Multipotentialite

Someone who pursues several interests or creative paths, sometimes bringing them together in the same work.

Context

Emilie Wapnick popularized the term through Puttylike and their TEDx talk about having more than one calling. Puttylike also uses multipod as a shorter form.

I use multipotentialite for the way my interests move between web development, entrepreneurship, writing, and creative projects. Fiction2Reality is one place those interests meet through websites, story development, and 3D environments.

Examples

  • “As a multipotentialite, I get excited about projects that let me draw on several different interests.”
