Podcasts about Planner

Tired of work creeping into every open space? In this episode, I share how planning your life before your to-do list can reduce burnout, increase clarity, and help you run your business on your terms. Learn how to reverse engineer your week, make space for joy, and use your planner to lighten your mental load—not add to it.

The unexpected sucks. But it doesn't have too. In fact, I think you need it for greatness… …in life, in relationships, in business, and in workplace culture. I had a few unexpected things happen to me over the last few weeks and it got me thinking about resilience and the other related things to handling the unexpected. My business career, like yours, has been riddled with the unexpected. Adaptation has been critical. How does this apply to the culture of your workplace? I wanted to talk about it from the perspective of the employer and the employee. So, I did.

Today we're talking about that moment so many high-achieving business owners encounter: "What's next?"You've built something you're proud of, but a shift is happening. Maybe you're craving more ease, simplicity, impact, or space and rest. The conventional wisdom tells us growth equals success, but the truth is, success gets to look different in every season and for every person. Sometimes, the bravest thing you can do is pause and redefine what success means to you, right now.This episode is for entrepreneurs who have poured their time, sweat, and tears into building something meaningful, and are now asking deeper questions. For the first time, maybe it's less about proving and more about peace. Megan shares her own journey through this "in-between" space and why this crossroads isn't a failure—it's an invitation.This isn't a one-size-fits-all answer, but a guide to help you get clear on what you truly want and choose a path that feels grounded, not forced.Let's Work Together:Book a 90-Minute Clarity CallJoin Our In Person VIP CEO DayToday's episode is brought to you by The Planner's Vault—your go-to resource for wedding pros who want to grow, connect, and thrive.

Why do we separate these two things? There's a problem in today's corporate environment. We think we have to recruit people away from other companies and then “retain” them. But what if we thought of these things more similarly? If people are thinking about leaving so easily, than you've already lost them. You haven't delivered on what you said in the recruitment process. This lack of integrity causes a significant problem as companies and teams grow. You do so much to recruit and then you have to double down to retain. It should be a more cohesive process, and I have counterintuitive thought as to what will actually make it “more” cohesive. Enjoy the rest of your week and don't think about retention so much.

There's this trait that every leader should have. You can name a million of them but what is it? I've heard plenty of leadership trainings. The best one's will focus one specific trait for practice that can level up your work. But there's only one that I believe should be applied generally. We live in a world of more. Yet, in this case, you can bet that if you treat people this way, you'll find success in building relationships. Wel built relationships lead to strong teams that attract top talent and loyal customers. People want to be part of this type of environment. I had to invest an episode in this concept because I know it's power. It saved my life. Have a generous rest of the week.

Life often feels like a carefully planned play, where we prepare, strategize, and expect things to unfold according to our vision. Yet, just as a quarterback can call an audible and change the play at the last second, God sometimes redirects our lives in ways we never anticipated. My own journey as a planner—both in my career as a fire chief and in my personal life—was upended when my wife Deanna went home to be with the Lord. All my meticulous plans were suddenly irrelevant, and I was left to wrestle with the reality of whether I truly trusted God with all my heart, or if I had been relying on my own understanding all along.Proverbs 3:5-6 became a lifeline: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.” These words are simple, but their depth is profound. It's easy to say we trust God, but when life's foundation is shaken, we discover the areas we've kept for ourselves, the places where we've asked God to bless our plans rather than seeking His will first. True faith means surrendering every area—family, work, finances, relationships, even our very purpose—to God's direction, making Him the center of our lives rather than just another part.A God-centered life is not about the absence of suffering or loss, but about trusting that God's purposes will prevail, even when we don't understand. We are called to seek Him in all things: through prayer, through the counsel of the Holy Spirit and the community of believers, and through obedience to His Word. God's will is not a mystery reserved for the few; it is revealed as we humble ourselves, relinquish control, and walk in daily dependence on Him. Even in our pain and confusion, God is working all things together for good, drawing us and others closer to Himself.Ultimately, our lives are not about our own achievements or plans, but about glorifying God, growing in Christ, and serving others. The gospel—the good news of Jesus' death and resurrection—is the centerpiece of God's plan, the ultimate expression of His love and purpose for us. We are invited to trust Him fully, to let go of the exhausting burden of trying to be in control, and to rest in the assurance that He is the perfect planner, guiding us every step of the way.

Balance is impossible - and undesirable. I left town thinking I'd get "refreshed” but realized I actually just got deeper into the important stuff. This is how time off should be. If you're only relieved when you're away from the office, you're missing something. This isn't the first time I've talked about how I don't shoot for work/life balance but it's the deepest dive. I like to think about work life harmony instead. It's simpler. More realistic. And much more desirable. This episode is all about why. Have a generous rest of the week.

Dans cet épisode, on plonge dans la signification profonde de ‘Achoura, ce jour béni du mois de Muharram, marqué par la délivrance de Moussa عليه السلام et la victoire de la foi sur l'oppression.Tu découvriras :L'histoire bouleversante de Moussa et PharaonPourquoi le Prophète ﷺ tenait à jeûner ce jour-làLes leçons spirituelles à tirer pour ta propre vieComment préparer ton cœur et ton intention pour ne pas passer à côtéSi tu traverses une période difficile, cet épisode est un rappel que la délivrance vient toujours après l'épreuve.

People are quitting their jobs a lot these days. Should you try to avoid it or let people go? It depends…. There are some good reasons why someone might leave their job: relocation retirement family illness new opportunity I wouldn't consider any of these “quitting”. They are reasons for change. No one would fault your company for them and so it doesn't hurt recruitment/retnetion. What does hurt though is when someone feels bad enough that they quit - decide it's not worth it. It's important to understand the difference between these two things and the real reason why someone would bail on gainful employment. This will help to understand how to give people what they need to have a joyful work experience and stay. Have a generous rest of the week.

Coming after the baby boomers, Generation X is often referred to as “the forgotten generation,” the self-reliant generation and perhaps the last free-range generation. Today, you certainly could argue that it's  becoming the financial-panic generation. The first Gen Xers hit the workforce right around the time pensions gave way to 401(k) accounts with self-directed invested assets. Recent studies indicate that Gen Xers who have retirement accounts have saved on average somewhere in the neighborhood of $180,000. That's well below the $1 million popularly seen as the minimum requirement for beginning a comfortable retirement. (Of course, the ability to sustain income in retirement depends a lot on your spending habits and the quality of life you try to pursue.) Nearly 50% of Gen Xers don't even have a retirement plan, according to asset management firm Schroders. So IBJ Podcast host Mason King began compiling some of the most common questions his fellow Gen Xers ask about pending retirement or, if need be, semiretirement. For example, when is the best time to start taking Social Security, especially given that it's headed for a funding deficit early next decade? What exactly do you do with your 401k funds once you retire? And what should you start doing today if your retirement savings are in the five figures or low six figures? In this week's episode of the IBJ Podcast, columnist Pete the Planner weighs in on the big questions for Gen X and warns against a common strategy for diversifying portfolios that King thought was genius.

You can't do generous culture alone and that's why you have to close the loop. The great news is that you two thirds of the way there. It's important to understand how culture is “felt”. It's key in this case because the exponential growth factor is accessed in this flywheel of giving. The third step in the process is what ignites your entire teams passion for a giving culture. It's where educate them on what's working and encourage them to jump in and add their own twist. Once they know, they go. That puts them in their own loop and attracting others. Have a generous rest of the week.

John talks with Peter Awad — a 5-time business founder, co-founder of Mission Meats, founder of the Slow Hustle Podcast, leadership and executive coach, coach for Christian businessmen, and proud husband and dad. Peter talks about his transition from running multiple businesses to becoming a coach, his Legend Planner and how he uses it to stay aligned with his purpose, goals, and vision for life. Listen to this episode to learn more: [00:00] - Intro [01:15] - Peter's background [02:12] - Early life and entrepreneurial journey [04:10] - Discovering coaching as his true calling [06:58] - The 3 Ps: Pain → Purpose → Platform [09:13] - Separating identity from your career [11:28] - The gap and the gain [14:19] - Why men struggle to celebrate their wins [16:31] - Peter's Legend Planner and how it helps him stay aligned [23:24] - The power of gratitude and perspective [25:43] - How negative self-talk affects your brain [28:53] - How Peter's daughter recovered from a stroke [31:26] - Peter's podcast Slow Hustle [35:10] - Entrepreneurship isn't always as glamorous as it looks [37:33] - Need for entrepreneurs to create white space [40:31] - How fear impacts white space [45:00] - Outro NOTABLE QUOTES: “What's ordinary to you is magic to others.” “Part of life, to me, is discovering why. Why am I here? Because I'm not here just to occupy space. I'm supposed to be doing something with this gift I've been given, called life. What do I do with it?” “We entangle our identity and our occupation… that's not you. You've got to untangle this stuff.” “The cycle of life, you're either growing or you're dying. There is no in-between.” “Those little baby steps along the way are a good thing. They don't necessarily feel great in the moment. They feel okay. It's just when we take the moment to stop, turn around, and look to see how far we've come, then we realize we have grown so much.” “Your identity is worked out over time, in community.” “Want what you already have.” “Anytime you're pointing at someone, remember — there's a thumb headed up toward heaven, three other fingers pointing back at you. So whatever you say to somebody should apply to you at least three times as much.” “Seeking certainty is a lack of faith. God is not a God of certainty. He's a God of mystery. And when you can embrace the mystery, then you're like, ‘Oh, I don't need certainty. Wherever he wants me to go, I go.” “False identity is that you're a bad dad, you're a bad husband, you're a bad community leader... the true identity is what God tells you. It's what He reveals to you.” USEFUL RESOURCES: https://whitestonecoach.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/peterjawad/ https://www.instagram.com/thepeterawad/ https://www.facebook.com/thepeterawad https://x.com/peterawad CONNECT WITH JOHN Website - https://iamjohnhulen.com    Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/johnhulen    Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/johnhulen    X - https://x.com/johnhulen    LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnhulen    YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLX_NchE8lisC4NL2GciIWA    EPISODE CREDITS Intro and Outro music provided by Jeff Scheetz - https://jeffscheetz.com/

Are you caught in a loop of overthinking, over-planning, or playing it too safe? In this episode, Megan sits down with acclaimed psychologist, author, and TEDx speaker Dr. Patricia Zurita Ona (Dr. Z) to explore how high achievers can break free from anxiety, over-analysis, and the relentless pursuit of perfection.This conversation is a must-listen if you're ready to untangle old patterns, create more ease, clarity, and alignment in your life, and finally trust yourself to navigate uncertainty.Quick Note: This episode is part of an unintentional mini-series! If this topic resonates, be sure to check out Episode 317: Unlearning Overworking (solo episode on why rest feels uncomfortable for high achievers) and Episode 318: The Real Reason You're Questioning Everything (with guest Laura Gassner Otting, on identity shifts and trusting intuition). Each offers a unique perspective on burnout, identity, and self-trust.What You'll Learn in This Episode: ✅ How anxiety and fear-based responses shrink our lives – and how to expand beyond them ✅ The surprising truth about perfectionism in high achievers (it's not just about academics!)✅ Why "just drop your standards" is an alienating message for people who deeply care ✅ The subtle yet crucial difference between "doing your best" and "doing good enough" ✅ Why your inner critic is paradoxically trying to protect you – and how to respond to it ✅ The unhelpful cycle of responding to thinking with more thinking (and how to break it!) ✅ Common psychological traps that keep us stuck in chronic indecision ✅ The power of making "workable" choices instead of chasing "perfect" ones ✅ Why self-trust doesn't mean the absence of self-doubt, but the willingness to act with it ✅ The deepest fear for high achievers (and how to identify what's truly driving your actions) ✅ How to tap into your innate wisdom amidst the noise of constant doing and hustlingAbout Dr. Patricia Zurita Ona (Dr. Z):Website: https://www.thisisdoctorz.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dr.z.passionatebehaviorist/Episode Timestamps:00:03:50 – Dr. Z's personal journey with anxiety and the pivotal panic attack00:05:00 – How anxiety shrinks our lives and stops us from living authentically00:06:10 – Megan's experience as a professional worrier turned wedding planner00:08:36 – The hidden perfectionism of high achievers and why they can't "do mediocre work"00:10:49 – Why "dropping your standards" creates resistance and an alienated message00:12:07 – Dr. Z's story of being told to "stop working so hard" and its impact00:13:22 – Navigating generational shifts: "Practice makes perfect" vs. "Practice makes progress"00:14:57 – The radical acceptance of being an overachiever and learning to discriminate00:17:37 – Preparing for the guilt and remorse that comes with "good enough"00:18:11 – Distinguishing what's "good enough" in different life buckets (business, motherhood)00:19:31 – The role of self-compassion and humility in making tough choices00:23:15 – The value of pausing and processing (watching your mind)00:24:34 – Responding to yourself with gentleness and kindness when guilt arrives00:25:11 – The never-ending background noise of the inner critic00:26:24 – Understanding the inner critic's purpose: It's trying to protect you00:29:49 – Why you can't win a "mind chess game" with your inner critic00:31:17 – Making decisions from values vs. fear (avoiding or gaining something)00:32:28 – Navigating big life decisions without spiraling into overwhelm00:33:53 – Why humans hate uncertainty and how it impacts decision-making00:35:43 – The Buddhist parable of the monkey and the lotus (attachment to "how things are supposed to be")00:37:03 – Thinking biases: black and white thinking, hypervigilance, fear of regret00:37:55 – Our ability to adapt: every decision is a bet on the future00:38:26 – Maximizers vs. Satisficers: Understanding your decision style00:41:01 – Giving ourselves permission to make a workable, not perfect, choice00:41:51 – The crucial role of self-trust in navigating what comes next00:42:40 – Psychological flexibility: being flexible with the world inside and out00:44:54 – Overthinking as a coping mechanism to avoid emotions00:46:43 – The deepest fear of high achievers: the fear of failure00:47:50 – Checking in: What is really driving your "go, go, go" mode?00:48:40 – Cultivating your inner wisdom (it's soft and tender, not demanding)Today's episode is brought to you by The Planner's Vault—your go-to resource for wedding pros who want to grow, connect, and thrive.

Picture this: it's June, the sun is calling your name, and all you want to do is sit poolside with an iced coffee without thinking about your inbox, Slack messages, or the dreaded social media algorithm. You tell yourself, "This summer I'm going to take a real break. I deserve it. I need it."But then the panic hits. What if my audience forgets about me? What if my sales dry up? What if everything crumbles while I'm lounging at the cottage with no wifi?I've been there, and I get it. Every year I set the intention to take time off, and most years I have to fight those mental gymnastics trying to convince myself it's okay to step away. But here's the thing – you can absolutely take time off, unplug, slow down, AND your business can still thrive. You just need to plan for it.In this episode, I'm spilling the tea on exactly what I do in my business every summer to create space, stay visible, and keep the money flowing while traveling, resting, and living life at a slower pace.
