The MultiPod

Regular co-hosts, Ted and Vanessa, are joined by her husband Taylor to reflect on the differences between online and in-person relationships, our own experiences of meeting people in person after first knowing them online, and then take the opportunity to chat about the experience of the partner to a multipotentialite, and the compromise and support that comes with our many career changes.

The MultiPod takes a new turn with a focus on biographies of historic multipotentialites. Nicola Tesla and Howard Hughes take center stage today, and we put their stories into the context of the modern multipotentialite to give us all energy and inspiration to discover what we're each capable of achieving.

Thriving multipotentialite, Flo Stummer, joins us today from Austria, sharing some valuable lessons in planning, expectations, making the most of failures and most of all the importance of good, clear communication. Through a combination of business and academic life, Flo helps us explore the definition and meaning of "success" and sets us up to be prepared and confident in our new endeavors.

Our guest today, Mary, is an inspiration for a life well-lived as a multipotentialite. From education to permaculture gardening, sailing to learning to play the bodhran, Mary has embraced the winding path of adventure and discovery, a journey that shows no signs of slowing down. Join us for a light-hearted, wide-ranging, motivating, and inspiring conversation about all the things you can accomplish when you put your mind to them. With a handy scheduler/planner to help you out!

Our guest today is, like any multipotentialite, full of talents, ideas, dreams and motivations. However, she has also been through the type of experience that we usually only observe from a distance, involving celebrities and strangers, the kind of thing we would usually say, "It'll never happen to me." Well, for Kylie it did: a workplace conflict that was dragged out into the local media, and she was publicly fired. Kylie is here to to share some insight into what this kind of trauma feels like, and how to summon the courage to believe in and have faith in who you are. We all seek validation from different sources, but at the end of the day it has to start with yourself.

MultiPod Extras is an ongoing project of The MultiPod, where the hosts test out new podcast ideas in a bonus, typically one-off format. We present a short excerpt from Breathing Wind, a podcast on grief and loss, produced by our guest in Episode 57, Sarah Davis. This 3 minute clip will give you a good feel for the style of engrossing storytelling of her guests and the immersive experience of hearing them share their insight.

Grief. It's a delicate topic, and one particularly profound and prescient, given the current state of the world. It's a discussion that we've had in mind for a while on The MultiPod, but we waited for the right moment to tackle it, and the right guest to do it with. We have that guest for you today: Sarah Davis, host of "Breathing Wind" podcast, who has taken her own experience with grief – "grief that takes your breath away" – and turned it into a passionate study on what is grief, how we mourn, and how we can help others, each in their own way along their own journey.

Join hosts Ted and Sara and our special guest Ti0, a "Consciousness Researcher," as we analyze how to find clarity as we each deal with the massive change that COVID-19 has introduced and has in store for us.

MultiPod Extras is an ongoing project of The MultiPod, where the hosts test out new podcast ideas in a bonus, typically one-off format. This Extra episode comes from Vanessa, who has launched a new travel podcast called "That's the Ticket!" with her friend, Rinat Ben Avraham. The goal is to talk about travel advice, tips and recommendations, and get an understanding for the real experience of travel.

It's a rapidly changing world, and we're all trying to make sense of it. The coronavirus pandemic and the COVID-19 global shutdown is in full swing. But none of us know how it is going to turn out, or what changes it will bring.
