The MultiPod is also on video! You can watch today's episode on YouTube here.---Cuba is one of the many places in the world facing tremendous upheaval in 2026, and as we publish this episode, who knows how things may change even in just the next few weeks. We thus present an interesting snapshot in time for this week's episode, a replay of a conversation in late March of 2019 between Ted and his brother Andy, who had just returned from a multi-week backpacking trip around Cuba with his family. Andy and his wife Laura brought their three kids, aged at the time 6, 3 and 4 months old, to see the real Cuba, be immersed in the culture, and experience life outside the insulated resorts.Ted couldn't help but be curious not just about what life and travel is like in Cuba, but how to explore the island and navigate transportation, accommodation, food, health and all kinds of other logistics (diapers, laundry, strollers, baby supplies and more) with young kids.Andy shares stories of this incredible experience for all of them, shedding a spotlight on the kind, welcoming and resilient people.And now there is an added layer of poignancy, 7 years exactly after that trip, as Cuba and its people are stretched to the limit by world events. There is nowhere else quite like it, and this snapshot from just a few years ago really makes you think about what it must be like on the ground there now.The MultiPod is blessed with an archive of years of episodes, dating back to 2018, so from time to time we'll revisit stories from old friends, and if we're lucky maybe have a current update from them too!---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 also on video! You can watch today's episode on YouTube here.---This week we reconnect with an old friend, Kati Tempesta, joining us live from near Melbourne, Australia, and making a return appearance to The MultiPod! Our first conversation on the podcast took place in July of 2021, where we learned about Kati's back story, languages, community, food and family. It was a wonderful introduction, and you can revisit it here: A Celebration of Perseverance and the Puttyverse, with Kati - The MultiPod 081.Now, Kati has written a book, which is being released this week! Whispers of the Soul is an "Invitation to self-discovery," a companion on your journey towards clarity, inner peace, learning more about who you are and embracing your own inner strengths.The book is a combination of exercises, prompts, personal reflections and anecdotes from Kati, all with a goal of helping people become more grounded, calm, thriving, and better able to tune out the external distractions and pressures that consume us more and more.To that end, it is a very well-timed book, and for multipotentialites, you have a soulful ally in Kati, who has thrived deeply thanks to communities and connections, particularly the Puttyverse, where we first met.Whispers of the Soul explores what is contentment, happiness, compassion and companionship, framed through a lens of something to which multipotentialites can relate: feeling safe, realizing you're not alone, drawing strength from the journey and from the experiences of others.We have so much inside of us, to continue exploring, and Kati and her book are wonderful companions, reminding you of the things you already possess!Learn More About Kati:Get the book!

The MultiPod is also on video! You can watch today's episode on YouTube here.---Paul (Paulie) Petrosky makes his long-awaited debut on The MultiPod to shine a light on his journey navigating multipotentiality, and avoiding, for as long as he can remember, having to fit into that one path or identity.Especially when there are just so many things to do!Most recently, this navigation took him from his home in Austin, Texas to the other side of the world, spending five months between Australia and New Zealand. How did he find five months to spend down under? He quit his job. Packed away all his stuff. Threw some gear in a backpack and off he went.The trip helped rekindle perspective on time, commitment, joy and community, and as he's returned Stateside, he's relaunched himself into one of his deepest passions: dance walk!More than just having fun listening to music and dancing, dance walk is something much deeper. It brings people together, out of their homes, away from their screens, combatting solitude and the epidemic of loneliness. It's a shared experience of joy and positivity, in a time of deep division and isolation.So, Paul is here to tell us all about it, plus of course lots of other things: house/petsitting (something he's done for over a decade), virtual assistance, audio and video editing, travel, music, entrepreneurship, time management and oh - a teaser for a brand new podcast that's coming out soon!Reach out to Paul and jump into the music video that is his life :)Learn More About Paul:What is Dance Walk?

You can watch today's episode on YouTube here.---"I was stuffed in the box, but the box couldn't contain me."Dawn Wilson has always known she's a multipotentialite, pretty much from day one: "I'm not a pick-a-lane kind of person."She has navigated a career as an ESL teacher, something that is a great option for multipods, with all the variety and opportunity therein.But she joins us today to talk about getting out of that life, because: it's time.Dawn is building a coaching business, Our Sacred Wild, which guides people towards a path of self-awareness and spiritual growth. Whatever spirituality means to you, her process supports you in living in alignment with the truth of who you are, and from there, transformation, peace, health, wellness and abundance.That's the ethos of it, but then there's also the practical, nuts & bolts side of it. How does one get to the point, not just financially but psychologically, to where they can leave a job and an old life behind, and commit to something new? To go from employee to entrepreneur?Our conversation today revolves around this question, from the particularly meta perspective of someone who is in essence living what they teach. Is that a prerequisite? Not necessarily, but it certainly makes things that much more interesting!How to Contact Dawn:Website: www.oursacredwild.comContact: osacredwild [at] gmail.comYouTube: @projectliberate621Facebook: www.facebook.com/jottful---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.
