In this special between-a-sode, we talk about Emilie Wapnick’s book How to Be Everything. We discuss resonating with the idea of being a multipotentialite – or on team do-all-the-things – and Wapnick’s four categories: Group huggers, Slashers, Einsteins, and Phoenixes. We discuss the challenges and strengths with building our businesses as multipotentialites,and share how impatience often tells us when to move on to the next thing.

We answer:

• Are we group huggers? Slashers? Einsteins? And/or Phoenixes?
• How does impatience and the loathing scale play a role in how and when we decide to make changes?

Recommended Resources for this Episode:

• How to be Everything – Emily Wapnick – the idea that some people are multipotentialites whereas the societal pressure is to specialize.
• Reinventing You – Dorie Clark
