Building a Creative Movement - Perry Knoppert

<p>When his research led to finding a link between multi-passionate people and neurodiversity, Perry Knoppert ultimately created a movement. The Octopus Movement is, in Perry's words, a gathering of curious misfits. Now numbering over 2500 members from 60 countries, The Octopus Movement is a celebration of people who don't fit neatly into well-defined social structures and who share the common characteristic of nonlinear thinking.</p> <p>In this episode of Your Own Best Company, Perry tells his story of losing everything as his first step to making anything possible. Our topics of conversation include:</p> <p>** Finding a link between having multiple passions and neurodiversity.</p> <p>** Making a place for nonlinear thinking in linear organizations.</p> <p>** The common loneliness experienced by neurodivergent people.</p> <p>** The challenges of nonlinear thinkers in employment and relationships.</p> <p>You can join the Octopus Movement and learn more about Perry at <a href="https://theoctopusmovement.org" target="_blank">https://theoctopusmovement.org</a>.</p> <p>Thanks for listening, subscribing, reviewing, and sharing Your Own Best Company - A podcast for people who love working alone.</p> <p>#neurodiversity #neurodivergent #creativebusiness&nbsp;</p> --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/franklin-taggart9/message
