From the Ted Talk by Emilie Wapnick: Why some of us don't have one true calling
Unscramble the Blue Letters

It's easy to see your multipotentiality as a limitation or an acilftifon that you need to overcome. But what I've learned through snaipekg with people and writing about these ideas on my website, is that there are some tremendous strengths to being this way. Here are three multipotentialite super powers.
One: idea sstyhiens. That is, combining two or more feilds and creating something new at the intersection. Sha Hwang and Rachel Binx drew from their shared interests in ctohapgrary, data visualization, travel, mathematics and design, when they fduneod Meshu. Meshu is a company that creates custom geographically-inspired jewelry. Sha and Rachel came up with this unique idea not despite, but because of their eclectic mix of skllis and experiences. Innovation happens at the intersections. That's where the new ideas come from. And multipotentialites, with all of their bgkruodancs, are able to aecscs a lot of these points of intersection.

It's easy to see your multipotentiality as a limitation or an affliction that you need to overcome. But what I've learned through speaking with people and writing about these ideas on my website, is that there are some tremendous strengths to being this way. Here are three multipotentialite super powers.
One: idea synthesis. That is, combining two or more fields and creating something new at the intersection. Sha Hwang and Rachel Binx drew from their shared interests in cartography, data visualization, travel, mathematics and design, when they founded Meshu. Meshu is a company that creates custom geographically-inspired jewelry. Sha and Rachel came up with this unique idea not despite, but because of their eclectic mix of skills and experiences. Innovation happens at the intersections. That's where the new ideas come from. And multipotentialites, with all of their backgrounds, are able to access a lot of these points of intersection.
