“Personally, I define a polymath as someone who’s a multi-specialist. The traditional textbook definition is someone who has learned and is interested in many different areas. And that means a deep level of knowledge.” (11:49)
“When I find people to interview, the thing I look for is if they’re multidisciplinary. So, if they have a main specialty and they’re a specialist – even a hyper specialist – they’re bound to have some sort of hobby or maybe they’re a podcaster like us.” (18:09)
“One of my main endeavors right now is trying to get this idea of a multidisciplinary spectrum out there.” (22:22)
“I would honestly say I have often gotten a lot of existential crises. And it’s hard to deal with those, especially when they hit you hard.” (33:59)
“First and foremost, I love learning. And since I couldn’t find a college that I wanted to go to, I pursued my own education and self-development.” (38:03)
“Being a polymath individually is gonna have a lot of different topics. Having a group of polymaths means there’s an exponential amount of topics.” (47:55)
“Hustling too hard is ok as long as you know how to rest and take care of yourself.” (52:06)
