Considering the broad range of topics a polymath can go into I realized there needed to be a system. This phase system idea I came up with when deciding what content topic ideas I wanted to make into videos, podcasts, and blog posts.
The phases act like the PolyInnovator’s “niche”, at least for the time that the phase is active. One thing I think is super important though, is that despite the changing of niches over the years. The content you fell in love with shouldn’t go away. There will be still content from the phase you find me in, even down the line!
Considering my adversity to traditional education the first one was easy, Self-Education (Autodidactism). That is what most of the content has been made on for a while now, and will be for some time to come. If you are interested in creating your own education, then I encourage you to check out some of my works!
Colleges have been ever more increasingly expensive, and in reality they are becoming worthless. Your degree means very little to some of the biggest companies of the world, yet these schools are acting like they are your only option to a good life. That just couldn’t be further from the truth, and what is even worse is that you are going into thousands of dollars into debt.
Sure there used to be a time where a degree would cost a few grand, and then almost guarantee a good position at a company. Alas that time has passed, and by the time you get through school most of the knowledge you need to know is obsolete (even more so in technology based jobs).
They are sucking you dry of funds, and making you ill-prepared for the real world after. That is why I created the Modular Degree, to be your replacement.
Look I’m not going to sit here and sell to you, that being a polymath is for everyone. You are not here because of some magic origin, but you’re here for a reason. Maybe it was an interesting article, a PolyCast, or some other media brought you to me.
This site will not give you shortcuts, or “the secret” to your own development. Just for the people who are tired of being sold to by snake oil salesmen. Someone who wants to do the hard way (which doesn’t have to be that hard), and make real progress in their life.
I’ve spent a long time thinking and testing what to put on this website to describe what I mean by progress. Is it Self-Development, Self-Improvement, or like I said earlier Self-Education? In reality it is all three, and we need to cultivate that trifecta in your life. This trio of your own personal growth are the foundation, consistency, and exponential factors of your life. I wanted to make things simple to envision each facet of your overarching path.
The Omniblog is a multi-niche writing outlet. Meaning the topics aren’t always going to stick to #Polymath or #SmartCities; The actual format is something I’ve been used to for a while, as I got started way back in 2011! I just wished I kept it going throughout that time, all of my old works are slowly working their way into my revamp cycle, and getting a completely new fresh coat of paint. Not to mention hundreds of new ideas that I have planned out for you all.
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.
When you are on your own creating content, there is a lot of learning you must do. On top of that you often have to compete with teams of people. When you’re all by yourself in marketing here is what you can do!
When you’re stuck at home, especially during a time like this, then you are going to feel like climbing the walls. I know that I personally feel this way, and that is with all these actionable steps I’m taking. After doing a lot of them my happiness started to rise.
We go over what I call Self-EduDevMent, which is the culmination of Self-Development, Self-Education, and Self-Improvement. All of which are unique to your experience in their own right. When you manage to maintain all three, then it exponentially grows your understanding of what you are learning.
I want to share the story with you about how the Elementor plugin saved my website! What makes you get up in the morning? For me it is my website, and the people who follow the content I create. That is what drives me to do more and more. Well my main hub, my site, broke late last year.
How to maximize your time at home during the #quarantine, and start your own Self-Development. Use these tips and tricks to make use of this free time
Taking a gaming concept and applying it to learning.

Taking the single-path minded aspect of education, and changing that for the modern age.
The YouTube Channel consists of OmniContent and TeleInnovator Discussions episodes, as well as videos such as Vlogs or Explainers. I do not limit it to one type, and you may even see some gaming streaming during my free time!
Between the OmniContent, and the guest interviews I have on the show, there are multiple formats. It can get a little confusing, so here is the series that you will see:
Fireside Micro-PolyCast
Bits of idea bursts, rants, explanations, and simply short form 3-10min episodes.
PolyCast
These don’t happen often, but they are the medium sized episodes that may have a didactic feel to them. They are solocasts, with a bit of flare.
OmniContent
Each episode of the Omnicontent series starts with a blog post, turns into a slideshow, then a video, and with the video I extract the audio and turn it into a PolyCast!
TeleInnovator Discussions
The interview and guest arm of the show, these episodes tend to be much longer, as they are interview discussions. They have been great, and the nuggets of knowledge anyone can get from them have been insanely awesome. Go take a listen!
Visual and Audio
The PolyCast
Before you go and decide what to do next, why don’t you check out the PolyCast for yourself!
Before this section talked about what sort of topics I would want to talk about, now it is beyond me, and we can talk about people’s interests and endeavors. From the Future of Audio to the Principles of a Polymath.
The show is a video podcast, so you can watch us talk if you so choose on TeleInnovator, or listen in through the PolyCast on your favorite audio platform!
