The MultiPod

In this episode, Mike from Alt-Nomad shares his insights on the pursuit of remote work and full-time travel. Don’t miss this lively conversation filled with ideas for developing yourself and finding your way through minimalism.

In this episode, Ted talks with Atiba Shaikh, a promising young blogger, talented writer and multipotentialite. She shares how blogging is particularly ideal for the multipotentialite, challenges you to focus while incorporating your multiple interests, and can even leave you questioning your career path.

In this episode, we explore who our role models are as multipotentialites. True to form, multipods draw inspiration and motivation from numerous sources, resulting in multiple role models.

Inspired by the blog post on Puttylike, we consider the concept of the "frankenstein" role model: putting bits and pieces together to create a hybrid image of someone.

Since we are each a construct of our own interests and passions, we cannot expect to find a role model that mirrors our own, individual lives. So we create one! 

In this episode, Gillian from the Multipod Motivator explains how she has been able to find career stability by developing and applying skills in multiple, parallel jobs.  Don't miss this fun conversation with lots of great anecdotes!

The second Puttython of 2018 is upon us, taking place the weekend of October 27-28, and The MultiPod is here to get you set up, excited, motivated and determined to take some action, even if it means just sitting on the beach! The Puttython is our chance to set aside distractions, let ideas and inspiration flow freely, and give ourselves permission to try new things, complete other things or just let spontaneity happen.

For instance, you could be in China, teaching English, like Michael. A Puttytribe member for over a year, he's off on new adventures spending a year abroad from the UK, and shares with us his experiences and observations so far, his plans for the weekend and why it was time to pursue his long-held dream to live in China.

Michael has a fabulous new travelblog, complete with many great pictures of his travels so far and day-to-day life in Guiyang.

In a continuation from last week’s episode Sara and Charlotte discuss how to design a circular community that reduces the influence of traditional pyramid hierarchical structures. They talk about leaving healthy room for failures, how to learn from them, and why you should ask more of people so you don’t end up with the bare minimum.   

A well designed circular community will perpetuate like a living organism, with life and vigor. Don’t miss the discussion!

This is part two of a two-part discussion.
