The past few months have seen a flurry of changes in Puttyland, as the community has taken on a new name and identity. This has also coincided with the recent ten year anniversary of the launch of Puttylike.
Meanwhile, our little community podcast is coming up on its 3rd anniversary in January 2021. Time flies indeed! It all makes for some momentous milestones: benchmarks worth celebrating as we come to the end of this tumultuous and unexpected year.
So who better to chat with than the founder of our great Putty universe, Emilie Wapnick herself!
When we first started The MultiPod, we wanted to get our feet wet and not invite Emilie on prematurely.
We could have been a little more assertive and already talked to her by now and, as it turns out, all we had to do was ask!
But, it could also simply be a case of, “Everything in its time, the right moment will find itself, and what is meant to be will be.”
And thus, we bring you our first conversation with Emilie Wapnick: a bright ray of sunshine, inspiration, and positivity for your holiday season. Emilie sits down with Vanessa and Ted to chat about the changes and growth of the Putty universe over the past decade, how her perspectives have evolved, what it feels like having influenced millions of people, what led to the recent name change, and lots of useful advice and ideas for all of us.
Ted even shares a secret connection with Emilie that he’s been hiding all this time!
