In this episode:
Shannon and Amy explore how their recent European travels have enriched their perspectives as business leaders. They discuss the transformative power of travel, from boosting confidence and cultural awareness to cultivating adaptability and empathy. Through these experiences, they gain insights into the value of curiosity, resilience, and intentional disconnection, which they apply to their approach as founders and to fostering growth in their business.
Here are two takeaways from Season 8 Episode 1:
- We often carry more than we actually use.
Consider embracing simplicity in your life and work. Just as Shannon found on her 100-mile trek across Spain, carrying only the essentials brings clarity and focus. We often weigh ourselves down with unnecessary baggage—both physical and mental—while true fulfillment and peace come from letting go of the excess and focusing on what truly matters. Simplify where you can, and watch how it opens up space for growth and purpose.
- Adaptability is key in business.
Think of travel’s unpredictability—missed connections, changing weather, language barriers—as a perfect training ground for business. Like on a journey, flexibility in business helps you handle unexpected challenges, recognize new opportunities, and build resilience. Embrace adaptability. You’ll find it’s a powerful asset for fostering sustained growth and success.
