In the latest episode “Faded Memories of the Multi-Hyphenate”, Paul digs into the weird middle ground of being a creative generalist and how many multi-hyphenates struggle to stand out in the internet age.We carry a wide range, but we also carry the tax of all the work unseen, whether it be context-switching, prep, and the feeling we’re always starting from zero. In this episode he argues for having range as leverage and permission to leave some things unfinished with a little help from our old patron saint Leonardo da Vinci.Show NotesWhat “multi-hyphenate” actually means - the work that spans skillsets. (00:00)The impostor loop - why generalists compare themselves to specialists and always come up short, and how to reframe progress. (02:10)The hidden labor - the energy drain you feel but can’t invoice for. (12:02)Using range as leverage - “I don’t need to stay in my lane, I can build the whole highway.” What that looks like in real client work. (06:03 / 15:58)Da Vinci - unfinished doesn’t equal failure; sometimes it’s a portfolio of bets. (16:57 / 18:06)Seasons of life - using constraints as scaffolding, not excuses. (19:18 / 25:31)Systems & discipline - making being “done” a habit so momentum compounds.
