This is a very special episode, it was actually recorded way back in 2020. Was almost a prototype for my Round 2 PolyCast, but in reality it was just a conversation between two polymathic friends. I think due to that I felt like it was too personable to share, but in retrospect I was just simply overthinking it.It is a great discussion on what polymath education would look like, how we learn, what are the challenges, and more.We go into the endeavors we have in our lives, it is surprising how much has changed, but also how LITTLE has changed as well!I hope you enjoy!Here is the original interview:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=81EDXXtyyoMLinks:https://www.instagram.com/polymathicwallace/https://verrocchiostudio.com/
Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz was much more than Isaac Newton's rival. He was a polymath who dabbled in everything from music to metaphysics and embodied the spirit of true deep generalism. Modern marketers can connect the dots, even if you didn't know they exist, by studying continual change: from calculus or clicks."Absorb what's useful, reject what's useless."{00:10:04} - “A lot of people think that there are these tried and true tactics for this and that and the other thing. And there's just so much nuance to our businesses, and then there's so much nuance to the scale that you're at. There's so much nuance to the context of the company.” - Rabah{00:19:38} - “Every part of a digital experience, perhaps your website, every product recommendation, every marketing message, could be tailored in the future to reflect the unique needs and desires and the context of the individual consumer. What Leibniz teaches us through monadology is about our interconnectedness: to a brand, to a purchase, to a product, and each other.” - Phillip{00:34:27} - “The way I define or bifurcate marketing from sales is marketing is selling one to many. Sales is selling one-to-one. And now you're seeing a blurring of the lines with technology. Now I can market almost one to one, not in the actual literal sense, but in that persona, jobs to be done, where that person is on their customer journey, and what I know about them.” - RabahAssociated Links:Learn more about Rabah Rahil and FERMÀTHave you checked out our YouTube channel yet?Subscribe to Insiders and The Senses to read more about what we are witnessing in commerce.Listen to our other episodes of Future Commerce
Is the “path of least resistance” a universally true experience? Do all customers experience resistance the same way? In this episode, Rishabh Jain and Rabah Rahil from Fermát explore this idea through the legacy of polymathic thinker Pierre de Fermat, who pioneered the principle of least time in the 1660s.Forging ‘desire paths'{00:20:48} “In the nondeterministic consumer world, you have millions and millions and millions of opportunities to screw up a test with a customer because they don't behave in a controlled way.” - Phillip{00:25:55} “I think, you know, there's a saying where it's like the future's already here. It's just unevenly distributed. This already happens. And the place this happens is in B2B.” - Rishabh{00:47:06} “The website is turning into the business card...I think zero-click commerce is going to be the path.” - RabahKey TakeawaysWhile the “path of least resistance” is a maxim in conversion rate optimization, optimization is highly personal to the customer and their motives. The nature of CRO will evolve with more 1-1 personalized and ephemeral experiences.The ‘website' as a monolith is a construct of search engine optimization. In the coming future, the rise of constellation sites allows for personalized customer experiences.Brand roles and channels will need to adapt as privacy changes shape the future of web commerce. Zero-click commerce could bea future of online shopping. The website model is evolving, and multiple user experiences and types of interfaces will become a norm.Associated Links:Learn more about Rishabh Jain and FERMÀTCheck out Trekonomics by Manu SaadiaHave you checked out our YouTube channel yet?Subscribe to Insiders and The Senses to read more about what we are witnessing in the commerce worldListen to our other episodes of Future CommerceHave any questions or comments about the show?

Each season on Decoded, we demystify a nebulous concept in commerce. In this season of Decoded, presented by FERMÀT, Phillip sits down with Rabah Rahil, the CMO at FERMÀT, to examine the legacy of these prolific thinkers, inventors, and polymaths, philosophers, and mathematicians whose work inspired Steve Jobs, Jeff Bezos, and Bill Gates. One of these inspirations from the past is the mathemetician Srinivasa Ramanujan. Listen now!The best time to be excellent, and the worst time to be average.{00:08:07} - “The first lesson we could learn {from Srinivasa Ramanujan} is becoming your own self-advocate, especially in your career, and understanding that maybe you have a talent and an intuition that can be useful for others.” - Phillip{00:10:12} - “Outside of an Ivy or if you want to go study under a professor, I think academia isn't a lot of times the path for you because I think a lot of times when you have these innate geniuses, if you would have taken them through an academic establishment, the creativity would have been beaten out of them. Because when you think of academics, it's very conformist.” - Rabah{00:13:50} - “I would rather hire people that have had a bunch of failures and pick themselves back up versus people that have never failed. Because I found those people that have never failed are candidly just quite soft.” - Rabah{00:17:05} - “Some truths look like universal laws in one context. But if you zoom out to a bigger context, the law doesn't hold true anymore. The law is broken from a different point of view.” - Phillip{00:24:38} - “When you lack conviction, you can be convinced that your intuition is wrong.” - Phillip{00:29:55} - “The cheat code of mathematics is it's cold and sterile, and there's usually a right answer. What we deal with is humans. Humans are insanely jagged. They flip from logic to emotion to logic to emotion, and there's going to be way more nuance in like, that's why marketing degree is an arts.” - RabahAssociated Links:Learn more about Rabah Rahil and FERMÀTAncient Aliens episode about Srinivasa RamanujanHave you checked out our YouTube channel yet?Subscribe to Insiders and The Senses to read more about what we are witnessing in the commerce worldListen to our other episodes of Future CommerceHave any questions or comments about the show?

The phases are the various niches/focuses of the brand/channel. I spent most of 2023 trying to balance out a few of them. They evolved in their own rights, and this year I think they have a lot of potential ahead. MAIN - Knowledge Management for Polymaths: https://polyinnovator.space/tag/newsletter/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8CiDSb1peL5f8XD45ErmnQ SUB - PolyInnovator Gaming/Generalist Gamer: https://www.youtube.com/@polyinnovatorgaming https://paragraph.xyz/@polyinnovator SUB - PolyInContent YT/Digest: https://www.youtube.com/@PolyInContent https://polyinnovator.space/tag/the-polyincontent-digest/
Going forward I'm changing how I market PolyInnovator. Yes, it is my personal brand, but the meta-niche has always solely been polymathy. However the main topics have been other, such as the DIY Modegree. It was a form of knowledge management, and then I started my content creation/repurposing newsletter. Which employed my content production system as its main base. Both ended up being part of this holistic PolyInnovation Operating System or PIOS. The niche going forward will be Knowledge Management for Polymaths. It is more marketable, and gives a reason for me to have such templates like the Modegree. Plus it stills gives me a reason to talk about polymathy!
Using the PIOS framework, regardless of tool, for multidisciplinary/polymathic people!

Our guest this week is Dr Carys Sonnenberg, a highly qualified and experienced GP and menopause doctor, with a passion for women's health. Carys qualified as a doctor in 1996 and has been a GP for over 20 years specialising in women's health and menopause. She runs a women's health clinic in her NHS practice where she helps patients manage their contraception, PMS, PCOS, endometriosis, and menopause. Carys founded Rowena Health so that she could also provide top-quality care to more women and set up a clinic where she can practice at the highest standard. Last year we met Dr Carys Sonnenberg in Parliament Square at the Menopause Rally and instantly knew we wanted to have a longer Menopause chat for the podcast. Dr Carys wants women to live life to the fullest in menopause and tells us that our metabolic health is not something we can see and it's not a sexy topic but it is very important for our future health. We find out that there are around 3.5 million women living with a heart or circulatory disease (including heart disease and stroke) in the UK. Heart attacks kill an average of more than 70 women every day and people from some ethnic backgrounds are more prone to insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome. So what is Metabolic syndrome? Have you ever been told that your body has become resistant to the hormone insulin, leading to high blood sugar levels? Are you concerned about High blood pressure? Has your waistline got bigger in menopause, is it greater than 80cm? Do you have unhealthy levels of blood fats ? These are a collection of ‘health risk factors', and having three of these might suggest you have metabolic syndrome. Dr Carys explains what Metabolic Syndrome has to do with Menopause, what exactly insulin does and what insulin resistance is and how it affects us, now and longer term health. Plus what we can do about it, Metabolic syndrome is not to be feared but learned from. We also ask Carys about Statins and high cholesterol an more. This is a conversation you don't want to miss. We continue with our Book Collective, Femina by Janina Ramirez and this week we chat about chapter 5- Polymaths and Scientists. We meet Hildegard a medieval nun who writes about orgasms, advocates for abortion and describes her Visions/menopause migraines? There's a book heist too - it's a humdinger of a chapter! One of our lovely collective has sent in a biscuit recipe for our Foodie Collective, Grantham Ginger Bread. Ingredients: 100 grs butter or margarine. 350 grs caster sugar. 1 egg, beaten. 250 grs self-raising flour. 5 ml ground ginger. Method: Grease and line 2 baking sheets. Heat oven to 150°. Cream butter and sugar together in a bowl until pale and fluffy. Gradually beat in the egg. Sift the ginger and flour into the mix work in with a fork to form a dough. Roll the dough into walnut size balls. Place on the baking sheets apart. Bake for 40-45 minutes. There's a fantastic quote from Jinty and we meet the vigilante group of women from Enfield North London that are keeping their children safe on the streets. We look at the harmful chemicals in some sunscreens and the Gender Health gap of the week! It's another episode brimming with chat, your comments, and all the usual shenanigans.

Polymaths aren’t inherently better at their preferred forms of media…but honestly, when you start to think of modern multi-disciplinary creatives like Brandy, Donald Glover or Lucy Liu…it certainly seems like splitting interest into multiple fields can have a big payoff. So let’s talk about Pennsylvania’s Liz Lehman. On top of being an accomplished queer activist […] The post The Scary Jokes: “Demons of Accident” appeared first on KUT & KUTX Studios -- Podcasts.
I've always been amazed by the fact that there are genius levels of human intelligence that are far beyond the ordinary. Some people seem to be born with remarkable talents and capabilities that the rest of us clearly don't have. That's not to say that these people don't need to work and practice to perfect their skills. They clearly do. Still, they possess brilliant talents that are far above those of the average person. Take music for example. My mother was a real lover of classical music. She attended concerts regularly and had a great collection of records that she would play in our house all the time. And without question, I knew that her fondest hope for me was that I would become a concert pianist, not that I had ever shown any talent or the slightest bit of interest in it. Still, she made sure that I took piano lessons every week for about six years, until the painfully obvious became painfully obvious, and she finally let me quit. On some level though, I've always been kind of sorry about it and I've tried to pick it up every now and then. I've even taken a few lessons here and there but still, all I can do is play a few basic scales and bang out a couple of elementary songs, and that's it. As a result of all this, to say that I have the keyboard finesse of an aging chimpanzee would be more kind than accurate. So, it always makes me wonder - what's the story with these geniuses, who are able to play as if the music is pouring out of their very soul. They perform these outrageously difficult compositions by heart, without reading any music at all. In a state of pure inspiration, they don't even open their eyes half of the time and yet, these magnificent melodies flow out of them in perfect timing and sequence, seemingly with no effort at all. It just boggles the mind. If you want to see a truly amazing example of this, watch Leonard Bernstein conduct the New York Philharmonic Orchestra at Lincoln Center in 1976, performing Rhapsody in Blue. The multi-talented maestro conducts the fifty-piece orchestra while he performs as the piano soloist at the same time. I've probably watched it over twenty times and I still can hardly believe my eyes and ears. But this astounding manifestation of genius intelligence also has two other forms of it that are just as hard for me to grasp. They are child prodigies and polymaths. We've had child prodigies among us for many centuries. For some inexplicable reason, certain young children manifest extremely advanced talent and abilities at a very early age, and no one has been able to figure out why this happens. Probably the most famous prodigy in musical history was Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. By age five, he was already extremely competent on the violin and piano and he began composing music. At six, he embarked on a three-year career, playing before the crowned heads of Europe. Can you imagine that? Think about what you were like at that age. By six I had memorized the theme song to the Mickey Mouse Club and my parents probably thought I was a genius because of it. Anyway, there have been child prodigies in dozens of different fields including math, science and the visual arts, but it's still pretty rare. The current thinking is that it's only a one-in-ten-million phenomenon. And staying within the realm of music, even though it's quite a stretch from Mozart, Stevie Wonder was clearly one of them, as well. Born six weeks premature, he went blind from having too much oxygen in his incubator. Still, in his early childhood he taught himself how to play the piano, harmonica and drums and along with his powerful singing voice, signed his first recording contract in 1961 at age eleven. Since then, he has won far too many awards to list here, including, twenty-five Grammies, eight Honorary Doctorates, an Academy Award and the Presidential Medal of Freedom. And in all this time, he hasn't slowed down a bit. Now, let's go on to the polymath, which is another manifestation of intelligence that I just can't fathom. Simply put, these are people who are able to excel in several different fields, which are often completely unrelated. Some of the most famous ones have been Leonardo da Vinci, Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson. But there have been other, quite surprising ones as well. I was pretty amazed when I found out that Danny Kaye, the famous performer from the golden age of movies and TV, was one of them. He was an extraordinarily gifted actor, singer, and dancer. But it turns out that his genius as an entertainer was just the tip of the iceberg. He was also an expert jet pilot who flew his own plane. He owned a Lear Jet and flew it to sixty-five different countries, mainly on UNICEF tours for the United Nations. In addition, he spoke eleven different languages and although he couldn't read a note of music, he was a talented conductor of symphony orchestras and spent fifteen years giving benefit performances with the finest orchestras in the world including the National Symphony, the Boston Symphony and the New York Philharmonic. He was also a bit of a sports nut. He was a single digit golfer who grew up a die-hard Brooklyn Dodgers fan. And as a lifelong lover of baseball, as well as a savvy businessman, he was one of the founders of the Seattle Mariners. But that's not all. He was also a master chef, particularly in Chinese and French cuisine and he is still the only non-professional chef to ever be awarded France's highest culinary award, which is bestowed by the Sorbonne. And finally, and probably the most unexpected, he was an honorary member of the American College of Surgeons as well as the American Academy of Pediatrics. He had always wanted to be a doctor, but his family couldn't afford higher education, so he went into show business instead. Still, he always maintained his serious interest on medicine. But it went a little further than that. He was close friends with the heart surgeon who performed history's first coronary bypass. He would observe operations, which they would later discuss in great detail. “Danny has had no medical training, but he knows his way around an operating room” the doctor said. “He's so intelligent he picks up immediately what he has observed.” This was all absolutely remarkable to me because I had been aware of Danny Kaye as an entertainer for many years, but had never heard about all of his other abilities. When it comes to observing this kind of extraordinary talent, I had a similar experience when I ran across someone who was a child prodigy, but was also a budding polymath as well. It happened when I was beginning to explore the world of personal growth, which was really just a by-product of having been a die-hard Beatles fan for over a decade. Capturing global attention, the Fab Four had gotten into meditation in 1968 and had been studying under a teacher named the Maharishi, who was a classical Indian guru, with flowing white robes and a long, grey beard. Like the millions of other Beatles devotees throughout the world, I basically mirrored whatever they did, so I started practicing the same form of meditation. But I wasn't very sincere about it and after a couple of months, I stopped. Then, a few years later, a friend told me that he had started practicing a deeper form of meditation that was doing him a lot of good. A little while later, he told me that the teacher of that meditation, who was supposed to be a major authority on inner growth, was coming to Philadelphia to give a talk about it. It sounded interesting until he told me that the teacher was only fourteen years old. I don't remember what my exact reaction was, but I'm pretty sure I burst out laughing because it seemed ridiculous on the face of it. I mean the Beatles' guy looked like he was in his mid-eighties and this kid was barely a teenager. What could he know about the evolution of higher consciousness? Out of deference to my friend, I decided to do a little research and I learned to my surprise that in the East, this kind of thing does happen from time to time. There were child prodigies who were renowned spiritual teachers. There was Sri Ramakrishna, a globally respected teacher during the mid-1800s, who had been recognized as a spiritual master at the age of nine. His successor, Swami Vivekananda, was recognized in the same way at age of nineteen. And the current Dalai Lama assumed the full authority of his role when he was fifteen years old. As an aside, in our culture, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. became a fully ordained minister at nineteen. Anyway, this fourteen-year-old teacher was named Prem Rawat, and when I went to hear him speak at the Irvine Auditorium of the University of Pennsylvania, I found him to be surprisingly impressive. There was a calm, but extremely powerful presence about him, and he seemed to really know what he was talking about. I observed him rather carefully from the time he entered the prestigious auditorium until he left, and perceived nothing about him that had anything to do with his age whatsoever. Rather than seeming like a young teenager, he had the presence of a secure adult about him. In fact, he seemed to be the most centered individual I had ever seen. But there was also a subtle, yet clearly present joyfulness about him that seemed foundational to his being. Again, it was quite impressive. By the way, as far as being a child prodigy is concerned, he had been in this teaching mode for quite some time. He had begun his work at the age of four and started meditating at six. At the age of nine, he became the recognized teaching authority to several hundred thousand Indian meditators. But there's also a profound element about being a teacher of inner growth that I found to be most intriguing. It's different from being a genius in art, music or science because in those realms, you can tell if someone is truly a master of their craft just by observing their work. You look at the art, listen to the music or watch the dance, and you can quickly get a sense of how good they are. But with a teacher of inner growth, it's quite different, because the purpose of the teaching isn't just to entertain and inspire you, it's to actually help you expand and grow your own consciousness. And the only way you can tell if the teacher is truly a master of the craft is by the actual experiences you start having within your own awareness. And this is not just in the short-term. It pertains to the long-term as well. Are you continually growing beyond where you were? Are you becoming kinder and more compassionate? Are you feeling more connected to the larger and higher consciousness? You have to determine all this for yourself. It doesn't matter what anyone says, what matters is what's going on inside of you. Along these lines, that night at Penn, Prem made a statement that I still remember. He said if you find his information to be helpful, then enjoy it. If not, then immediately leave it and move on. So, as a child prodigy, I found him to be most impressive, but surprisingly, he was also blossoming into becoming a polymath as well. Over the years that followed, while his primary focus was always on teaching meditation and inner growth, his considerable other talents spread out into seemingly unrelated fields. For instance, in the aviation world alone, his accomplishments are truly noteworthy. He is a fully licensed jet pilot, with tens of thousands of hours of flight time, and was one the youngest pilot in aviation history to be certified to fly a certain sophisticated jet aircraft. He is also a helicopter pilot and a veteran helicopter instructor as well. More down to earth, he is also a master car mechanic and one of his hobbies is the total restoration of antique automobiles, of which he has completed several. In addition, he is also a prolific photographer on a professional level, and several of his photographs are hung in galleries around the world. On top of all this, as an author, his recent book on personal growth is a New York Times best seller. And on the lighter side, he is a tremendous chef and has been approached a few times to host a cooking show. And get this last one - he writes his own computer code and is a master programmer. For some reason, to me that one really takes the cake. After using a computer for over forty years, I still have absolutely no idea how they work. Well, so much for geniuses, prodigies and polymaths. In essence, as impressive as they are, this episode isn't really about just listing their incredible accomplishments. It's really about the fact that they exist at all and what that says about human intelligence, and our possible potential. For starters, it puts things into perspective. If they're only one in ten million, then the nine million, nine hundred thousand, nine hundred and nine of the rest of us have an opened door to feeling truly humble. We've all heard the phrase - a jack of all trades but a master of none. Well as far as I'm concerned, I'm not even one of the jacks. Still, to close, here are a couple of quick, rather optimistic things to consider. First, neuroscience believes that within the next hundred years, we will find methods that will enhance our intelligence exponentially, taking us into levels of existence that are inconceivable to us now. According to them, we all have genius potential within us and as the brain sciences evolve, we will find ways to bring it into the forefront. And they also say that we all possessed genius intelligence through the age of five, so in one way or another, we were all child prodigies. And finally, the essence of our intelligence shows that we are all inherently positive beings, biased to the highest. And that is revealed by the simple fact that we have a finite capacity for suffering and pain, while we each have an infinite capacity for happiness and joy. I don't know about you, but all of this inspires a great deal of hope in me. So that will be the end of this episode. As always, keep your eyes mind and heart opened, and let's get together in the next one.

Anne-Laure Le Cunff is our guest on the 331st episode of The Copywriter Club Podcast. After deciding to go back to school to study neuroscience, Anne-Laure created a newsletter that turned into the thriving business known as Ness Labs, a science-based learning community to become more creative and productive without the burnout. Anne-Laure shares how business owners can minimize content overload and make their lives simpler. Here's how the conversation goes: Why Anne-Laure decided to go back to school and shift her career path. What is the generation effect and how it'll help you learn more effectively? How a newsletter became a full-fledged business. The importance of finding the learning output that works for you. The reality of being an “expert.” Is there such a thing as the curse of knowledge? Why everyone could benefit from becoming a teacher. How do you connect all the things you've learned? What is mind gardening and how does Anne-Laure use it in her life? Are you holding onto too much random information? How she organizes her notes and filters through her mind as she takes notes. A book reading process – is it effective? How to decide what to learn next. What does creative chaos actually consist of? The benefits of breaking up your work into smaller tasks. How to work with your team in creative chaos. Do you have to change your work style for other people? Time management and themed days – could it work for you? How she balances her Ph.D. program and running a business. Anne-Laure's advice for creating your OWN ladder and path. Do you have transferable skills? Assess before you pivot. How to run experiments on yourself, collect data, and conduct personal check-ins. What to watch out for to avoid burnout. AI and the future of copywriting. Tune into the episode or read the transcript below. The people and stuff we mentioned on the show: The Copywriter Think Tank Kira's website Rob's website Ness Labs Anne-Laure's Twitter page The Copywriter Club Facebook Group The Copywriter Underground Free month of Brain.FM Full Transcript: Rob Marsh: There's a term renaissance man or renaissance woman that refers to people like Leonardo da Vinci, who had many interests in hobbies from writing and art to engineering and architecture. Another word used to describe people like this is Polymath. Isaac Newton and Benjamin Franklin were Polymaths. And Polymath or Renaissance woman are the terms that come to mind when I try to describe our guest for this week's episode of the Copywriter podcast. She is Anne-Laure Le Cunff, and she knows a lot about a lot. She's a neuroscientist, entrepreneur, and ex-Googler, expert note-taker, and all-around genius. Not to mention that she's a really cool person to hang out with. I have been following Anne-Laure for a few years and was thrilled when she agreed to join us to talk about learning and neuroscience and expertise and getting things done and so much more. I think you were going to love this interview. Kira Hug: But before we jump into the interview, this podcast is sponsored by the Copywriter Think Tank. That is our mastermind for copywriters and creatives and other marketers who want to figure out what's next in their business. That could be anything from stepping on a stage for the first time or creating a new product, maybe a new podcast, maybe a new video channel. Maybe you want to build out an agency or a product company. Maybe you just want to be the best-known copywriter or expert in your niche. Regardless of what it is, or even if you don't know what it is exactly, but you know there's something out there for you, this is how we help copywriters in the Think Tank. You can learn more if you're interested in being a part of a mastermind and joining us at retreats.
Aksinya Samoylova is both a pioneering HR professional, and a passionate progressive educator. She saw that versatility is often overlooked or ignored in the hiring and management process, and that the same issue is endemic to international educational practices. Aksinya felt compelled to investigate polymathy and how it impacts education and work. The result was her book, Why Polymaths? Aksinya's keynote speeches and public talks, delivered in English and German draw on a unique combination of the original research she has compiled over many years, and her passion for Philosophy, Psychology, World History, Art History, Science, Asian Studies, and Indian Classical Dance. She is fluent in four languages and knows three others at different levels. As a graduate in linguistics and pedagogy, she created a concept for a polymathic approach to learning for both individuals and educational insitutions. Aksinya manages a polymath agency, the first talent acquisition service in the world to specialize in working with companies seeking multidisciplinary professionals. Aksinya lives with her husband and daughter in Vienna, Austria. Social Links LinkedIn: @aksinya Twitter: @aksinyaPolymath Instagram: @polymathhistory
A (meta)-conversation with our Guest Torsten TROJA Jacke - About High Sensitive People, Polymaths, Neurodiversity in Companies and so much more Aaaaaand this here is our biggest Experiment - yet! This whopping 3:15 hours Episode has two parts: 1. The first part is in English - Sharon and Alex talk about a conversation they had with their second guest Torsten Roman Jacke - aka Troja Aktivist42. 2. And since that conversation was in german we appended the German talk after the English episode at 1 hour and 28 minutes. Please enjoy Sharon butchering the German grammer! ;D So please tell us if you listened to the German version as well and what you think about our meta-conversation ;) You can reach Sharon via her Linkedin Profile https://www.linkedin.com/in/sharon-leigh-pp4l/ and Alex via e-mail: mail@alex-kahl.de. Aaaaand here are the show notes!: Alex tries to explain the concept of Flachwitze really briefly and unsuccessfully :) How was it to follow the German conversion with an ADHD Brain? Key Takeaway Alex: Neuro-Utopia Experiment was to bring people together DEI - Diversity Inclusion Companies are saying: How can we make money from these new-fangled Neuro diversities? We think: How can we help stop the usual “profiting on the backs” of the maginalized?

If you want to become a creator or start a one-person business (but don't want to show your body, start drama, or work for other businesses) then becoming a value creator is for you. It works perfect for polymaths (people with multiple interests) and those that love self-improvement or learning. Your job is to become an expert by gaining a holistic view of your interests, then distribute the value you create with social media. This podcast was originally a YouTube video, you can watch that video here: YouTube version: https://youtu.be/RuFjY1MV4LM The Koe Letter (written version): https://thedankoe.com/the-rise-of-the-value-creator-a-new-career-path/ If you enjoyed this episode, consider leaving a rating.

'Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends, we're so glad you could attend, come inside, come inside ... ' A new branch of the Broken Oars tree, Broken Oars University was dreamed up over the summer as an occasional series for your two stalwarts to explore some things other than rowing ... ... 'What?' I hear you cry. 'There are no such other things! Well, ordinarily we'd agree with you, but the Northern One is working through some processes at the moment that mean that the subject matter of this one is pretty close to hand and heart ... and the best way to learn anything is to try and teach it, because then you're forced to break it all down. The Broken Oars University tag was inspired by so many of our friends on Twitter et al heading off to University - which is an expansive experience, not just in terms of the teaching and the course, but also the new perspectives and understandings it can bring. We (he, Northern One) hopes that the Broken Oars University will be a similar experience, giving some fresh perspectives perhaps on some things that might be new to some.An occasional series, it'll introduce ideas that we're working through in our professional and other lives that might entertain, inform, tickle or make you throw things at the screen. It took a while to get to the starting gate, because the Northern one has been dying, again, but plus ca change ... (Remember: He's the Northern Uncultured One. Never let the fiddle playing and Latin tags disabuse you of that notion ...). So, in Episode One, the Northern One talks about stories in an age where narratives no long end but roll into the next content output. In his usual fashion, he will self-deprecate his expertise in this area to the point where you'll think 'who the hell is this person', but essentially this opening episodes touches on the following points: - Expertise: what is it, why is it more defined by knowing what you don't know rather than what you do. - Polymaths: what are they, why he isn't one, and neither is Stephen Fry. - Narrative: why stories have a beginning, middle and end, and why it doesn't matter what order these elements come in. - Why this isn't a discussion of the pathetic fallacy of individuals and their output. - What Netflix buying up Roald Dahl's Intellectual Property means and why they've done it. - The 'Exploring the x Universe' idea: why it's a nonsense and a fallacy. - Why the fact that stories have a beginning, middle and end is important for structure, motive drive, engagement, immersion and imagination. - What happens if you disregard this and start endlessly colouring in the map. - Tricks, licks and conceits - how and why they don't work if the narrative's motive force are lost, or the internal logic and consistency are lost. - Why platforms need content, but content doesn't need platforms. - Why we now live in the age of the never-ending story as a reaction to market mechanics. We're looking at you MC universe / DC universe / Tolkien Universe / never-ending everything universe. - How a never-ending story leads to audience disengagement, a fall off in quality, and diminishing returns in all senses. - Why stories that have a beginning, middle and end (in whatever order) are more emotionally and intellectually satisfying and more culturally representative - and why, as I work through my projects, I'll be keeping this very much in mind. And if you're thinking 'wtf!', don't worry. There'll be some rowing along soon. Get some!

What fuels a multi-passionate life? In this podcast, I interview the most interesting people at the dinner party. These folks have led double-lives for decades and straddled two completely different worlds. For as long as I can remember, I've led a double-life of the practical and the creative. I've built a career in marketing for almost two decades. And now, I work as leadership and executive coach. On the creative side I've been a musician since I was a kid playing the piano, violin, and oboe. Music was my thing! And then I kept it up. As an adult, I've been actively performing opera, classical music, and musical theater since 2001. But for the longest time, I wasn't even sure what we should call ourselves. Renaissance humans? Polymaths? Something-slash-something else?The answer woke me up at 2AM one night. We're Ampersands! We have a big, substantial "and" in what we do. We've poured tens of thousands of hours into our creative endeavors, but we've also risen in our paid professions as leaders in the fields of business, education, technology, medicine, science, and more. The goal of this podcast is to collectively design the Ampersand Manifesto. Why do we continue to lead these double-lives? What does it look like to be balancing and even integrating two big pursuits? And how can our multifaceted endeavors support other Ampersands and the community around us? This season I interview Ampersands from so many different walks of life. I can't wait to introduce you to these multi-talented, passionate people. Join me for the Ampersand Manifesto, season 1.

What happened to the Buddhist scholars who stayed behind in Tibet and China after the Fourteenth Dalai Lama and thousands of Tibetans fled from the People's Liberation Army in 1959? In Lineages of the Literary: Tibetan Buddhist Polymaths of Socialist China (Columbia University Press 2021), Nicole Willock discovers through the stories and writings of the “Three Polymaths” (Tib. mkhas pa mi gsum) of socialist China that contrary to common assumptions, Tibetan Buddhist leaders active in the People's Republic of China were not mere political “collaborators.” Willocks reveals in the book that the three Buddhist polymaths, Tséten Zhabdrung (1910 – 1985), Mugé Samten (1914 – 1993), and Dungkar Rinpoché (1927 – 1997) alternately safeguarded, taught, adapted, celebrated, and discarded religious epistemes, practices, and institutions in a post-Cultural Revolution PRC. The title of the “Three Polymaths” is often used to refer to Mar Shakyamuni, Yo Géjung, and Tsang Rabsel, who according to Tibetan Buddhist historiography, preserved the Buddhist monastic lineage from the tyrannical king Langdarma (d. 842) one millennium ago. Willock points out that since the early 1980s, the title of the “Three Polymaths” has been passed on to the twentieth-century Buddhist scholars Tséten Zhabdrung, Mugé Samten, and Dungkar Rinpoché, who became not only heroes to many Tibetans in China but also cultural icons symbolizing both the survival and the continuance of Tibetan culture in the post-Mao era. In Lineages of the Literary, Willock explores the Three Polymaths' writings from a wide range of literary genres, including more traditional ones such as autobiographical life writing (Tib. byung ba brjod pa) and Buddhist poetry, as well as modern innovations such as encyclopedia entries (Tib. tshig mdzod) and academic essays (Tib. dpyad rtsom). Willock argues that the writings of the Three Polymaths highlight the way they adapt and disregard religious epistemes for the purposes of revitalizing Tibetan culture in their own fashion. Interestingly, the Three Polymaths' writings do not engage explicitly with the social-political contexts of their lives. What is revealed instead, Willock argues, is how these three Tibetan Buddhist leaders acted as moral agents who strategically deployed Buddhist epistemes to impart varying visions of Tibetan culture in the post-Mao era. Taking Saba Mahmood's idea of “moral agency,” Willock finds that “[T]he culturally specific disciplines and religious epistemes that [the Three Polymaths] accessed in their unique subject positions as male Géluk Buddhist elites allowed them, unlike many other leaders in post-Mao China, to cross state-imposed divides between secular and religious institutions that might otherwise have been impossible to bridge.” Daigengna Duoer is a Ph.D. student at the Religious Studies Department, University of California, Santa Barbara. Her dissertation is a digital humanities project mapping transnational and transregional Buddhist networks connecting twentieth-century Inner Mongolia, Manchuria, Republican China, Tibet, and the Japanese Empire.

Willock points out that since the early 1980s, the title of the “Three Polymaths” has been passed on to the twentieth-century Buddhist scholars Tséten Zhabdrung, Mugé Samten, and Dungkar Rinpoché, who became not only heroes to many Tibetans in China but also cultural icons symbolizing both the survival and the continuance of Tibetan culture in the post-Mao era. In Lineages of the Literary, Willock explores the Three Polymaths' writings from a wide range of literary genres, including more traditional ones such as autobiographical life writing (Tib. byung ba brjod pa) and Buddhist poetry, as well as modern innovations such as encyclopedia entries (Tib. tshig mdzod) and academic essays (Tib. dpyad rtsom). Willock argues that the writings of the Three Polymaths highlight the way they adapt and disregard religious epistemes for the purposes of revitalizing Tibetan culture in their own fashion. Interestingly, the Three Polymaths' writings do not engage explicitly with the social-political contexts of their lives. What is revealed instead, Willock argues, is how these three Tibetan Buddhist leaders acted as moral agents who strategically deployed Buddhist epistemes to impart varying visions of Tibetan culture in the post-Mao era. Taking Saba Mahmood's idea of “moral agency,” Willock finds that “[T]he culturally specific disciplines and religious epistemes that [the Three Polymaths] accessed in their unique subject positions as male Géluk Buddhist elites allowed them, unlike many other leaders in post-Mao China, to cross state-imposed divides between secular and religious institutions that might otherwise have been impossible to bridge.” Daigengna Duoer is a Ph.D. student at the Religious Studies Department, University of California, Santa Barbara. Her dissertation is a digital humanities project mapping transnational and transregional Buddhist networks connecting twentieth-century Inner Mongolia, Manchuria, Republican China, Tibet, and the Japanese Empire.

What happened to the Buddhist scholars who stayed behind in Tibet and China after the Fourteenth Dalai Lama and thousands of Tibetans fled from the People's Liberation Army in 1959?

In today's Fearless Business Podcast episode we interview Ed Rich MBA, self-proclaimed polymath, marketing expert and funnel hacker. Ed helps coaches who are authors, generate highly qualified leads predictably with distribution of their books and automated webinar events. He does this by building unique customer journeys that are optimised to generate higher customer lifetime value for you. Most coaches author their book thinking that it will generate leads for them. But once they publish it, the books end up waiting for the light of the day in their garage. Your book is just a vehicle to carry your message from your garage to the hands of your ideal coaching client. A vehicle needs an infrastructure to go from this point to the reader's hands. I build this infrastructure, let's call it a customer journey or marketing funnel, that get this book in the hand of people who are most likely to be your best clients ever. If you are a coach would like to get OVERBOOKED with coaching appointments, Ed invites you to have a "Simplify My Marketing Strategy Session" where we'll go through a diagnosis of your core three pillars and build strategy for the same: Absolute clarity about your marketing Finding and keeping your tribe Creating customer journeys that convert Visit Ed's Website: https://www.booksmind.com/ A Bit about Fearless Business: Join our amazing community of Coaches, Consultants and Freelancers on Facebook: >> https://facebook.com/groups/ChargeMore And check out the Fearless Business website: >> https://fearless.biz
