The Ampersand Manifesto: Multi-Passionate People Dive Deep

Auteur(s): Jessica Wan Executive Coach and Classical Singer
  • Résumé

  • What fuels a multi-passionate life? Jessica Wan interviews “the most interesting people at the dinner party,” who for decades have built dual careers in completely different worlds, such as science & music, technology & art, medicine & dance. The goal of this podcast is to collectively design The Ampersand Manifesto. What does it look like to be balancing two or more big pursuits? Where do we find connection points between them? And how can our multifaceted endeavors support other Ampersands and the community around us?

He's a graduate of the Conservatory Program of The Second City Training Center and teaches improv in the LA area at Turbine Arts Collective.
