The best podcasts for multi-passionates, squirrel brains & shiny object lovers

Who am I?

I write about thriving as a multi-passionate creator and how to get yourself to do scary things so you can live an extraordinary life. My goal is to make as many beautiful things as I can in my short time on this earth and I’m on a mission to help others do the same. If you want to write emails that people who AREN'T even related to you want to read, sign up for my newsletter here: www.jennieoconnor.com/damngoodemails And if you're in need of a pep talk, my upcoming book "Useful AF in a Zombie Apocalypse" will convince you that multi-passionates are capable of extraordinary greatness. ***Why I Chose This Subject*** Did you know this quote has a second half? A Jack-of-all-trades is a master of none . . . It does. And it's this: . . . but oftentimes better than a master of one. THAT is why I do what I do. Because someone somewhere decided to send those of us who can't choose only one thing the message that we aren't as good as specialists. And we've allowed that message to make us feel flaky and non-committal at best, or like big fat failures at worst. Multi-passionate minds are super powered; they can connect dots most people can't even see. Curiosity is a gift that creates deeper connections and leads to the world's greatest innovations. It IS possible to thrive as a multi-passionate entrepreneur, but it requires a new definition of success and permission to keep experimenting until you find the thing that makes you forget to eat and pee. I think multi-passionates would be useful AF in a zombie apocalypse. So let's stick together in case it ever comes to that!

My Show

What is my podcast about and/or how does it relate to the playlist topic you chose?

as a way for me to share the stories of other squirrel-brained entrepreneurs who are thriving despite living in a world of shiny objects. My solo episodes teach how to make running a creative business more efficient and more fun.

What is my podcast playlist about?

The word is spreading that being multi-passionate is a thing to be celebrated! This list represents creators who I have personally met and fallen in love with, who, like me, are on a mission to help you amplify your own genius.

3. Meredith for Real: the curious introvert

Meredith is a natural behind the microphone and has fascinating conversations about everything from psychic marines and antique vibrator museums to weed nuns and cannibalism. If you're curious about #allthethings, this show is a MUST in your regular rotation.

Meredith for Real: the curious introvert
play

Play first episode

Each episode explores a taboo question or cultural blind spot with an expert who is themselves, a paradox -
Like the atheist doctor who studied near death experiences for 50 years (ep 224)
Or the deeply religious man studied by NASA who sees UFOs regularly (ep 261).
The mission is to inspire the kind of curiosity that looks for & celebrates nuance, because we all deserve a more curious future.
So tune in each week (new episodes every Monday) to question things like American individualism (ep 260), trigger warnings (ep 208) & circumcision (ep 178).
Still not sure where to start?
Other listeners loved ep 230 - Can a sexless marriage survive? and ep 237 - Black man who attends KKK rallies: race & friendship
