenges exploring the theory of multiple intelligences: logical, linguistic, visual, interpersonal, physical and musical. Bottom line for me: it's about being versatile, baby!
