Building Bigger Lives

Ep 111: Is the Extra Mile Essential?


Listen Later

In this episode of The Building Bigger Lives Podcast, Michael and Kathryn discuss the concept of "essentialism" and the importance of slowing down to think and make meaningful decisions. The idea originates in the book "Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less" by Greg McKeown.

Essentialism emphasizes the importance of simplicity and clarity in communication. Kathryn and Michael explore how people often go beyond what is necessary, either through excessive preparation or detailed explanations, which can obscure the core message. The conversation touches on the need to distinguish between tasks that require extra effort and those that simply need clarity. They also discuss how simplicity can lead to freedom and efficiency, both in personal and professional settings. The key takeaways included the importance of self-reflection to streamline processes and the concept of going the "essential mile" rather than the "extra mile."
