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.
