Discover fascinating people, from all walks of life, just waiting to connect with you, the listener. The MultiPod is a podcast that explores career, identity, work/life balance, variety, and people living lives full of options. In short: multipotentialites, a term coined by the author and intellectual Emilie Wapnick. Multipotentialites like to do many things, and recoil from the pressure to specialize and choose "the one thing." While this applies in particular to work and career choices, it also plays out in our hobbies and interests, our education, and how we choose to spend our time. As you can imagine, this can lead to some pretty deep, existential moments, as we grapple with this identity. The MultiPod features conversations with guests that revolve around their story, their perspective on multipotentiality, their work or career, their interests and how they bind it all together. This is a podcast about connection, inspiration and opportunity. Hear something that piques your curiosity? Have common ground with someone on the show? Recognize how they can help you with your needs and interests? If so, your call to action is to reach out and contact the guest. Let them know you exist, and make that connection! Multipotentialites live unconventional lives, by design and by instinct. The MultiPod is here to empower you in living life on your terms.

Martie McNabb is my guest today, someone whom i think a lot of our viewers and listeners know, and not just virtually but in person!

Martie is great at getting out to some of the big events over the years that bring people together, including Camp Indie and the Everything Conference of 2024. I was fortunate to see her at both, and then we even met up again about three weeks after the everything conference on her way back to Vermont from a conference in Montreal.

I love when things work out and people can make a detour for a visit, something I always try to do too if I'm travelling.

And connection, community and sharing is the theme of our conversation today. Martie has developed this wonderful idea of people sharing quick, heartfelt stories based around an item of personal significance, often from a loved one or from a poignant memory.

It's called Show and Tale, and Martie uses it to bring people together for anything from team-building events to family reunions or break-the-ice workshops. Ideally it's done in person, but virtually is an option too, and to that end Show and Tale has a counterpart in Martie's fabulous podcast, "Things that Matter."

Things that Matter is more of a one on one conversation, podcast-style, but again with that focus on sharing the stories and memories behind an object.

Remember in the days before digital? Letters in the mail, printed photographs, pen and notebook, ticket stubs and physical maps - Show and Tale takes us back to that emphasis on real, tactile things that we can hold in our hand, that have a scent and texture, and that in turn remind us of a person, a place or an experience.

It's a really neat idea.

Martie tells us all about it here today, and go check out Things That Matter on YouTube or your favourite podcast app to hear more great stories and inspiration.
