The MultiPod Guest Request Form

The MultiPod brainstorm of topics and ideas

---
The MultiPod is a podcast that explores career, identity, work/life balance, variety, and 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 that revolve around guests' stories, their perspectives on multipotentiality, and how they bind it all together. 

Our mission is to bring multipotentialites together to determine how they can support each other. 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? 

Don't hesitate: follow the steps, reach out 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.

Dance Walk Your Way Through Change, Adventure and Community, with Paul Petrosky

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?

Safety vs. Stepping Into the Unknown, with Dawn Wilson

The MultiPod is also on video! 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.

Insights on Writing for Neurodivergent Multipotentialites, with Céol

Céol is an international writer, currently working on two projects: a dystopian novel and a utopian novel, worlds where autistic and neurodivergent people feel welcome. Do these two novels intersect and play off of each other? That's just one of the areas we explore in our conversation today. Céol and I chat about the nature and mindset of writing, is it a struggle, is it a joy, could it be both, and maybe even at the same time?!Our conversation focuses on writing for neurodivergent multipotentialites, and Céol shares their different approach to deadlines and coworking, not to mention how to approach publishing. There's even a touch of sewing thrown in for context!A novel is typically a pretty mammoth task, something that can take many months or years to complete. This is not so much an episode for the NaNoWriMo crowd - neurodivergent multipotentialite authors may want to set their own pace instead. And Céol helps guide us through some good activities and techniques."Thinking about your novel is writing your novel, and you should think about it as such."How to Contact Céol:Write to Céol, share your feedback and insight, and maybe even discuss collaboration - ceol-u [at] proton.me---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.

You Have Permission to Bring Your Travel Memories Back to Life, with Melissa Rodway

The MultiPod is also on video! You can watch today's episode on YouTube here.---If you love to reminisce about your travels, or if you're like me and kind of hesitant to do so - a little wary of living too much in the past - my guest this week will unlock that permission and take you right back to your memories.Melissa Rodway is the author of The People You Meet: Luxury, Leeches, Love, and Lao-Lao with a Host of Interesting Characters in Southeast Asia, her memoir about a four month (largely) backpacking trip back in 2010. The trip was in fact a combination of mostly doing the backpacker circuit, but interspersed from time to time with free stays at luxury hotels and resorts, as her partner at the time was on a research trip to scope out potential clients for his travel company. Thus the stories are a mixture of roughing it with spiders and squat toilets before ending up the next day at a private island, boat access-only, 5-star resort.What I found really inspiring though is the feeling that it's not too late to reminisce, to share stories from past travels and to revisit a point in time in your life. For so long, I've felt like I missed the boat, it was too late, and no one would care about travel stories that were almost 15 years ago and likely grossly out of date.But think about the last time you read a memoir, autobiography or certainly a travel journal that may have been written by someone decades ago, or about a point in time long in the past. If the storytelling is vivid and engaging, and especially if you have your own connection to the subject (such as the people, the places, the themes involved), it still has value. Multipotentialites tend to struggle with this, but take it from Melissa, a fellow multipod and someone who herself debated revisiting the past: it's not too late, it's worth it and you have permission!Discover The People You Meet: Luxury, Leeches, Love, and Lao-Lao with a Host of Interesting Characters in Southeast Asia and grab a copy here! flyrodway.com/my-travel-stories How to Contact Melissa:Website: flyrodway.comPodcast: The Fly Travel Radio Podcast Contact: flytravelmedia [at] gmail.comInstagram:@fly_travel_mediaYouTube: @flytravelradio2048 ---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.
