Fortunately, it was a job/career with enough twists and turns to keep her engaged, on her toes and ever-learning. Ellerie shares her experiences in the Air Force, including her roles in aircraft engineering, quality assurance, and leadership. She discusses the challenges and opportunities that arose from her diverse career and her journey into mentorship and coaching, specifically for female veterans, as they transition out of the structured parameters of military life and into the civilian beyond. With this in mind, Ellerie has founded Courageous Whisper Coaching, to help female veterans adjust smoothly into their next life chapters. We talk about why mentorship is so important, how multipotentiality is always bubbling under the surface, and also about the various projects Ellerie has undertaken post-military, including her hospitality business.Reach out to Ellerie to say hello, introduce yourself and learn more about her offers, and in particular: pass the word on to someone who fits her target client, and whom she might be able to help with her coaching!How to Contact Ellerie:Contact: courageouswhisper [at] gmail.comInstagram:@courageouswhisperLinkedIn: @ellerie-l-fuller---Find The MultiPod around the internet!Visit our new website, www.themultipod.com, for more show info, and our entire archive of 111 full episodes, plus bonus episodes and the Everything Conference miniseries.We also have a new guest application form, where you can send in your ideas for topics and who you would like to meet, and we'll set a recording date!Meanwhile, I'll be posting clips and updated on Instagram, @tedcraggpodcastingAnd, The MultiPod now has a sponsor!Quick Edit PodcastsYes, this is my own podcast production business.

The MultiPod is now also on video! You can watch today's episode on YouTube here.---Friend of the show and someone well-known to many of our listeners and viewers, John McKenzie drops by today to share some travel stories from a remarkable year of travel, even by his standards.In the past 12 months he's flown over Mosi-oa-Tunya (Victoria Falls), toured post-Assad Syria, done a Scandinavian circuit, added his 75th new country visited (Ireland), and still had time for lots of domestic travel around the United States, visiting family & friends. In fact, John and I saw each other for a fifth time in person this past June, at Camp Indie.Oh, and he's organized and hosted the first two CuriosiTrips: his original approach to group travel, spontaneity and multipotentiality.CuriosiTrips combine the best of group travel: shared experiences, guided information and stories, logistical details and safety & security, with the freedom to still explore on your own and follow your nose.Itineraries are loosely structured to allow for both curated experiences and spontaneous activities, for which you're welcome to include other members of the group, but there's no obligation or pressure to do so.If you're keen to visit a place for the first time but want a bit more structure in doing so, or if you've been to a certain place but want to see it from a different perspective, CuriosiTrips are a great option.The first trip took place in January of 2025 in Mexico City, and the second in May, in Washington, DC. Now, John is heading back to CDMX to revisit a few familiar sights, discover new ones, and take another group of curious travelers with him!The dates are January 15-20, 2026. Lots of information on how it works, what's included, how to plan and prepare and more, are included on the excellent page here: johnthetraveler.com/curiositrip-mexico-city-2026/MultiPod listeners and viewers! John has a special promo code for us: PUTTY25. You can apply it at the Stripe checkout page via the website above.Make sure you circle back to his home page itself too, to learn more about John's travels and also to sign up for his monthly newsletter (if you haven't already), which combines travel news and stories with some honest thoughts & personal reflections as a digital nomad, multipotentialite and committed traveler: johnthetraveler.comAND: John is a contributor to the new Traveler's Atlas of the World, a hardcover book from National Geographic, released on November 4, 2025! He added insight to the chapter on Eritrea and Djibouti, having visited there in 2024. Congratulations on this amazing opportunity!

You can watch today's episode on YouTube here.---How do we explain that feeling that pulls us towards doing a certain thing, or that in turn steers us away from doing other things? What makes us actually want to do something, that creates that desire, or pull?Dr. Matt Jarman is here to discuss that very question, the intriguing concept of 'pulls' - that draw individuals towards certain activities, particularly in the context of ADHD and multipotentiality. To then take it a step further, Matt has developed tools and systems to actually enhance productivity and satisfaction in your day to day life, despite, or maybe thanks to, your ADHD. https://productiveforgood.org/adhd-programs-overview/Matt is trained in organizational psychology, with a focus on productivity. His coaching revolves around four key factors that drive productivity: your mind, your tasks, your time and your pulls. It's this last one that may really speak to multipotentialites, since it's about what we feel drawn to pursue, why we feel that way but then how we can learn to "manage our mind" to find an effective and productive balance.If all this sounds fascinating and encouraging, you're in luck! We have a great conversation about how to turn your ADHD, multipotentiality, or whatever label you prefer into your own superpower - for a fulfilling life that is built around the strengths of your brain.How to Contact Dr. MattWebsite: productiveforgood.orgContact: support [at] productiveforgood.orgTake the free productivity self-assessment!---Find The MultiPod around the internet!Visit our new website, www.themultipod.com, for more show info, and our entire archive of 111 full episodes, plus bonus episodes and the Everything Conference miniseries.We also have a new guest application form, where you can send in your ideas for topics and who you would like to meet, and we'll set a recording date!Meanwhile, I'll be posting clips and updated on Instagram, @tedcraggpodcastingAnd, The MultiPod now has a sponsor!Quick Edit PodcastsYes, this is my own podcast production business.

How do we want to be identified in our work and life, and who gets to determine that? Who gets to choose what title we're known by? It would seem obvious that it should be up to us, but it's not always easy to navigate that, nor to find the confidence and even the permission to say, "Well, I'm more than my title. I'm more than just the job that I happen to have right now." You can grab a copy of More Than My Title here:morethanmytitle.com/booksMore Than My Title was released in 2020, and Sarabeth is coming out in 2026 with a new book: Seen Known Valued: How to Achieve Career Belonging in a Workforce Obsessed with Fit.Do you feel pressured to conform to not just a job position, but a work environment and culture that is stifling, incompatible or just plain boring? Let's assume that you do enjoy your work and career, but you don't want to feel like just another cog in the wheel, a replaceable part, a number.And as a multitalented multipotentialite, you may have been hired for "one role" but that doesn't mean you should supress your other interest and skills.Sarabeth's upcoming book helps us navigate the workplace and protect your sense of self, and put the onus on the workforce conforming more with you, rather than the other way around. In keeping with the spirit of this show, we encourage you to not just grab a copy of her books and share the link with others, but reach out to Sarabeth too, let her know your thoughts and feedback, and help expand this ever-growing global community of non-specialist mutlipotentialite polymath jack-of-all-trades non-conformist-add whatever other term you like fascinating people!Seen Known Valued is coming in 2026, stay tuned to The MultiPod and Sarabeth's accounts for more news!How to Contact Sarabeth Website: morethanmytitle.comContact: morethanmytitle.com/contactLinkedIn: @sarabethberk Instagram: @morethanmytitle---Find The MultiPod around the internet!Visit our new website, www.themultipod.com, for more show info, and our entire archive of 111 full episodes, plus bonus episodes and the Everything Conference miniseries.We also have a new guest application form, where you can send in your ideas for topics and who you would like to meet, and we'll set a recording date!Meanwhile, I'll be posting clips and updated on Instagram, @tedcraggpodcastingAnd, The MultiPod now has a sponsor!Quick Edit PodcastsYes, this is my own podcast production business.

The MultiPod is now also on video! You can watch today's episode on YouTube here.---Charlie Biluck is someone who was never quite sure what he wanted to do for a career. Of course, he had lots of different interests coming out of high school and into college, tried some different things, and has been in his current job for the past 9 years. Ultimately though, while he doesn't mind his current job, he's certainly yearning for a change.So over the last couple years or so, really just out of curiosity, Charlie dove into genealogy research and discovered a newfound passion. He decided to combine this passion with his love for travel and to start a new business. Called "Ancestral Wanderlust, his idea is to offer unique tours where people can visit the homeland of their ancestors.However, Charlie is now at that classic multipotentialite stage. He's wondering whether he can sustain his interest in this project and make the commitment required for it to be successful. So in today's episode, we learn about Charlie's story and what's brought him to this point. He's made a lot of progress., put in a lot of time and work, gone through some burnout and found some new focus. He's excited, and still believes in the project, in fact it's going stronger than ever: the first tour to Ireland is planned for May, 2026.But now we're at that point of what does the future hold, and we're not just talking four or five years from now. For a multipotentialite, it can be a pretty short window to when that switch flips between, "I'm really excited and passionate about this new thing," and, "Oh, I've put all this time/work/money into it and now I don't know if I still want to do it."It's something that I know most, if not all of us can sympathize with in some shape or form.So it's a big part of what we're going to chat about here today, as we explore multipotentiality with Charlie.How to Contact Charlie and Ancestral WanderlustWebsite: ancestralwanderlust.comEmail: info at ancestralwanderlust.comInstagram: @ancestralwanderlust---Find The MultiPod around the internet!Visit our new website, www.themultipod.com, for more show info, and our entire archive of 111 full episodes, plus bonus episodes and the Everything Conference miniseries.We also have a new guest application form, where you can send in your ideas for topics and who you would like to meet, and we'll set a recording date!Meanwhile, I'll be posting clips and updated on Instagram, @tedcraggpodcastingAnd, The MultiPod now has a sponsor!Quick Edit PodcastsYes, this is my own podcast production business.
