5 years ago there were less wars in the world, the pandemic had not yet started, and 11,258 scientists, spanning 153 countries, issued a warning that we needed to act quickly since we were already living a climate emergency then.
And amongst the positive things that happened 5 years ago, there is one that stands out: on November 5th 2019, Evidence Of was created!
ORIGINS
The Puttyverse is an online community for Multipotentialites created in 2011, where Polymaths/Scanners/Renaissance People/Generalists meet and share their experiences, interests and projects.
Some of those multipotentialites came together based on their common interest of writing and sharing what being a multipotentialite is, what explorers with a lifetime experience of not following linear paths and common guidelines in life, and an array of cool disparate interests serving as their North Stars do.
And so Evidence Of…, an online magazine or e-zine, was created.
MISSION & VISION
The vision of the project was (and is) to create a space to inspire inner voices to express themselves from a place of creative impulse and unlimited potential – in a world where being a specialist is the norm, a place where you can share your difference, where people with a myriad of interests and knowledge can express freely and limitless to each other and the world is a must.
The magazine’s mission was to allow the writers to “plunge into life and explore its magic, share our findings and offer evidence of our co-creation” – because only by sharing our own experiences can we make people realize how amazing being a non-linear thinker is.

From here.
VALUES
Grounded on the values of Genuineness, Integrity, Accountability, Soul, Excellence, Learned-Optimism, Inspiration, Growth, Awareness and Joy, writers over the years have contributed with articles, at first more frequently and later monthly, about many different subjects.
WHERE
The project started on Medium, but since that is not a multipotentialite friendly platform – totally different subjects is not the way their analytics work to get writers their readership -, the present website was created and the magazine was renamed Evidence Of (Now!), a.k.a. Evidence Of Now.
This shift happened in 2021 and, since then, Evidence of Now has been populated with new articles from the team and also guest writers.
WHO
Evidence Of… was founded by Alicia and Mercedes, and the team has also changed during this half a decade, with the help of writing rallies and huddleshops to recruit guest writers and team members from within the Puttyverse, guaranteeing a diversity of viewpoints from multipotentialites from all over the world.

From here.
At the 5 year mark, the team includes founder Mercedes Calcano, this website’s creator Heather U-K, and the author of the present post Sónia da Veiga.
ARTICLES
You can find all Evidence of Now articles (including the Evidence Of… ones) by publication year bellow:
2025 | 2024 | 2023 | 2022 | 2021 | 2020 | 2019
Or in the WHO section above, organized by author.
WHERE ELSE
The project has also organically spread to other platforms, namely the podcast universe with the episode “Your Invitation to the Evidence of Now – The Multipod 105” on the Multipod Podcast – another long running multipotentialite cooperation. Maybe there will be more of that in the future. 😉
5 YEAR ANNIVERSARY
To honor all that has been done so far and to prepare for what is coming next, a History page has been created on this website with all the information, article links and everything else that is relevant to this publication’s timeline. That same content has been posted in the Puttyverse as a WikiPost.
And, to mark the publication’s 5th year, Evidence of Now has made its appearance on Linkedin, where the page Evidence of Now was created to showcase articles and events, and also to allow contributors in the publication to more easily share their work on that professional network.
WHAT NOW?
There are a lot of plans for the future of Evidence of Now.

The first step is to get more readership to the magazine, and that is where you come in:
if you like the concept of an online magazine written by multipotentialites to multipotentialites (+ the rest of the world), please support us on this trip by reading along and sharing the articles with your network.

And if you’d like to write along side us, either as a regular member of the team or as a guest writer, get more info here.
This publication will always be a multipotentialite haven, so feel free to join us and keep coming back!
From here.To support us in other ways, we’ll soon let you know how. 😉
A lot can happen in 5 years, so let us see where this takes us, and what we’re up to on our 10th anniversary.
Maybe the Wikipedia article comes when we hit the 10 year mark. 😉
