In this episode of the "Building Bigger Lives" podcast, Kathryn and Michael discuss the concept of simple focus planning. They emphasize the importance of this tool, which the team introduces to their clients at Building Champions, as it simplifies the planning process and makes it more functional and easy to use. They explain that the traditional business planning process can be complex and laborious, often leading to plans that are not used. The simple focus plan, on the other hand, is designed to be a positive experience, drawing users to keep it in front of them. The plan is presented on one page, allowing for a quick and comprehensive view of the entire plan.

The conversation concluded with the importance of reviewing and updating focus plans, the importance of focus planning in personal and professional growth, and the need for clear commitments and continuous improvement.

In this episode, Michael and Kathryn discuss the concept of imposter syndrome, its prevalence, and its impact on individuals. Imposter syndrome is a concept that resonates with many people in their audience. They clarify that it is not a clinical syndrome, but rather a term given to the persistent inability to believe that one's success is deserved or achieved due to one's own efforts and skills. They emphasize that they are not providing clinical advice, but rather aiming to drive the content of the conversation toward the middle and gain a better understanding of the concept. They also explored strategies for managing anxiety and imposter syndrome, including internalizing successes, practicing self-care, and seeking support from others. The conversation concluded with personal anecdotes and reflections on their experiences with imposter syndrome and anxiety, as well as their progress in their podcast.

Kathryn and Michael discussed the importance of taking breaks and vacations in their lives. They highlighted three types of trips: weekend getaways, week vacations, and extended trips. They focused on the mindset and preparation needed for weekend getaways, which Kathryn described as a way to multiply the vacation experience by taking a short break from work. They also highlighted the benefits of planning long trips for personal growth and team empowerment, and the importance of being fully present and engaged during breaks. They also discussed the various ways to enjoy these trips, such as with family, friends, or partners. The conversation aimed to help listeners prepare for their own trips and understand the importance of taking breaks in their lives.
