The MultiPod

Discover fascinating people, from all walks of life, just waiting to connect with you, the listener. The MultiPod is a podcast that explores career, identity, work/life balance, variety, and people living lives full of options. In short: multipotentialites, a term coined by the author and intellectual Emilie Wapnick. Multipotentialites like to do many things, and recoil from the pressure to specialize and choose "the one thing." While this applies in particular to work and career choices, it also

The MultiPod has been on our summer break, but we're getting warmed up again with this bonus episode for you. One of our plans over the next little while is to profile some of the Groups in the Puttyverse, to learn more about them and perhaps give them a boost of attention, a chance to make some announcements, or recognize achievements. The Entrepreneurs group has been up and running for about a year and a half, but it's down to one facilitator (Ted) and could use a bit of a boost. True to form,

Finding the Job that's Right for You - The MultiPod 092

2022/04/30

Where should I work? It's perhaps the #1 question for most multipotentialites, at least at some point in your journey, and for many an ongoing struggle and challenge. Even if we find a job we enjoy, that suits our lifestyle and interests, how long will we be able to sustain that? What would happen if, for any reason, the job disappears or stops making sense: what are the chances that you could find something similar? These are very existential questions, compounded by the fact that they may need to

April 17, 2012: The Puttyverse (Tribe) officially opened its doors to its first members, and a new experiment was born.
