A talk on embracing different passions within your business and finding synergy rather than just balance. Katy outlines her journey as a business owner, HR executive, and podcast host, providing valuable insights into managing multiple interests and the importance of following all your passions.

Katy explains the concept of synergy and how it differs from traditional ideas of balance, emphasizing that it's about creating a harmonious integration of different passions rather than compartmentalizing them. She addresses common challenges and misconceptions, like the pressure to monetize every passion and how to attract the right clients through strategic niching. Bree and Katy also exchange time management strategies, discussing the innovative idea of "attention management" for better productivity.

Key Takeaways:

• Embrace Multi-Passionate Entrepreneurship: It’s normal and beneficial to have multiple passions. Each passion fulfills different parts of you and can coexist harmoniously in your business.
• Synergy Over Balance: Synergy involves integrating your various passions seamlessly rather than striving for strict balance. It’s about cooperation and creating a greater combined effect.
• Strategic Niching: You can be multi-passionate and still attract ideal clients by clearly defining your offers and knowing how they interconnect.
• Manage Your Time & Attention: Effective time management involves setting clear boundaries and potentially adopting attention management to align tasks with your current mental focus and energy.
• Know When to Monetize: Not every passion needs to be monetized. Sometimes, it’s enough to pursue a passion simply for personal fulfillment.

Notable Quotes:

1. "One of the reasons why it’s important to really embrace the differences in things that you’re passionate about is because it's okay if you don’t get fulfillment, like 100% fulfillment out of one of them." 
2. "Synergy really allows them to come together and be the best of who you are." 
3. "It’s totally awesome and welcomed to embrace those different passions because they all feed a different part of our heart and soul."
