The Multipotentialite Dude

Scott’s life story is one of profound resilience, peserverence, and triumph against challenge.  He was born in England but adopted by and raised as the son of a Midwestern civil servant and a factory worker. As a bookish biracial child raised by African-Americans in a conservative rural community, he never encountered others like him to look up to or act as mentors,  And so he grew up playing with crawdads and turtles alone in a nearby creek, looking up at the moon from the backroads in wheat fields — knowing there had to be more. 

Kids like Scott weren’t supposed to make something of themselves.  And on his journey, he faced tremendous — almost overwhelming — odds, including physical violence and obstacles presented by those who did not believe that he could or should succeed.  But thanks to a few inspiring teachers who believed in him, a lot of hard work, and a dash of luck, Scott eventually made it to New York City, where he graduated from Columbia Law School, and where he has lived ever since.

Scott’s history and triumphs against adversity led to unlikely and unexpected success as an attorney, government official, nonprofit executive, entrepreneur, and community leader in one of the toughest cities on earth. His journey has flown in the face of those who believed that individuals like him — working folks, people of color, and members of the LGBTQ+ community — could not and should not succeed, let alone lead. His ability to jump over barriers, consistently perform at the the highest levels across professional sectors, and repeatedly reinvent himself have given his message genuine authority and intellectual heft.  And it has given him a zealot's passion for ensuring that others never lose the internal fuel that will rocket them to ultimate levels of personal satisfaction and achievement.

"We live in an electric time- of uncertainty and upheaval- but also of unprecedented opportunity to create radical, systemic change for a better future."

His global worldview produced provocative new formats and platforms for untapped audiences. 

I would describe Nusrat with the words: MTV, many things, empathy, connecting, global, love & inequity.

This interview with Mark, who is an amazingly active, and inspiring octopreneur , tells a bit more about how the busy brain functions in a grounded body in normal life. With more than 500.000 people who have joined his embodiment conference, you could say he is "the embodiment man". 

I was wondering if the embodiment is the ultimate challenge for a hyperactive brain. It is very interesting to listen to a true multipotentialite with a strong commitment to teaching the world about your own body. He is an octopus, but with one extra strong tentacle.

Hoe bijzonder is het wel niet om een heel bedrijf met alleen maar multipotentialites te hebben? Eerst maar eens duidelijk krijgen wat een multipotentialite eigenlijk is. Eén ding is zeker, Chris is er zeker één!

Perry Knoppert (The Multipotentialite Dude) in gesprek met Christian Visser over hoe het zo gekomen is om een dreamteam te ontwikkelen met alleen maar creative helden met meer dan 5 poten. "Het is net al voetbalplaatjes sparen" aldus Visser, "Uiteindelijk heb je de perfecte collectie".

Zijn advies om in Nederland snel duidelijk te krijgen wat een multipotentialite is: "de EO-Jongeren dag kapen!". We spraken over vuig werk, en waar hij trots op is. Eén ding is zeker, dit is een master in "mensen raken", iets waar multipotentialites natuurlijk erg goed in zijn!

Ik zag Anne bij het programma "First Dates" en dacht meteen 'haar wil ik spreken'. Een multipotentialite, hoe denkt ze? Hoe werkt het in haar hoofd?

Anne is 25 jaar oud, is opgegroeid in een expat gezin en woont weer in Nederland. Het interview gaat over haar ADHD, het alles willen doen en snel verveeld raken......
