PolyInnovator Manifesto [Fireside Polycast]
My legacy is that I aim to help the Earth achieve Type-1 Civilization status by the end of my life.What I aim to do is to create a Hub of Innovation (What I called the United Living Construct), through my personal brand PolyInnovator. The first step is to teach people how to change themselves first through education, which is why I created the Modular Degree, a Self-Education Framework. Through this Self-EduDevMent* (Coined term I created) endeavor, where people can find their own Ikigai and passions. We can introduce much more passionate creators in the world, pushing the innovation forward, and we can #MAKEACHANGE.Through the Hub, I wish that people can take up the mantle of #Innovators (my community is called that). Thereby creating the necessary momentum as a catalyst for change to become a type-1 civilization.The PolyInnovator path to Earth becoming a Type-1 Civilization0:00 Intro0:17 Prologue2:20 Chapter 1 - The United Living Construct5:20 Chapter 2 - PolyInnovator8:40 Chapter 3 - The Modular Degree13:45 Chapter 4 - Adaptable Phases16:40 Chapter 5 - OmniContent21:08 Chapter 6 - The Polymath PolyCast24:40 Chapter 7 - The PolyInnovator Ecosystem29:26 Chapter 8 - Self-EduDevMent31:37 Chapter 9 - Four Pillars Philosophy34:11 Chapter 10 - PolyInnovator Gaming35:14 Chapter 11 - Smart City Development37:45 Chapter 12 - Hub of Innovation39:49 Chapter 13 - Global Keynote Speaker41:49 Chapter 14 - PolyInnovator Construct45:38 EpilogueAudio is Ebbs and Flow a CC0 music file.Found on https://freepd.com/

The PolyInnovator Way of Interviewing Guests on the #PolyCast [Fireside Polycast]
A short and sweet description about what I do to interview, or rather prep to interview guests on the polycast.I really love talking to people, but I knew from the beginning that Active Listening was a skill I would need to work on. From what I can tell, and have been told I've been doing well with it.In fact a friend of mine who happened to check out the show was dumbfounded about how I could stay silent for so long. lolThis is because I really care about my guests, and want them to have a great experience on The Polymath PolyCast!Cheers :)
