Description

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 plays out in our hobbies and interests, our education, and how we choose to spend our time. As you can imagine, this can lead to some pretty deep, existential moments, as we grapple with this identity. The MultiPod features conversations with guests that revolve around their story, their perspective on multipotentiality, their work or career, their interests and how they bind it all together. This is a podcast about connection, inspiration and opportunity. Hear something that piques your curiosity? Have common ground with someone on the show? Recognize how they can help you with your needs and interests? If so, your call to action is to reach out and contact the guest. Let them know you exist, and make that connection! Multipotentialites live unconventional lives, by design and by instinct. The MultiPod is here to empower you in living life on your terms.
