Welcome to another episode of "How to Podcast Series," the go-to podcast for podcasters navigating the exciting journey of starting and growing their shows.
Today we've got something special for all you budding podcasters out there. Ever felt like you have many interests and creative pursuits, making it challenging to answer the question, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" Well, you might just be a multipotentialite, and guess what? It could be your superpower.
We're delving into the world of multipotentialites with insights from Emilie Wapnick, an award-winning author and community builder. Emilie coined the term to describe individuals like themself with diverse passions and creative pursuits. So, if you've ever felt a bit lost or misunderstood in a world that favors specialization, you're not alone.
What do the legendary figures - Leonardo da Vinci, Albert Einstein, Maya Angelou, and Richard Branson shared this unique trait. Now, let's simplify the concept and explore the clues that might indicate you're a multipotentialite.
Clue 1: Non-Linear Career Path
Do you find yourself switching between different roles, companies, and industries that may seem unrelated? Multipotentialites have diverse career paths, applying transferable skill sets across disciplines. Now, think about how your podcasting journey can embrace this diversity.
Clue 2: Idea Generation
Are you constantly coming up with new ideas, perhaps more than you can handle? For multipotentialites, generating ideas is a passion, and they excel at it. Imagine infusing this into your podcast, keeping the content fresh and engaging for your audience.
Let's ask ourselves three crucial questions based on what we've covered:
- Do you often find yourself drawn to various topics and struggle to stick to just one for your podcast?
- Are you someone who thrives on generating ideas and has a list of potential podcast projects?
- Can you envision your podcast evolving dynamically, embracing change and offering a variety of content to your audience?
These questions serve as a compass to navigate your unique strengths in the podcasting landscape.
Remember, being a multipotentialite is not a limitation but a strength. Embrace it, and let your podcast shine! ___
