Thinking Differently with Andy Franklin

Why You Don’t Need a Niche


Listen Later

In this episode, I dive into Range by David Epstein and explore the surprising power of generalists in a world obsessed with specialists. From school to career to online platforms like YouTube, we’re constantly nudged to niche down and master one thing — but what if that’s not the only path to success?


I share my own thoughts on why we often feel lost when we don’t fit the mold, how society undervalues people with broad interests, and why the future may belong to those who can connect the dots across disciplines.


Whether you're a multipotentialite, a frustrated creative, or someone questioning your niche, this episode is for you.


If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing something wrong just because you love many things — this conversation might just reframe everything.

Any generalisations or nuance missed is never meant as a deliberate act of ill will towards any specific persons or groups.

It is my hope that my ideas will be just the catalyst for your own questions and journey around this subject.
