What is a Polymath? [Fireside Polycast]
Some say jack of all trades, others say generalist, and others still say that it is a pipe dream. I'm here to tell you the actual truth. That the specialist mindset spreads like wildfire, and is what still is common today. However it is not only no longer as important, but in fact probably hindering our progress. https://polyinnovator.space/omniconte... https://www.slideshare.net/DustinMike... The #Omnicontent series is meant to be a cross platform episodic series, where no matter what type of media you like to consume you'll find something you will enjoy!

As background tracks in my polycasts. His #SourHour tracks are really cool, and unique. I wanted to share them with you.Today's Outro music was created by @Lemonectric on Twitter!
