Multi-Passionate Like a Boss

Jennie O'Connor

1 Creator

For squirrel brains and shiny object lovers, the most freeing moment of your life will be the moment you discover conventional wisdom isn't meant for you. It's meant for linear thinkers and specialists who are motivated by a different definition of success.
We, on the other hand, know that doing what we love is not a privilege, it's an obligation. That's why in this multi-passionate corner of the internet, we’re designing lives and businesses on OUR terms, disrupting how it’s always been done and flipping the bird to all of the awful-sounding things we "should" do.
Each week, join writer and rabble-rouser Jennie O'Connor in discovering why it's way more fun to ask for forgiveness rather than permission.

David Wood on Focus (or Creating an "Engine" in Your Life and Business) - Episode #052

Multi-Passionate Like a Boss

03/31/22 • 48 min

#052 - Join me for the "well-oiled machine" episode where I talk with ex-consulting actuary for Fortune 100Companies, David Wood. David has built the world’s largest coaching business, helping business owners become the badass leaders people want to follow, creating more authenticity, connection, confidence, and revenue. We discuss:

planning out your days, weeks, months according to macros and micros,
CEO dates (these are BRILLIANT, and something to implement IMMEDIATELY),
time sprints using the Pomodoro Method,
why accountability is game-changing,
what "clarity of distance" means and how hiring a coach is one of the only ways to get it, and
how to decide when it's time to hire help.

David and Jennie both recommend using Upwork to hire, but ask questions that require thoughtful responses or use Jennie's trick of requiring them to use the phrase "Green M&Ms" in their query.
David also blasts hiring notifications onto his FB wall, especially to find local talent.
You can learn more about David at his website Focus.ceo. And Mouse in the Room, David's new book, is coming soon!

Steve Fredlund on Becoming Happier (or Playing to Your Strengths) - Episode #054

Multi-Passionate Like a Boss

04/14/22 • 53 min

#054 - Join me for the “know thyself” episode where I talk with actuary, nonprofit leader, humanitarian, podcaster, entrepreneur and poker champion, Steve Fredlund. Steve’s jam is coaching leaders to become happier, and he has some great advice in this episode on how to do just that. We discuss:

the evolution from doing what you think you should do to doing what you want,
the fact that work-life balance doesn't really apply to multi-passionates,
how to have a successful relationship with a specialist,
how the flip side of embracing change can be seen as "flaky" while the flip side of being risk-averse can be perceived as "loyal,"
and the courage required to figure out what you actually believe.

The StrengthsFinder test that Steve references has a cost, but this one is a free alternative.
