Ali took a big bet on herself and founded Umami Food Consulting, which has led her to a Netflix competition show and the SXSW stage.

    3. We Can All Be Polymaths

    In this episode of "So Many Layers," host, Victoria Shoots reflects on a profound insight shared by guest Ciara Coleman about trusting that "God sees around the corner." This revelation sparks a personal realization about overcoming intrusive thoughts and embracing the idea that a greater force guides us. The episode delves into a transformative moment when the host, a law student at the time, discovered the diverse interests of Patron owner John Paul DeJoria. This revelation leads to exploring the concept of polymaths, individuals with broad knowledge in various subjects. The host challenges the notion of specialization, highlighting the societal pressure to choose a clear career path from a young age. Listeners are encouraged to think like polymaths in their daily lives through a set of questions, exploring their skills, problem-solving instincts, and interests. The host advocates for curiosity and a multi-hyphenate approach, stressing that becoming a polymath is a process rather than a time-bound achievement.   Instagram: @Somanylayerspod
