101. [BONUS EP!] Being Multi-Passionate + Owning Your Life (Interview on "Got your Six" by Tony Nash)

BONUS EPISODE!! I was recently featured on Tony Nash’s podcast
“Got your Six” and was honored to speak about embracing your
authenticity, passions, daring to be different, and why being
multi-passionate has built me into a better leader. I connect
with Tony through social media and am blown away by his drive to
share other stories and utilizing his voice to establish change
in culture and break stereotypes. His podcast brings together
current service members and veteran high performers to share
their methods, strategies, and ideas delivered in an informative
way and, most importantly, actionable ways that will help you
lead yourself and those around you better from the battlefield to
the boardroom.





In his write up for my Interview, he shared: "6ers, in a culture
where there is often an expectation to choose one career path or
focus on a singular passion, you can dare to be a trailblazer.
The reality is that many people have multiple interests and are
actually capable of pursuing them.


Kellie Sbrocchi is a U.S. Navy HR Officer, photographer/owner of
Kellie Rene Photography, and host of the MissUnderstood Podcast.
She is passionate about small-unit leadership, departmental
leadership, sales, marketing, recruiting, public affairs,
photography, writing, and public speaking. Kellie believes being
“Miss” Understood by others and in passions means you're closer
to understanding your OWN life. You will learn about the
importance of prioritizing things that bring joy in life, even if
they are a bit unconventional and not in line with society’s
expectations. You only have this one life so if something no
longer fills your cup, you’re allowed to turn your back on it and
pursue something that aligns with your passions.


Kellie’s journey is a testament to how it’s possible to navigate
different paths and how there is a place for multi-passionate
individuals to be successful. It is time that we become more
open, celebrate individuality, even if in a rigid environment
like the army, and encourage the people behind us to explore
their unique talents and interests."
