Description

In this episode of the Grow2Gether podcast, we're joined by Denis Murphy who is an author, software engineer, and podcaster from Ireland. Dennis describes himself as a polymath at heart and on his podcast 'The Happy Mindset' shares the knowledge he has obtained and his interests that span across many different fields including linguistics, philosophy, psychology, and software engineering.

For a long time, his experience with the traditional education system had suppressed his natural curiosity and love of learning. It was only in his early 20’s when he stumbled across language hacking and faced some serious mental health issues that he rediscovered what he had lost. In this episode, we discuss all of this and more including what life is like as a polymath!

Some takeaways from this episode:

• The life of a polymath is to ignite your interest and passions and not be redefined by labels and find ways of merging all that you love together so you're living a truly authentic life.
  
• When you go through hard and challenging times there are always lessons to be learned to help you move forward and grow. Whatever challenge you're facing right now keep the faith and find the lessons.
  
• Social media in general and particularly podcasting gives you the opportunity to share your story and experiences with like-minded people and people who can relate to your story from all over the world to help build community and know you're not alone.
  
• Connecting with nature is a good way to change your mindset as you're able to reflect, see what really matters, and just be in the present moment. Get outside, take a walk, and connect with nature.
  
• Plus, much much more!
