Charlie Biluck is someone who was never quite sure what he wanted to do for a career. Of course, he had lots of different interests coming out of high school and into college, tried some different things, and has been in his current job for the past 9 years. Ultimately though, while he doesn't mind his current job, he's certainly yearning for a change.
So over the last couple years or so, really just out of curiosity, Charlie dove into genealogy research and discovered a newfound passion. He decided to combine this passion with his love for travel and to start a new business. Called "Ancestral Wanderlust, his idea is to offer unique tours where people can visit the homeland of their ancestors.
However, Charlie is now at that classic multipotentialite stage. He's wondering whether he can sustain his interest in this project and make the commitment required for it to be successful.
So in today's episode, we learn about Charlie's story and what's brought him to this point. He's made a lot of progress., put in a lot of time and work, gone through some burnout and found some new focus. He's excited, and still believes in the project, in fact it's going stronger than ever: the first tour to Ireland is planned for May, 2026.
But now we're at that point of what does the future hold, and we're not just talking four or five years from now. For a multipotentialite, it can be a pretty short window to when that switch flips between, "I'm really excited and passionate about this new thing," and, "Oh, I've put all this time/work/money into it and now I don't know if I still want to do it."
It's something that I know most, if not all of us can sympathize with in some shape or form.
So it's a big part of what we're going to chat about here today, as we explore multipotentiality with Charlie.
