Jack of all trades can be experts too. This is how generalists, polymaths, multipotentialites transition to becoming experts. This is the beginning of my new podcast, "The Dayo Samuel Report"

In this launch episode, I cover:

• Introduction to the Dayo Samuel Report podcast, aimed at multi-passionate, multi-creative individuals and those seeking to build a business alongside their job.

• Background of the host, Dayo Samuel, who has over 20 years of experience as a designer/creator, beginning in Nigeria with ventures like Young and Strong and later Audacity to Lead.
• Personal journey of starting as a designer and musician, leading to a pivotal moment of self-discovery prompted by a conversation with his father.
• Transition to university, where a chance encounter with an industrial design studio redirected his career path towards design.
• Struggles with focus and the label of being "distracted," leading to a realisation about the importance of directed effort and clarity in pursuits.
• The challenge of managing multipotentiality and being a "jack of all trades," including the societal pressures to specialise,.
• Introduction to the concept of being an expert without a niche, challenging the myth that expertise requires specialization.
• Personal experience of struggling with the advice to focus on one thing, leading to a broader understanding of the value of diverse interests and skills.
• The podcast aims to guide listeners on how to harness their multipotentiality to become experts in their fields without narrowly defining their niche.
• Critique of the conventional business wisdom that emphasizes specialization, with an argument for the value and relevance of generalists in various fields.
