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

Smart Generalists help small companies and start-ups navigate the challenges and changes in business, allowing these businesses to grow and reach their potential, and yet still hire one person instead of perhaps four. Marcela Killin's company, Complexly Simple, is a collaborative agency that helps people figure out complex and disparate ideas and make them as simple as possible, by making the most of multipotentialites' greatest skill: versatility. Marci joins Ted and Vanessa today on The MultiPod

The MultiPod turns to photography, and engages in a delightful, insightful and motivational conversation with Diana Sherblom, puttypeep and photgrapher extraordinaire. Diana and host Ted chat about what brought her to photography, how it's another great career choice for multipods and, in particular, her documentary-style approach to taking photos and doing photoshoots.

Allison is a multipotentialite coach from Alaska, who focuses on the beginning stages of one's journey to figuring out the life you are meant to lead. She helps multipods unpack their identity and understand who they really are, thus enabling them to find work that is meaningful, satisfying and a match for their goals and lifestyle. Her own story is one of being pushed into entrepreneurship by default, despite an instinct for security and steadiness, because she realized at last that it was the

In this tremendously affirming interview, Flo talks to Angela Cotelessa, who wrote the first PhD on polymaths. Angela shares her research and data, but also her deep insight into the life and reality of polymaths, or, in our language, Puttypeep. Her study looked at common pain points, successes and struggles, emphasizing modern day, relatable people, not the classic historical figures from one hundred years ago. You'll be inspired by Angela herself, and her list of multiple, simultaneous jobs,

The Beauty of Darkness - The MultiPod 074

2021/03/02

The MultiPod takes you on an adventure to northern Sweden, to the city of Skellefteå, overlooking the Gulf of Bothnia. The city lies at 64° latitude, similar to Iceland, Baffin Island and the northern reaches of Canada. It thus has very short days in the winter, and very long ones in the summer. Co-host Flo had the opportunity to visit this extraordinary place at the end of December, 2020, a chance to explore not just a different culture and lifestyle but to understand the meaning of "darkness."

In the 2nd of our tandem episodes this week, building on the homsteading/intentional living theme of Episode 72 with Sonia, we introduce you to CatP and explore the wonder and freedom of life in a tiny home. In Cat's case that is primarily in the Dominican Republic, but in fact she and her partner typically travel amongst three tiny homes throughout the year! Cat left the relationships of her 'old life' behind, corporate and otherwise, to embark on a life of simplicity and clarity, "decluttering"

Sonia lives with her family in rural Portugal, having embraced a major lifestyle change a few years ago. She and her husband closed down their veterinary service in the city, bought a farm, lots of animals therein, and packed up their three kids for a life of homesteading, home-schooling and sustainability. Not only that, but to help sustain themselves and pay the bills, Sonia also took up remote virtual assistant-style work, yet another thing to juggle at the same time. This remarkable journey

What is it like to grow up in different countries, different languages and different cultures, all around the world? It sounds pretty exciting and exotic, and for the most part, it is! But where does that leave your sense of home, and belonging? Third Culture Kids share this identity, punctuated by a key part of the definition: growing up, in their formative years, in a culture different from that of their parents. Risa (pronounced Lisa), is our guest today on The MultiPod, sharing her story of

But any good year-end-show will do its best to be constructive and inspiring, and that's what we're here for on this, the last episode of 2020.

The past couple or so months have seen a flurry of changes in Puttyland, as the community has taken on a new name and identity. This has also coincided with the recent ten year anniversary of the launch of Puttylike, the blog. Meanwhile our little community podcast is coming up on its 3rd anniversary at the beginning of January. Time flies indeed! It all makes for some momentous milestones: benchmarks worth celebrating as we come to the end of this tumultous and unexpected year. And so who better to

Here at The MultiPod, we take the time every once in a while to incorporate an outside voice, someone from beyond the community, to gain their perspective on multipotentiality and what makes us tick. Today that guest is Rinat Ben Avraham, who happens to host the That's the Ticket! podcast with our own co-host Vanessa, and who also happens to be a multipotentialite. Rinat is not however part of The Puttyverse, although she certainly understands and identifies with the term. So what is her take on

Today's episode takes us into the German-speaking world, and the broader question of "how does language, culture and society impact our multipotentialite identity?" We default to English primarily in the Puttyverse, including in this podcast, which means not only do we not speak in other languages but we forget about the cultural and societal implications that we're missing. Flo and special guest Friederike talk about their upbringing, in Austria and Berlin respectively, and how German speakers come

Co-host Vanessa speaks with Niyoosha and Hannah - all 3 members of the LGBTQ+ community, and all multipotentialites.

Thomas Beutel is a determined creator, of all things tactile: both for the hands and for the brain. Thomas paints, draws, builds, programs, wires, carves, moulds, assembles and imagines, resulting in all kinds of models, tools, sculptures and artwork, as well as animations and creative coding. With all this, you would think that the creative process must come easy, even effortlessly, to someone so dedicated. But Thomas has always struggled with productivity, focus and completion.

Welcome back to The MultiPod! It’s been a while, and for starters, thank you to everyone who’s listening, who has still discovered our show and even gone through some of the back catalogue over the past few weeks. It’s been two and a half years, a good chunk of time for any multipotentialite, and enough time to really measure our commitment to producing this thing. We set out to publish an episode every two weeks on average, and aside from some summer lulls the past two years have succeeded.

It's a big moment for The MultiPod, after 2 1/2 years of recording this show, we have for the first time sat down together as co-hosts to record a MultiPod episode, live and in person. Vanessa and her husband Taylor were visiting family in Ottawa, where Ted lives, so naturally he invited them over to both A), meet in person, at last!, and B), blow the dust off the ol' portable recorder, plug in the microphones and sit around the table on the back deck to reflect on the moment and get it all on
