Another timely message. After unsuccessfully trying to "niche down" like everyone suggests, I finally had to accept that it wasn't the right move for me. Utilizing a wide range of concentrations was instrumental throughout my own personal journey, so I figured it would be counterproductive to pivot from that perfective. The thing that gives me a leg up, so to say lol is that I am able to discern the interconnectedness between a ride range of concepts. I can always "meet you where you are". If this information does not resonate, I can easily. This will also allow me to curate specialized lessons to suit individual needs. That's the plan at least. 🤷🏾♂️
@privatethoughts85 you are not alone here, that's for sure. Niching down often doesn't work for people who have multiple different interests. Though the narrative is so strong that it can make us feel as though we are doing something wrong by not choosing and sticking to one thing. I myself went through this and it sucked. So I'm really happy to hear that you're aware of one of your gifts - the connection between different topics. Such a powerful and important ability. One that single-minded paths don't have. I will be bringing out more education around this so hopefully it can continue to help you and people like you to walk paths that work with your own naturalness rather than against it.
All of my adult life I have been powerfully driven to build a "unified field theory" in my mind. Never not. I am simply built that way. For there to be a move back towards 'unity', you have to start with apparent multiples. I deeply resonate too with the above comment about being able to meet people where they are because I have probably studied it or thought about it before. Lol. I'm in my 60s which helps. I have had many years of winding studies through whatever else I am doing in my outer life.
i’ll give a small anecdote haha. I like learning languages just for fun. I do it very half-assed lol. but I saw a lot of people say not to learn multiple languages at once, that you don’t actually retain much by doing that. so I tried to focus on one language per week, but I felt that I actually wasn’t retaining much. I went back to how I was doing it before and realized that it worked better for me. I usually would do about 5 minutes in each language and rotating between 3-5 languages depending how much time I have and doing either a lesson or a review (i use the Mango Languages app btw for anyone who also likes learning lol). when I go from one language to the next I am kind of subconsciously still thinking about the other language. so I may learn a new word in korean and I will think “ok in japanese I think it’s ___ and in spanish it’s ___”. by doing that I started to notice some similarities either in pronunciation, the sound, or meanings of what I was learning which I honestly feel helped me retain more!
@@agatastaniak7459 Initially the only language I was studying was Japanese and I technically have been studying for 9 years - but again, it’s all very half-assed since it’s not something I NEED to learn but just wanted to out of genuine curiosity about the language. evenutally that curiosity turned toward other languages, and spanish is kind of a necessity since my family speaks spanish and i just needed to touch up. using the method I have been has still helped me retain info better in my honest opinion and experience, and I do think switching from Duolingo to Mango made a difference too tbh as I think the lesson structure is easier to remember imo! but that’s just me, I understand it’s not necessarily for everyone but it did feel validating to see this video and look at this one part of my life through that lens :)
@@ritasjourney that’s fair! I found that the similarities helped me keep that vocabulary in my mind better. an example i’ll use is that one of the words for ‘bag’ in japanese is ‘kaban’ and in korean the word is ‘kabang’ 😆 so i’m like “sweet, two for the price of one” but I can also see how that would easily get mixed up lol
I used to not know how I was going to balance my passion for fantasy writing and building fantasy worlds with my calling for teaching spirituality and self improvement. It didn't help me that every teacher out their preached finding a specific niche. Recently I've realized a solution and I'm dutifully putting the project together. Glad I found your channel.
@templar1111 that narrative of choosing a specific niche is incredibly strong and can really detract from those of us that don't fit that shape. So cool to hear that you've found your own way, bringing cohesion to your pursuits. Inspiring and I'm here for it.
Love your energy, I have a suggestion, dungeons & dragons. you build the world and all of its conflict as the dungeon Master, players interact with the world and make choices and the dice (synchronicity) decides what happens. I healed a lot in accepting suffering in life but in a safe space where I can make mistakes like in a dream and I can wake up and it’s all over. it really illustrates how seemingly mundane interactions becomes life altering circumstances or friendships. TTRPgs are the best life simulators, and on roll 20 you can get paid to DM or there are other ways to sell your spiritual creativity. Dungeons and dragons divine systems are pretty boring , you could change that.
One of the hardest and enjoyable pursuits of a polymath is seeing the hidden interests between multiple subjects. The only way I find that can happen is by developing a strong intuition, and reading a boatload of books. Well, this is really how I've come to develop deep learning. I'd like to know if anyone else have come up with their own methods. Also, it would be nice to know how you all put your niche ideas into practice, making monetization possible. Not in theory, but if you've done it successfully.
Currently I’m creating my business essentially for a future that hasn’t arrived yet but the opportunity came to me through seeing the patterns - if I were to explain what my business was, it would be obvious it’s something missing. Blending of industries that make sense + blending of my interests, and was able to find a thread. I see the patterns everywhere. It’s as you explained- building on itself.
@SiddityPrincess that's beautiful to hear and I wish you all the best on your business. It sounds like it really is an expression of you and your interests which is so important when seeding our vocation in the world through such things like business.
I’ve found my years of realism sketching has made me a better sculptor , it feels satisfying expressing something 3D what I’ve normally expressed in 2D. That previous knowledge stacks onto the new thing. Makes me wonder how I could take this another step further. I want to be an architect so maybe that connects
I needed to see this! Now at 27-28, I am out of a dark night of the soul and intend to do many things in the arts, business and academia. It’s hard to juggle them all and investing to mastery by 33-35. This is a great way to think and maneuver
Hey Joel! Thanks for this brilliantly informative video. WOW! I never heard anyone express these points before. I find it very validating! I have a burning passions in a few different areas and I have always been the eclectic sort. I am beginning to see these beautiful cross-overs and patterns that you speak of. Having said that I have been feeling the pressure to focus in on one particular path lately. This video serves as a comfirmation that I must continue to abide by Joseph Campbells advice and follow my bliss :p And as you mentioned, things might not move as quickly. I will simply work on my patience and ability to flow with the perfection of the unfoldment of personal destiny. I also feel it is a tragedy that so many have lost their way so thank you for doing what you're doing 🙏 🙏
@revolutionofconsciousness first off, love your TH-cam handle. Also, thanks for the kind words. It always makes me happy to hear when people who have so many various interests find these alternative perspectives of use and also confirming of their experience. There's so much colour and life and vitality in pursuing multiple passions that if you're geared this way, it can truly be a blessing. There is of course, anchor points that we all need in order to bring this into the world and make it happen (especially in our vocation) but to ignore all of our interests for this is rarely the way for Multi-Passionate people. Patience is so crucial. I'm glad you're unfolding life in alignment with your naturalness. Our time on this earth is better spent that way.
@@TheCareerArchetypes The sections thing is a bit arduous at first but the more you do it the quicker you get at it. Posting the transcript... kind of a chore. If someone likes the words they could just copy and paste the transcript themself and save it. I don't see any reason for you to do it as a creator. Some people I know share their video scripts as posts on substack which could be worthwhile if you already have subscribers over there.
@freemanjames thanks for the knowledge on how to go about this, I really appreciate it. Seeing as I do have a Substack where a lot of my work is summarised in the written form I can direct people there. Thanks!
@freemanjames just dropped some knowledge that will help our problem @dianagonzalez002 because most of the video I put here have written pieces on Substack about them. So if you search "The Career Archetypes Substack" you will find some of the write-ups.
Better to move slow and steady like tortise they say. I was not able to recognize that I am multi-passionate until now. I always felt like I never "knew" what I was passionate about, yet I have many different hobbies and things that I am interested in learning about. Have always felt like something was "wrong" with me for not being able to have 1 thing for me to focus on and get really good at, instead I have always found it rather interesting that I seem to be naturally good at many different things. I appreciate you sharing this knowledge and reminding us that with this approach we must be able to find a balance that works for us, in order to make sure we are not supressing any parts of ourseves that want to be expressed. I have a curious question for you when it comes in regards to potentially being a youtuber/content creator. I see most youtubers, create content that is of the same subject, or topic, or sort of theme if you will. What are your thoughts and perspective when it comes to a content creater who is multi-passionatr and goes into those different topics within their content, instead of having their channel for example be solely oriented around, self-improvement, but instead, they touch on many different subjects that may in turn be interconnected. Would that be too messy and not be enough structure for a content creator?
@ItsTimeToTransform absolutely and when Multi-Passionate people allow themselves a long-term view on life it's so beautiful to witness as things slowly unfold and later come together. Because there's nothing "wrong" with you for wanting more from life than a single-minded passion. I love when people accept the full nature of their being. As for the question, there are definitely people who work best focused on one subject and who do well without deviation. However, from my perspective, Multi-Passionate people should lean into their naturalness and bring in more passions and interests. There's typically an anchor in the vocation (I talk about it as someone's Career Archetype) that can hold everything together, through which our work is expressed. Whereby many different topics can come out. For example on my channel, obviously I speak all about vocations, however I'll talk about artist biographies, jungian psychology, astrology, multi-passionate people, labor economics etc. The list goes on. That's one way to approach it. I've also worked with others who have new topics every video (one past clients simply focuses on a country and talks about everything within that country from the food to the people to philosopher raised there). I would encourage you to find the core of it all and that would inform the direction and structure. Because there's so many ways to do this that doesn't require "one niche." There's even a trend atm of people who run multiple businesses, I think it's called Multipreneurs. It all stems from your calling which is found at the soul-level. Tap into that first and then build from a solid foundation. Figuring out how you'd like to structure it in a way that allows you to grow with your naturalness, rather than against it. Hope that helps!
@TheCareerArchetypes Yes, that helps more than you know. Thank you! I have been sleeping on myself for sometime now, I have a lot of work to do. This brings forth a lot of clarity and acceptance. I appreciate your response to my comment. I look forward to learning from you more and working along side individuals like yourself, once my A game is on. 🙏
@smurfette6499 thanks for the suggestion. I've tried 100's of approaches so I definitely have some useful insights that may help. I'll keep a note of this idea for a future video.
Charlie Munger? I'd rather hear about someone who's closer to me on the socioeconomic ladder. Engaging with so many passions for mastery is a luxury many cannot afford in their lives. I want to hear about real life people who accomplished it. Not the Mungers of the world.

i’ll give a small anecdote haha.

You may try focusing for 3 months on a single language. Many polyglots do so. With quite good effects.
I get too confused when I try to learn more than one at a time. Especially if they are similar like French and Spanish.
