Sparking a New Renaissance with Michael Barnathan [Interview]
Today we are talking with Michael Barnathan the Founder of many projects, include the Project Polymath, of which we'll get into today. As well as overall techie, #polymath, engineer, and machine learning expert.**What are three principles to your life?**Learn as much as possibleDo the hard thingsLift others up with your success"The one thing I want people to take away from this, is that we need to be driving more creativity into education. We need to be giving people the opportunity to come up with their own ideas, and to have the chance to showcase them and develop them. Turn them into things. If we can change the way people think about that, that will be more powerful than the innovations that will come out of it."## Links:http://michael.barnathan.namehttps://github.com/mbarnathanhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/michaelbarnathan/https://angel.co/u/mbarnathanhttps://www.behance.net/michaelbarnathanwww.projectpolymath.orghttp://www.mountaintopprogram.com#thepolymathpolycast #polyinnovator #podcast #teleinnovator #polycast## TIMESTAMPS:0:00 Intro1:00 Playing a new instrument 5:00 Transferable Knowledge7:00 Goals to Spark10:00 Various Renaissances throughout History13:30 Project Polymath20:00 Peer based Modular Education23:00 Things change, why not accelerate it?26:00 First learn how to Learn29:50 His Various Interesting Companies35:00 Blog Appearances40:00 What Drives Humanity's Prosperity?44:00 Finding ways into the Multi-Disciplinary life46:30 What is a Polymath To you?48:00 Recognition Plays a role on where you are on the Polymath Spectrum50:00 The Polymath Tribe poly.tribe.so53:00 Time Management56:00 How can we create a NEW type of University01:03:00 His Fantastic Art01:05:00 Various Intelligences01:09:00 Time at Niantic01:13:00 His Dissertation01:19:00 Bringing Together his previous projects01:20:00 A Programming Prodigy01:24:00 FLOW01:31:00 Outro

Season 3 Epic Launch! [Fireside Polycast]
Here is the deal, I want to start the next season off strong, and I didn't want an interview to be the launch episode. Felt that it would be too abrupt to jump right in with one, so this micro episode came into being.After this comes out early on in the week, there will be three interviews coming out: Monday, Wednesday, Friday to kickstart this new season!The following week will return to the once a week interview schedule, however the next half a dozen OmniContent episodes are all part of the same series. In fact the last OmniContent, #5, Multipotentialites is the first in the series.I am planning on releasing the next 7 in the eight part series each day of that following week. Along with the interview of that week.This will be the first PolyInnovator Mini-Series of many!Week 1: This episode plus three interviews.Week 2: One interview plus the 7 OmniContents.Week 3: Back to a normal schedule with one interview, and one OmniContent per week. Now with the new season I decided to go back to a sporadic Micro-PolyCast release cycle.Let me know if you have any questions, and I hope you are as excited as I am!Listen to the last two seasons here:www.pod.co/polycast
